WTF Coach: How To Stop Expecting Attention From Others

Release Date: 09/04/2022

Description: About a month ago, I sent an email out to the Sensophy community, basically saying, how dope would it be if you had like a Life Coach in your Pocket.  And any question that you had, BOOM, you could immediately have an answer to it. And I offered the opportunity for people to write me. And I said, for the next 48 hours, I'll be your "Life Coach in your Pocket". And  I was thinking, what if we shared those messages that I sent to people? Here I share one of those recordings. Let's do this!

How to finish writing your novel: don't write for free, with Alexander Chee

Release Date: 09/30/2021

Description: In this interview, Alexander and I talk a lot about money, and specifically, about how asking for money and negotiating for what you want and need is a key piece of building a healthy relationship with your work and career. We also talked about the myth of the solitary artist, and the reality: that community and relationships are key to not just success, but survival. Finally, Alexander is the source of an incredibly pivotal insight for me: that caring for your creative process IS self-care, and when you allow yourself the margin to take care of your work process, it benefits not only your body and mental health (and that of your family and loved ones) but the work itself. More from the episode... The importance of collective action in securing the rights of authors. The role of community in creative career-building. How is writing "a community project"? What is the "golden thread" and how does it help creators build relationships with their followers? The word "networking" sounds "weirdly clinical" to Alexander— why at some point he figured out that's what he was doing, and that it was a key to his success. What's a better way to look at this fraught term? Alexander breaks down why writers should always ask for more money: "Sometimes people are like, how come the Queen of the Night took you so long? And it's like, well, I did waste a lot of time writing essays for $150." What was in the folder writer Denis Johnson (Jesus's Son) labeled "answers"? Instead of running himself into the ground because he's eager to please, Alexander lays out his process to not overschedule himself. How earning with your work can help you make more work, in a literal as well as an emotional sense: "It won me ...a typewriter that I then used to write for a long time. And that typewriter became a talisman at a time that I needed a talisman. I wrote this typewriter into existence. I'm now using it to write more stories." "Don't be so grateful that you let yourself down." —What Alexander would tell his younger self if he could. Why it's so important to trust yourself and recognizing when self-doubt is holding you back from pursuing your creative goals. Alexander lays out several important pieces of advice to novice pro writers, including "There's no reason to think that just because you're an unknown writer you can't somehow get a decent fee for your work." More from our guest: Alexander Chee is the author of the novels Edinburgh, The Queen of the Night, and the essay collection How To Write An Autobiographical Novel as well as many short stories and essays. He is a contributing editor at The New Republic, an editor at large at VQR, and a critic-at-large for The Los Angeles Times. He currently teaches creative nonfiction and fiction at Dartmouth College.

Episode 161: Edit the Ego and Write with Intuition

Release Date: 07/13/2023

Description: Today on the podcast, I talk to Jacqueline Fisch, the founder of the Intuitive Writing School. Jacqueline shares how writing is a helpful practice to "get out all of the junk" in the mind. We can give ourselves so much freedom to express when we let ourselves write down all of the thoughts and emotions first, and then pause to edit. We don't have to edit ourselves while we are crafting our expressions. This is a helpful practice when thinking about how we write in both personal and professional settings. In our conversation, we explore how looking at your most recent forms of communication (ie. email, slack, texts, DM etc) can offer a lot of insight into your communication style. Jacqueline also shares how we can work with the perfectionist mind when it starts to get loud in writing practice. Take a listen to the whole episode and share your takeaways with us @OneWade and @theintuitivewritingschool.   Are you craving a central space where you can feel centered? Look no further. You can feel at home in your own skin by having access to the Centered in the City platform, right at your fingertips. This is a mindfulness-based library full of holistic practices designed to help you feel centered no matter how much time you have or where you are in the world. You get to always come back home to yourself so that you can feel your best for the people and world around you. Sign up for your 7-day free trial here.    ***** Jacqueline Fisch is an author, copywriter, writing coach, and the founder of The Intuitive Writing School. She helps creatives move past writer’s block and perfectionism so they can finish their important work, and she supports business owners in finding their authentic voice so they can make an impact on the world. Before launching her writing and coaching business, Jacq spent 13 years working in corporate communications and management-consulting for clients including Fortune 500 companies and the US government. As a freelance copywriter and coach, she’s helped hundreds of clients — tech startups, life and business coaches, creatives, and more — learn how to communicate more authentically and stand out in a busy online world. After moving 14 times in 20 years, she’s decided that home is where the people are. She finds home with her husband, two kids, a dog, a cat, and a few houseplants hanging on by a thread.
