Lost your creative spark? Not sure what to do?
Let me help you find greener pastures.
Are you feeling burned out?
Tired of working to keep up with impossible standards?
Today’s publishing paradigm is broken! And it’s hurting authors.
I help authors communicate easier by connecting their creative spirit with practical action. To do this, I use my over two decades as a published author to create services designed to reduce overwhelm and keep authors focused on what matters to them in order to cultivate creative wellness, prevent and overcome burnout, and create their own publishing career so they can thrive as authors.
Discover your strengths and what’s working for you.
Get help with technical things like your website and newsletter to take more OFF your plate.
Learn to love writing again and jump over any obstacles in your way.
The truth is
The current publishing paradigm treats books like “widgets” produced in a factory and authors like assembly line workers.
That’s a recipe designed to create chronic stress and burnout!
And for authors chronic stress causes
Loss of joy and diminished creativity
Feeling like you have to do more with less resources
Imposter syndrome
Health issues
(and yes, burnout!)
You could stay stuck on the write – publish – promote treadmill and get (or remain) burned out OR YOU COULD
craft the publishing path that works for you and keeps you telling the stories you were meant to tell.
Let’s start this transformation by
Take A Publishing Inventory
We start by seeing where you’re at now and where you want to be. Then, we determine your strengths. With those pieces of information, next we can plot a path.
Discover Your Publishing Profile
As part of the inventory process, we’ll take a publishing profile to see which publishing path will unlock your creative genius. This is your key to success along this journey and a can’t miss step.
Create A Journey
Now that we have the key to your creative genius, we’ll craft a journey toward creative wellness. This is no turn-by-turn boring GPS; it’s filled with landmarks and sights you’ll want to see.
Your quest to find greener pastures begins by booking a free call.

Instead of Work/Life Balance Focus on Dharma
In my last blog I talked about how the mind-body divide, or in today's terms, the focus on work-life balance seems to have broken career balance. And as soon as I hit publish on that blog, I could hear the questions coming. If I'm not supposed to focus on having...
How the Mind/Body Divide Broke Life/Career Balance
The common way we think about work-life or life-career balance is that there is a time for "life" and a time for your career. And like that odd mixture of cranberry sauce and gravy at an (American) Thanksgiving plate, the two really shouldn't meet. The problem is that...
The Most Common Error I See In Author Life Balance
I follow a lot of self-proclaimed author gurus and I'm noticing that a lot of them are pivoting away from faster writing and shorter times between releases and more toward trying to sell authors on creating a sustainable career and finding the elusive author life...
