#2 - Heal Others
By giving others the opportunity to see themselves though you, you tap into the collective consciousness that can heal hearts and souls.
#1 - Heal Yourself
Writing your story and sharing your knowledge is a powerful way of c processing information (I like to call this "emotional processing system"), releasing it from your system to free us stuck energy, ultimately bringing your heart and soul into alignment. And when we heal ourselves, the ripple effect of healing is massive.
This is why I feel so confidant is saying, writing a book will save your life.
When it comes to being a writing coach, my area of focus is not in supporting you to simply churn out information. I am here to support you in telling your story. In helping you to work though and process lived experiences, and to share your growth so that you can come through to the other side transformed.
The act of writing is so healing! You become the channel for healing energy that writing brings. It is like taking a big old duster and cleaning out all of the thoughts and memories that are jamming up your system.
Your story matters and the world deserves to hear it.
If you have ever wanted to write a book, I want you to know that this is the universe tapping you on the shoulder, begging you to bring it forward, so that others may heal from it too.
