53 - saying no to say yes: prioritizing time for dreams of writing

Have you ever thought of being selfish as a positive thing? Our guest this episode is Georgina Cross, a bestselling author who shares how moms need to take back the word “selfish” and shift our perspective a bit. By making her time a priority, channeling her energy wisely, and dedicating herself actually doing the work, she hit her goal of publishing her first book — all while navigating single motherhood. She then went on to publish five more (with another in the works!) and was able to leave her job to write full time. None of this would have been possible without taking those first steps of saying no to other activities and yes to herself. This conversation with Georgina will encourage you, whether you are an aspiring author, you have a hobby that might one day be a career, or you simply love a good story. I walked away from our conversation inspired and with a list of takeaways. (And if you love a good thriller, make sure to pick up a copy of one of Georgina’s books! I really enjoyed Nanny Needed.)
