    66: Medicine Woman Writer: The Words Are Ready
    Apr 5 2026
    Stepping Into My 'Medicine Woman Writer' Identity and Sharing the Deeper Work

    I'm so happy to share what's been unfolding in my writing life lately. None of this was planned by the way. This is the work of staying present and allowing what wants to unfold, to unfold.

    I had planned to write a simple intro post about turning paid subscriptions on for my Substack. Well, that was my plan, but the words took a completely different path. Instead of stopping the flow and forcing myself to stick to the topic I had planned, I let the words flow.

    What came through surprised me. Immediately, I remembered the text I received from a new book coaching client after just one call. Her words sparked a cascade of memories from the past three years.

    You'll hear how the writing unfolded, but the real heart of the episode is the shift I'm making: embracing a calling to share the deeper, more spiritual writing I've held back. This is the writing that used to feel like "too much." The writing (so far) reflects on faith, cycles, and the parts of entrepreneurship most people stay quiet about.

    After the phrase "Medicine Woman Writer" came up in a conversation with my teacher, and I received a confirmation text from a client, I knew I had to go all in. A dragonfly, symbolizing transformation and authenticity, appeared while I was editing the essay, giving me the final "yes" to publish the work that (still) felt a little scary.

    After writing online for 14 years, I know without a doubt that the stories I almost didn't publish are the ones that resonated most.

    My writing space is now becoming a home for this work beneath the work.

    I've opened up just 40 founding member spots in my Substack until tonight (Sunday night).

    These spots are for 💎 The Originals who are ready to write from their own medicine, not someone else's formula, and are done using AI to write for them. They get exclusive bonuses like the Energy First Writing Initiation and a Writing Authority Audit. If you're listening after Sunday, monthly and annual subscriptions are still open

    Key Takeaways (the practical bits):

    • The platform for your writing doesn't matter — focus on making it easy to serve your readers

    • When the words are flowing, don't turn them off — even if it means publishing more, or something different than you had planned

    • The "Medicine Woman Writer" is about helping people who feel they have nothing to say, or who have blocked throat chakras, find their voice

    • The stories that feel scary to share, where you don't have all the answers yet, are the ones that are the most impactful and become your "medicine" at work

    65: From IT Manager to 15 Books in Her 60s: Neera Mahajan's Unstoppable Writing Journey

    Silence Your Inner Critic: How to Write and Publish a Book Fast I was so excited to welcome Neera Mahajan, author, book coach, and founder of The Author Circle, to the podcast. We connected on Substack, and I was immediately drawn to her story. Neera shared how a critical comment about her written English from her IT manager during a performance review became the catalyst for her incredible writing journey. That one comment prompted her to sign up for a writing course and stayed with her for years, eventually leading her to publish her first book at age 60. Neera's writing journey is similar to learning to ride a bike—you keep going until one day, it just clicks, and all of a sudden, you're writing (or riding). We talk about the importance of writing quickly to silence the inner critic, which she discovered after challenging herself to write and publish her first book in just seven days. These days, though, she gives herself 30 days to write the first draft of any book. Neera also shared her highly effective writing routine: working in 15-minute increments to consistently hit her word count, and chronicling her day in a daily diary. Her biggest message for you: Write books. A blog post lives for a day, a newsletter for a week, but a book lives forever. Key Takeaways: Your biggest challenge can be your catalyst to life-changing work. Practice over talent: Neera persisted with life-story writing for years, proving that persistence is essential to developing a strong writing voice. Writing the first draft quickly, often within 30 days, prevents the inner critic from having time to derail the process. The power of a timer: Neera uses 15-minute intervals to make the most out of her focused writing time. If you've been writing online, you probably have more than enough content to repurpose into a book. One of my favorite parts of this interview was learning about her daily writing habits. She starts her day by writing one page in her daily diary to chronicle the previous day, a habit that helps her stay on track, followed by focused blocks of writing, editing, and business-related work.

    64: Stripping Away the Sludge to Find Your True Voice

    The Power of Subtraction

    I recently joined a professional networking group. Which you might find cringey. I find many of them cringey, too, so I get it.

    Sure, there are "those people" in every room, handing you a business card even when you didn't ask. But for every pushy person, there are people there who are waiting for you — and your clear, authentic signal.

    Which proved itself when one lady made a beeline for me right after my first meeting. It was evidence that shows when your signal is clear, the people who need to hear it will resonate. They'll come and find you.

    I talk about the noise that weakens your signal:

    • Speaking before truly listening

    • Changing who you are to be liked and accepted

    • Devouring low-vibration media

    To boost your signal, there's really nothing to add — only some things to subtract. It's a relentless, consistent act of removing all the gunk, like cleaning the build-up you can't see inside your stainless steel straw.

    You'll hear about a conversation I had with a neurosomatic therapist about my business name. A conversation that sent chills up the right side of my neck. A signature signal I feel.

    Through our conversation, we realized that our work is very similar — to help remove blocks so that the client's own clear signal — their intuition — can come through strong.

    In this episode, I share:

    • The exact things I've subtracted to keep my own signal strong.

    • Why "The Intuitive Writing School" is not about me, but about empowering you.

    • Simple ways I strengthen my signal
