      58: The Power of Roundups: How to Honor Your Wins and Gain Clarity
      Feb 3 2026
      Behind the scenes of my January roundup, writing wins, and what flowed when I stopped forcing. Welcome to a behind-the-scenes peek into my writing life and business as I share my January roundup. As a writer and business owner for over a decade, I track my stats and key performance indicators (KPIs) with both heart and brains. Every month, I review my metrics, including website traffic, social growth, podcast downloads, client consultations, and community growth. All to track progress and celebrate wins. Why I Love a Roundup Post A roundup is one of the easiest and most fun types of content to write because you're simply summarizing your actions and celebrating wins. It's so easy to check the box on your to-do list and move on without pausing to honor what you've accomplished, but roundups help you see your wins in black and white. Plus, they allow you to share a wide range of things you love, from books and blogs to products and new discoveries. Celebrating My January Wins January was a month of beautiful momentum. A few things I'm celebrating: Website Traffic: The Intuitive Writing School website traffic was up 41%! I keep older content fresh by updating top-performing articles for SEO, such as my post on Mercury Retrograde or time-based writing prompts. Podcast Episodes: I'm celebrating 57 episodes of the How Women Write podcast (actually, this one makes 58). Substack Flow: I wrote six new Substack articles and started a new feature, Writers Gonna Write Wednesday, with text-only interviews from writers in my community. The Living Draft Launch: I launched a new writing container — The Living Draft — that treats your work as alive. It's been too good not to do again! Key Takeaways: Track KPIs with Heart and Brains: Use key performance indicators to celebrate your wins and gain clarity for any changes you'll make moving forward. Why Write a Roundup: Summarize your actions and wins over a theme or timeframe (like a month) to honor your progress. (Readers love these!) Refresh Old Content: Update and change the publish date on old, high-performing blog posts for renewed SEO and traffic. Balance Flow and Planning: Avoid forcing your writing; instead, embrace spontaneity with loose planning, like using the "surrendered first draft" method. Community Matters: Flow states are more common in group activities, and writing with a community can make a solo activity feel less lonely.

      57: Why I Came Back to Substack — and What It Changed in My Writing
      Jan 24 2026
      In this episode, I share the winding journey of my relationship with blogging and newsletter platforms, and why I've returned to Substack … for the second time. You'll hear some useful insights about the common fears writers face when choosing a platform for their writing, and mostly about why it's okay to change your mind, evolve your opinions, and trust your work. I've learned that changing my mind, pivoting, and shifting direction are part of the work and of trusting myself. Importantly, I know that putting my writing first (no matter where it lives) is what matters most. This episode takes you on a journey from 2023 through today, when I went back and forth between Substack and my blog (which lives on Squarespace). Ultimately, I landed on Substack for my primary writing platform. It's simple, community-focused, and a cozy place for writers (but you have to curate it!) Key Takeaways Changing your mind is okay: You're supposed to grow and evolve as a writer, human, and creative. No explanations needed. The platform is not your purpose: The goal is to keep putting your writing out there — don't let overthinking about the platform be a barrier. Simply start. Start where you can: I love Substack for new online writers because it's free, easy, and focused on writing first. With Substack, the article IS the email, so you can do double duty and don't need an email service as well (unless you're doing email marketing). Answers to the top questions business owners have about SEO, what to do with old blogs, and where to start writing if you don't have a business yet.

      56: Laughter is Healing: Comedian Lady Q on Storytelling & Finding Your Authentic Voice
      Jan 21 2026
      I can't tell you how excited I am to introduce you to the first comedian I've had on the podcast, Lady Q! When I realized that comedians are, at their heart, storytellers, I knew I had to have her on, and I can't wait for you to be delighted. Lady Q is a clean comedian and inspirational speaker who blends humor, faith, and healing. She shares her incredible journey with us, starting with her time as a youth pastor who made her church's women's conference laugh in 2008, launching her 17-year career. You'll get to hear about her joke writing process, how she finds fresh material from major life transitions—like raising kids, dating, and getting married later in life—and why she prioritizes telling stories that make people think, not just laugh. Lady Q also leaves us with powerful tips for writers and speakers on finding your authentic voice and even what she does to protect her voice before stepping onto the stage. Key Takeaways: Your Life is Material: Experiences are the best source of content. Comedians Say What You're Thinking: Aka, saying the quiet part out loud. A comedian's job is to be brave enough to speak the relatable, funny, and sometimes awkward observations that the audience is already thinking. The Joke Writing Process: Lady Q prepares for a set by thinking about the event, the audience, and her personal experiences related to the topic. Then, she'll write the jokes out but gives herself permission to go off-script to keep the conversation flowing. Be Authentically You: Her biggest tips for storytelling — find your voice, use your regular voice (not your work voice, or "customer service voice" as my kids sometimes say to me), and be vulnerable. She intentionally limits watching other comedians to avoid unconsciously mimicking their style, which is smart advice for writers, too! Protecting Your Energy and Voice: Before a show, she meditates, limits talking, avoids eating and her phone, and focuses on her opening line.
