From Self Doubt To Self Published - Lessons From My Book Launch

We’ve all had those moments of self-doubt, right? When you look at a big goal and think, “There's no way I can do that.” Well, I’ve been there too. When I started writing my first book, I was hit hard by imposter syndrome. But I didn’t let it stop me! Instead, I turned that doubt into determination, and now I’m sharing how I went from doubting myself to a published author.
In this raw and honest episode, I spill the tea on:
My biggest struggles during the book writing process.
Setting realistic, manageable goals (and why my initial two-month deadline was a disaster).
Juggling multiple priorities without losing your mind.
The power of asking for help early (and who to turn to).
How I overcame paralyzing self-doubt.
Overcoming perfectionism and imposter syndrome
The game-changing mindset shift that finally got me to publish.
Whether you’re dreaming of writing a book, switching careers, or attempting any massive goal, this episode is for you. I’ll show you how to break down intimidating projects, prioritize like a boss, and kick those nagging doubts to the curb.
Trust me, if I can do it, so can you. Let’s turn those dreams into reality together!

How To Find Happiness on your way to Success

Feeling stuck and unhappy while chasing goals is quite a common problem for many. In this episode of Pivot and Passion, we'll discuss further the idea that true success comes from enjoying the journey, not just the destination.
Here are some key takeaways:
Find your why: When setting your goals, it’s important that you understand your motivations. Why do you want to achieve something? Does it align with your values? If not, you might need to re-evaluate your goals.
Focus on joy: When will you start living? When you’ve already reached your goals? Don’t wait for that time to come! Integrate different activities that you enjoy throughout the day and find ways to make what you do more fulfilling.
Be grateful always: Studies show that gratitude can actually increase happiness. Keeping a gratitude journal, and other gratitude practices can help you see and appreciate the good things in your life, even when there are challenges.
You might also want to check out the book, Feel Good Productivity, which focuses on joy and fulfillment in everything you do. You can also get my self-care journal through this link: Self-Care: A Day and Night Reflection Journal (90 Days) (Inner World)
