In this episode, I'm joined by my good friend Amanda Frances for a real, unfiltered conversation about what it actually looks like to become an author today—and why self-publishing is no longer the "alternative"… it's the power move.

Between the two of us, we've sold hundreds of thousands of books, built global audiences, and turned our writing into real businesses. And at one point, we both had the same realization:

We don't need permission.

In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on the publishing industry, breaking down the myths, and showing you what's actually possible when you decide to do it your way.

If you've been thinking about writing a book, sitting on an idea, or waiting to be chosen...this is your sign.

• The biggest myths about traditional publishing
• What book deals really look like behind the scenes
• Why self-publishing gives you more control, ownership, and income
• How to turn your book into a long-term asset (not just a one-time project)
• The identity shift required to become a visible, paid author
• What to do if you want to start writing your book now

• You have a book idea you haven't acted on
• You've been waiting for a publisher, agent, or "right time"
• You want to build a brand, business, or platform through your writing
• You're ready to stop playing small and actually put your work into the world

If this episode spoke to you, Self-Published was created for exactly this moment.

Inside, you'll learn how to write, publish, and sell your book—on your terms.

It needs people who know how to tell their story in a way that moves peoploe. Because when people are moved, they create movements.

In today's episode, I'm digging into why your voice is your biggest business asset as an entrepreneur and how you can make yours stand out in a sea of AI-soaked posts and trends.

If you've been thinking about starting a Substack, writing a book, or using your voice to grow your infulence, this conversation is for you.

It's time to stop glamorizing the things that are secretly destroying you.

In this episode, I'm talking about the seemingly harmless habits, personality traits, and lifestyle choices we defend...even when they're keeping us stuck. Wine culture, exhaustion as identity, staying where it's comfortable, calling chaos passion. Many of us are telling ourselves pretty little lies about the way we're living and wonder why we're not reaching out potential.

If you're ready to explore the "aesthetic" or glamorous ways you may be subconsioculy sabotaging yourself, this one's for you.
