  • Resumen

  • Welcome to the Business Book Bites podcast, where we give you a bite-sized taste of the insights and strategies from successful authors and business experts.In this episode, Karen Williams and Sheryl Andrews explore the unexpected discoveries authors often make during the book writing journey. Writing a book can lead to tremendous personal growth. The writing process forces you to dig deep, heal old wounds, find your authentic voice, and gain newfound clarity and confidence in your own expertise. Sheryl candidly talked about her own journey of writing her first book and the breakthroughs she experienced at writing retreats - learning to set boundaries, manage her time, and put her own needs first in order to write at her best. Karen highlighted how working with a book mentor or writing coach can uncover the invisible parts of what you instinctively know and do.Together, they emphasised how getting feedback during the writing process, while scary, ultimately makes you braver and helps you make a bigger impact. Writing slows things down so you can analyse, process emotions, and gain self-acceptance.

You start to recognise the value of what you know and can see it in black and white. This boosts confidence in your own wisdom and knowledge.Writing about personal experiences, even in a how-to book, can be cathartic.
