As a self-help author, I've had the privilege of sharing my insights and expertise with individuals seeking transformation. Through my books, "Healing Depression" and "Reinvent Yourself," I aim to inspire and guide those on their journey towards healing, growth, and self-discovery.
I share my journey of being a self-help author on my blog.
I LOVE this.. thank you for all the wonderful confessions π You've really helped me clarify what that burning question is that I need answered.. the reason WHY I am writing my book! π I look forward to working on the full proposal in the "incubator" later this month βΊοΈ x
Thank you so much for this. Today, and not for the first time, I wrote that I write because I must. Just like breathing and eating, I must write to more fully live my life. I am 66 drawing very near to 67 and have wanted to write since I was a child. I am just now finding my way forward. I canβt wait for the book dream experience.
Your work resonates so deeply with the truth of my own experience too, Beth. So grateful.
AND I hope you practice radical self-compassion and loving kindness for yourself too!!! When I read this: "You might think βWell if youβd done a bit more around publication day youβd have made that listβ"
I thought, "I wasn't thinking that, perhaps this is Beth's own Inner Critic..." and I was sooo happy to then read, "but maybe I did the most that I had the capacity to do at that moment in my life, as I launched a book about grieving my mother, and administered a large dose of forgiveness to myself." Three cheers for the art of extreme self care, radical self-compassion, and profound loving kindness towards oneself first, which we can then naturally extend out towards others.π₯³πΎπ₯π β¨π§ββοΈπ€ΈββοΈπΌπ·ππΊπͺ·πβοΈ πππΊβ―οΈπ₯°β¨πππποΈ
So much of this made me laugh out loud, Beth. I can picture you hiding your books in a giant wreath π Another affirming essay on the reality and joy of living the writing life. Thank you for all you share π€π«

Lovely post. I'm in the process of writing a self-help book and this is really inspiring and helpful.
Oooh exciting! We help ourselves as we write them Xx
A generous and wise post, thanks Beth. Helped to be reminded I am writing to answer my own urgent questions ! So easy to lose sight of this π
It really is!

Yes to this! Itβs as good a reason as any and perhaps the only reason that really matters β€οΈ
βWhat works for writing works for lifeβ - thank you Beth for another thought provoking and absorbing article.
Pleasure Xx
