  • Unlock Author Genius is a podcast about authors who unlocked their genius and focused on overcoming self-sabotaging behaviors like imposter syndrome, fear, anxiety, overwhelm, and a whole host of other obstacles and issues. 

    The podcast is geared toward authors who are stuck in some way on their journey to finishing writing and publishing a book.

    Episodes featuring successfully published authors are being created right now!

     

    Examples of some of the obstacles that authors deal with:

    Self-sabotaging thoughts . . .

    1. Who am I to write a book? ‘Imposter Syndrome’
    2. I’m not a writer! ‘perfectionism'
    3. I’m afraid no one will care about my book. Otherwise known as ‘what if no one reads it?'
    4. I’m afraid my book will upset people. ‘judgement fear’
    5. What if I run out of things to say? ‘I don’t have an interesting life or much life experience’
    6. I’m going to look stupid. ‘what will my [friends, partner, mum, coach] think’
    7. I don’t have time to write a book. ‘this is not really a priority for me,’ or ‘I’m freaking scared to death and have all of the above fears going on but I’ll blame it on not having time!’

    Fears . . .
    1. Fear that no one will read my book
    2. Fear of being penniless
    3. Fear of criticism
    4. Fear of being a bad writer
    5. Fear of not knowing what to write

    Self-talk . . .
    “I don’t have a book in me.”
    “I’m afraid my book isn’t original enough.”
    “I’m afraid my book won’t be good enough.”
    “I’m afraid no one will care about my book.”
    “I’m afraid my book will upset people.”
    “I’m afraid my book will make me look stupid.”
