Wanna see the worst thing I ever wrote?
If I had a penny for every time a smart, intelligent and captivating woman told me she’s not a “good writer" I’d have bought at least 3 more cats by now and finally invested in a high-end capsule wardrobe.
You see, I think the process of writing (and creativity in general!) is misunderstood.
I believe there's a misconception that people who are “good at writing” poop out spectacular prose without even trying.
But honestly? I believe the opposite to be true.
People who identify as “good at writing” most likely have a much harder time getting the damn thing written because they have the hefty weight of all these expectations on their shoulders.
I myself, have often received compliments on my word-smithery.
But I want to prove to you that I'm a terrible writer.
I'm just pretty dedicated to editing the hell out of it so it's readable.
So you remember that email I sent you on Tuesday? The one titled 'Lizzo, Morning Pages + Creative Hijacking'?
Well, I actually documented how I went about writing it.
And I've wrapped it all up in an article for you to read here!
If you read the first draft on there, it's literally awful. Like embarrassingly bad.
But the whole thing is a perfect example of why it's important to Write Messy & Edit Ruthlessly. <--- slogan for my next mug maybe?
I hope it makes you feel a little better about yourself, Reader!

Hello Reader - my gorgeous subscriber, It’s been a hot minute since I’ve been in your inbox, no? I could explain it away with some self-deprecating nonsense about lack of consistency & blah blah I’ve been busy blah…. but the honest truth is this: I’ve been finding more joy sharing elsewhere lately. From my YouTube channel, to re-purposing episodes into Podcasts and creating more videos on IG & TikTok - I’ve been uninterested in just creating some filler email content that would leave us both...

Last night in bed, the panic hit me. An unbearable weight on my chest, my stomach solid and my jaw clenched tight. I pulled out my journal and the following conversation took place between me and my husband, Joe, who was lying beside me. Him: What are you doing?! Me: Journalling. Him: Why? It's bed time. Me: Because I'm having a mini-anxiety attack. Him: About what? Me: I don't know. My thoughts are just going crazy and I'm spinning out a bit. Him: Well, what are you thinking? Me: I honestly...
