66: Medicine Woman Writer: The Words Are Ready
Stepping Into My 'Medicine Woman Writer' Identity and Sharing the Deeper Work
I'm so happy to share what's been unfolding in my writing life lately. None of this was planned by the way. This is the work of staying present and allowing what wants to unfold, to unfold.
I had planned to write a simple intro post about turning paid subscriptions on for my Substack. Well, that was my plan, but the words took a completely different path. Instead of stopping the flow and forcing myself to stick to the topic I had planned, I let the words flow.
What came through surprised me. Immediately, I remembered the text I received from a new book coaching client after just one call. Her words sparked a cascade of memories from the past three years.
You'll hear how the writing unfolded, but the real heart of the episode is the shift I'm making: embracing a calling to share the deeper, more spiritual writing I've held back. This is the writing that used to feel like "too much." The writing (so far) reflects on faith, cycles, and the parts of entrepreneurship most people stay quiet about.
After the phrase "Medicine Woman Writer" came up in a conversation with my teacher, and I received a confirmation text from a client, I knew I had to go all in. A dragonfly, symbolizing transformation and authenticity, appeared while I was editing the essay, giving me the final "yes" to publish the work that (still) felt a little scary.
After writing online for 14 years, I know without a doubt that the stories I almost didn't publish are the ones that resonated most.
My writing space is now becoming a home for this work beneath the work.
I’ve opened up just 40 founding member spots in my Substack until tonight (Sunday night).
These spots are for 💎 The Originals who are ready to write from their own medicine, not someone else's formula, and are done using AI to write for them. They get exclusive bonuses like the Energy First Writing Initiation and a Writing Authority Audit. If you're listening after Sunday, monthly and annual subscriptions are still open
Key Takeaways (the practical bits):
The platform for your writing doesn't matter — focus on making it easy to serve your readers
When the words are flowing, don't turn them off — even if it means publishing more, or something different than you had planned
The "Medicine Woman Writer" is about helping people who feel they have nothing to say, or who have blocked throat chakras, find their voice
The stories that feel scary to share, where you don't have all the answers yet, are the ones that are the most impactful and become your "medicine" at work
