69: The Era of the Regulated Writer: Why Grounding is the New Productivity
Why Traditional Writing Advice Fails in the Age of Information Overload
I'm so happy to be back talking with you after missing a week. My voice decided to take a break right as Uranus moved into Gemini for the next seven years — a transit that rules communication. And instead of fighting it, I saw it as an energetic upgrade. Now my voice is back and stronger than ever.
With all this fast-moving energy, AI-generated content everywhere, and the media cycle is getting louder, faster, and more confusing, traditional writing advice is dying.
The old way of writing … working within a linear train of thought, long stretches of focus, a meticulous outline, and the ability to write for hours, isn't going to cut it.
The challenge is no longer about writing faster or harder — it's about staying connected to your body and soul while you think.
The writers who will thrive in this next era are not the most productive or the best at AI prompting — they're the most anchored.
When your nervous system is overwhelmed, everything feels urgent and fuzzy, and your voice gets buried. We're writing differently over here.
Discover:
Why the biggest challenge right now isn't writing, but staying connected to yourself, your body, and your soul while you think
Why forcing yourself to write more, faster, or using AI to write in your voice won't help
Five ways to write and think differently in the age of Uranus in Gemini
How to recognize the difference between regulated writing (intentional, calm, flowing) and reactive writing (rushing, restlessness, urgent, shallow breathing)
Why making time for quiet and stillness when nothing seems to be happening on the page is your edge right now
