Our lives are intertwined with others, and so when we begin to write we notice that often we are also sharing the stories of those who are near and dear to us. In this episode you’ll explore how you can do your story justice while still lovingly including those you’re most concerned about.

Then, we’ll uncover how your story is mean to support and shape the collective because people are waiting for you to finally claim and tell your story.

Hello my dear — I’m raquel

I may be a writing mentor, but I’ve been a writer much longer.

I’ve been writing since I was about 12 years old and I eventually followed my love of stories and words to three college degrees all culminating in a PhD in English. You would imagine that the path to those diplomas and degrees was wonderfully bright and happy.

Alas, it was not, I was often told my writing wasn’t good enough. I cultivated a strong growth mindset early on in my pursuit of writing because I wasn’t going to let anyone take away my love for the pen.

Now, I get to lend you these same mindset and energetic practices to support you in finally placing on the page what you’re meant to share with the collective. Let’s freakin’ do this, my dear. People are waiting to hear your stories!

  • "The excellent reflection questions helped me to uncover and challenge some beliefs that have been limiting me in creating and offering my course, and to connect with my capabilities to actually do those things! Raquel's skillful questions helped me consider things I hadn't even thought about, such as naming the new beliefs people will develop as an outcome of participating in my course in addition to new skills."
