About this listen
In this episode, I'm inviting you to step out of the race you didn't consciously agree to and into kairos: the right time, the alive moment, the moment when your words actually want to emerge.
This is a conversation about writing that honors cycles, nervous systems, and lived wisdom — rather than forcing momentum that isn't ready just because the calendar says, "new year."
If January has you feeling behind, overthinking, or resistant, I invite you to try a different starting point.
In this episode, I explore:
-
Why "just be consistent" advice often backfires for intuitive writers
-
The difference between linear time (chronos) and opportune time (kairos)
-
How rushing your writing disconnects you from your real voice
-
Why some seasons are meant for listening, not publishing
-
What it means to treat your work as a living draft rather than a performance
This episode is especially for you if you're writing:
-
a book or long-form project that feels tender or alive
-
from experience, memory, or the other side of your transformation
-
toward a next chapter that hasn't fully named itself yet
You don't need a new resolution. You may just need to start at the right moment.
🎧 Listen now and let your writing meet you where you actually are.
