About this listen

What if your writing block isn't about discipline, confidence, or follow-through—but timing?

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.
