Stop believing the lies keeping you stuck as a Christian author with Rose Ann Forte
Have you ever looked up at the end of a week and wondered why you still haven't made progress on your book, even though you really wanted to? Most authors blame busyness or lack of time, but my friend Rose Ann says something a little more honest and a whole lot more helpful.
Time isn't really the problem. Something is stealing it.
And until you figure out what that is, nothing else is going to change.
Today on the podcast, I'm joined by Rose Ann Forte, author of several books including Transformed by His Promises, a devotional that blends biblical wisdom with neuroscience to help people break free from the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that are getting in the way of the life God has called them to.
We talk about the two biggest categories of life-interfering behaviors she sees in writers, why imposter syndrome and shame can quietly shut down your calling before you ever get started, and a simple three-part acronym called LIE that she uses to help people recognize and interrupt the stories they're telling themselves.
