Have you ever felt the burning desire to write, yet find yourself frozen by self-doubt and fear of rejection? This episode takes you on a deeply vulnerable journey into the heart of creative expression with book coach Lisa Tener, who brings her wealth of experience from helping hundreds of authors transform their writing blocks into flowing creativity.
Lisa opens by sharing her remarkable path from MIT graduate to published author and book coach, revealing how a personal health crisis led her to rediscover the healing power of writing. With over a dozen years teaching at Harvard Medical School's publishing course and multiple award-winning books to her name, Lisa brings both credibility and compassion to the creative process.
What unfolds is nothing short of magical as Lisa guides our host through a powerful visualization to connect with her creative muse. The process reveals how childhood messages about our abilities create lasting barriers to creative expression—barriers that can be gently dismantled through mindfulness and self-compassion. You'll witness firsthand how confronting the vulnerable parts of ourselves that fear criticism can lead to profound creative breakthroughs.
Beyond the emotional journey, this episode delivers practical wisdom for writers at every stage. Learn how to structure feedback requests from beta readers, recognize the difference between helpful editors and harmful critics, and understand why trying to please everyone ultimately dilutes your authentic voice. Lisa's insight that "great writing moves us emotionally—it's transformative, it's cathartic" redefines success beyond technical perfection.
Whether you're struggling with a book manuscript, seeking to unleash your creative potential, or simply curious about the intersection of mindfulness and creativity, this conversation offers both inspiration and actionable techniques. Connect with your own creative source through breathwork, visualization, and the courage to trust your unique voice. Your creative muse is waiting—are you ready to meet it?
