~Share something you are passionate about:

I am on a mission to spread the word that everyone has a story to share and the world needs their story as only they can tell it.

~What are some ways you are helping to bring this forward in the world?

My business is called Your Writing Mentor because I am simply the catalyst to bring your story out into the world. I am a writing coach, web content creator, developmental

editor, a ghostwriter and book strategist. I support reluctant writers to have compassion for their struggle and be inspired by the wisdom they have garnered from their life experiences.

~What are 1-3 tips you can give our reader today to help them step forward in their life powerfully?

I would hope that every person would recognize that they are Secret Artists with extraordinary talents and gifts. I also want them to feel empowered with the confidence that the choices they make everyday creates their unique story and to see their life as a work of art. From there, they can design their personal strategy to achieve their goals and live a life unleashed. Some practicals to get there?

1. Keep a journal - Develop your own personal writing practice and have regular

conversations with yourself on paper.

2. Follow your dreams. I believe it’s important to have goose bump dreams (a week in Paris by yourself) as well as little indulgent whispers (take a cup of tea outside for a 15-minute break) to live a life unleashed.

3. Life is one thing after another. Never doubt the power of synchronicity and embrace the power of all the life experiences that have brought you to exactly this moment in time the wisdom you have accumulated to cope with what you are asked to face at any given time.
