About this listen

What happens when you discover a power so profound at age 10 that it terrifies you into silence for two decades?

In this episode, I share a story about a fourth-grade writing assignment that made someone cry—and changed everything. It's about stumbling onto the ability to make people feel through words, then spending 20 years too scared to try again.

Why do we hide our creative powers? What does it cost us? And how do we finally stop?

This is about fear, perfectionism, the myths we tell ourselves about writing, and what it takes to step out of the shadows and start again—even when you're terrified.

Also: behind-the-scenes bloopers, because starting is always the hardest part.
