Have you ever felt like writing just isn’t for you — maybe because someone once told you that you weren’t good enough? That your words didn’t measure up? In this deeply personal and inspiring episode of the Happy Publishing Podcast, bestselling author and publisher Erica Glessing explores how emotional scars from our past — especially from teachers or critics — can block our creative flow… and how to finally set your voice free.

Erica shares her own eighth-grade story: a paper returned bleeding with red marks that shut down her confidence for years. Yet one compassionate teacher later changed everything — by giving her permission to write only beginnings. That single act of kindness unlocked her lifelong love of writing and opened the door to a career that would eventually birth Happy Publishing, a company that has now published hundreds of transformational authors.

This episode isn’t just about healing your relationship with writing — it’s about reclaiming your power to communicate your message and make an impact. You’ll hear: ✨ How trauma or criticism from school can subconsciously block your creative expression. ✨ Why your message matters more than perfect grammar or structure. ✨ How books create lasting energy fields that reach readers exactly when they need your wisdom. ✨ The spiritual truth that messages often come through you, not from you — and your only job is to say yes.

Erica also reminds aspiring authors that in today’s digital world, there are countless ways to share your light — through books, blogs, YouTube, TikTok, or family conversations. But books have a unique kind of permanence. They’re searchable, savable, and timeless — a treasure that readers can open again and again, always finding the perfect passage at the perfect moment.

If you’ve ever whispered “maybe someday” about your book… this is your call to begin. Not perfectly — but beautifully, courageously, authentically.
