What if your next right step feels completely out of character, yet completely right at the same time?

In this solo episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on a decision that’s surprised even me: exploring traditional publishing for my next book.

Yes, me — the die-hard self-publishing advocate. Yes, the same person who tells you not to wait for permission. Have I had a personality transplant? No. Although I have had a very long think.

• Why I’m querying agents for my next non-fiction book — and what I hope to learn from the process
• How I’m navigating the “this happens to other people, not me” narrative
• What it really means to listen to your gut, especially when it tells you something unexpected
• Why I’m choosing to document the entire process — warts, wins, rejections and all.
• How I’m creating space for curiosity, detachment and real talk around the traditional publishing journey

If you’ve ever wondered whether traditional publishing is your path, thought it was off-limits for “people like you”, or you’re just a bit nosy, this episode is for you.
