WCP221 Vulnerability

The Writing Coach Podcast with Rebecca L. Weber

Ever wonder what “vulnerability” feels like? Try telling people you’re about to shop your book proposal when you’re worried maybe no one will ever buy said proposal.

The proposal (or pitch, or post, or whatever it is) doesn’t actually make us vulnerable; neither does telling people about it. It’s the way we think about these things—and in this case specifically what you think other people might think.

Instead of avoiding the things that we really want to write/publish/promote, let’s plan for how we’ll talk to ourselves and create safety when we do take risks.

📚I’m organizing a podcast tour.

🎙️ I’d love to join you as a guest on one of your upcoming episodes if you’re a podcast host, a podcast producer, have a bestie with a podcast that would be a good fit, etc.

✉️ Email me at [e-mail] and tell me a bit about your show/your people so we can make it happen.
