YOU Are a Writer is a pre-recorded video course for writers who are struggling with severe procrastination and perfectionism issues. It is designed for writers who identify as intuitive, empathic, Highly Sensitive, and creative. It is a “right-brained” approach to dealing with severe levels of procrastination and perfectionism that draws on feminine energy, intuition, and the emotional side of life.
There are also a few people who this course is NOT for. This course is NOT for you if:
You have mild levels of procrastination and perfectionism and are looking for an organizational or time management system.
You are looking for a system that will push you to work faster and harder and achieve more.
You feel uncomfortable with emotions and energy work and prefer to work mostly with logic and rational analysis techniques.
You are completely uninterested in excavating any part of your past or exploring any part of your childhood wounding.
I talk more in the video below about why I developed this course, what it covers, and what to expect from it:
