In this episode I open up about the belief I hold with every ounce of my being, that your inner world creates your outer world, no matter what you build out there. I share where I used to get stuck, seeking approval and validation because I had not built trust within myself, and how the last five years of conscious, constant relationship building with myself has changed everything. I get practical too, walking you through the toolkit I actually use, journaling, silent walks, candlelight, breathwork, water, to come back home to myself so I can hold whatever chapter comes next. Where stories come alive. Publishing - www.thedaringpress.com Bookshop - www.thedaringbookshop.com Writing -  https://www.instagram.com/jennallittle/ https://www.instagram.com/jennadaringauthor/

Something big has started and I had to bring you into it right away.I have begun writing The Authoress book. The non-fiction book that has been swirling around in me for what feels like forever, showing up in signs and conversations and quiet moments until I could not ignore her anymore. Yesterday I sat down and I started and everything shifted.In this episode I am sharing what opened up the moment I began writing her, how stepping into the character of the Authoress has already changed the way I move through my life and make decisions, and what it looks like to stop asking for permission and just go.I also read from the opening image of the book, and if you feel something when you hear it, that is her recognising you. Because she was always you.I would love for you to join me inside the Authoress Transmissions, a free channel on Instagram where I am dropping in as I write this book and sharing what comes through. Find it on my profile at Jenna L Little and come along for the unfolding.Here is the question I am sitting with, and I hope you will too.Where do you think you do not know, but you actually do?Where stories come alive. Publishing - www.thedaringpress.com Bookshop - www.thedaringbookshop.com Writing -  https://www.instagram.com/jennallittle/ https://www.instagram.com/jennadaringauthor/

This week my body stopped me in my tracks. A massive hip and nerve flare-up that had me barely able to walk, leaning on my partner, leaning on my family, completely surrendered. And in that stillness, something cracked open. This episode is what came through.I share what's been happening physically, a flare-up bigger than anything I've experienced before, and why I don't think it's a coincidence. Our bodies are so smart. They will find a way to get our attention when we've been ignoring every other sign.I get honest about what I think my body has been trying to tell me. That I've been tapping in and out. Doing things for everyone else. Playing small in the exact areas where I have the biggest vision.And then I go there. The fear. The stepping in, stepping out, stepping in, stepping out. The moment I see no results and I pull myself back into hiding. I've been waiting for someone to approve me before I fully show up, and this pain portal brought me face to face with that.The lesson that came through is the one I'm taking with me from here: I give myself the approval. I stop waiting. I put out my art, my words, my magic, and I trust that the people who need it are already there, even if they never hit like.Your body knows. When it forces you to stop, stop and listen. Playing small isn't safe. It costs you more than being seen ever will. The results are not in the likes or the comments. You don't know who your words are reaching or what they're changing. You don't need permission. Give yourself the approval and move."I just wanna create art. I wanna be in my magic. And not be sitting there waiting for somebody to approve it."Where are you playing small right now? Where do you already know what you want but you keep stepping back every time it gets scary? Sit with that this week. That's where your next move lives.Where stories come alive. Publishing - www.thedaringpress.com Bookshop - www.thedaringbookshop.com Writing -  https://www.instagram.com/jennallittle/ https://www.instagram.com/jennadaringauthor/

I haven't written in my fiction book for over a month. And honestly? I'm not spiralling about it anymore. In this episode I'm sharing what I've been doing instead, and why I think it might be the most important thing I could do for my writing right now.I get real about the slump and why this time feels different. Old me would have been forcing it, panicking, making it mean something. This time I stepped back and got curious instead.I tell the full story of how a true crime show sent me down a Facebook Marketplace rabbit hole and into a stranger's house to find the most beautiful yellow vintage typewriter. It became something deeper than I expected, a return to the kind of writing I started with as a teenager, when putting words down on a page genuinely saved my life.I also share how I finally caved and bought the iPad I've been eyeing for years, and how jumping into Procreate and digital art has reignited something in me I didn't realise had gone a little quiet.The big message underneath all of it is this: if your book isn't flowing, go make something else. Anything else. Let your creativity breathe in a different direction and watch what happens when you come back.Key TakeawaysStepping away isn't giving up. Sometimes it's exactly what the work needs. Creativity feeds creativity, whatever form it takes. The path back to your book might run through a paintbrush, a colouring book, or a typewriter with no backspace."If you're feeling really blocked, try something new. Get your creativity online in some other form, and that will open the floodgates."What's one creative thing you could do this week that has nothing to do with your manuscript? Do that.
