Finding Words that Belong

Monday, April 6, 2026 • Duration 05:27

Welcome back to B is for Book Coach. Today, we’re making space for words that belong.

For the past several months, I’ve been working with the incredible Hussein al-Baiaty over at Rising Authors to get my new website up and running.

But the website was just the output. What we were really spending all that time on was what the website should contain.

Not should as in “supposed to.” Should as in “belongs.”

- The difference between checking the boxes and making it right- Creating the conditions for connection- Intentional vs incidental outcomes

Magenta Books & Stories that Take Up Space

Monday, March 23, 2026 • Duration 09:34

Welcome back to B is for Book Coach. Today, we’re making space for connection.

You and your experience are worth witnessing.

This is a true statement, no matter who you are or what your experience is.

You matter.

Your story matters.

Choosing to share any part of yourself—from ideas to lived experience to insights—is a generous gift that holds intrinsic value whether or not it creates a return.

And if you’re writing a Magenta Signature Connection book type, this belief is the cornerstone of your entire project.

- Meet the Spectrum

- Meet Magenta

- Creating the container for connection

- Audacious vulnerability

- Avoiding overshare

- Tips for Magenta authors

- Remembering why you're here

The Power of Noticing: An Author's View of His Final Project

Monday, March 2, 2026 • Duration 39:42

Welcome back to B is for Book Coach. Today, we’re making space for noticing.

Hear directly from my friend and author about the experience of writing his last book, with clips of a conversation recorded a month into post-publish territory—a month into borrowed time, according to the prognosis he’d been given, and only a few months before he passed away.

Before we go any further, I want you to know that it’s okay if this one’s too heavy to sit with. If for any reason you don’t want to continue on, I completely understand.

If you’re still with me, I’d like you to meet Will, author of The Power of Noticing.

The Ocean Workbook: Using the Table of Content

Monday, February 23, 2026 • Duration 09:06

Welcome back to a special edition of B is for Book Coach. In these episodes, I’m reading through pieces of You Don’t Get to the Ocean by Accident—the workbook version of the early work I do with all of my authors.

If you want to follow along or jump ahead, pocket-sized copies are available on Amazon, and every Substack subscriber gets a fillable PDF copy as well.

Today, we’re reading from: Using the Table of Content.

The Mess is Where the Magic Happens

Monday, February 16, 2026 • Duration 07:10

Welcome back to B is for Book Coach. Today, we’re making space for the mess.

Do you remember the old Reese’s candy campaign, “There’s no wrong way to eat a Reese’s”?

In retrospect, this was probably meant to counter KitKat’s “break me off a piece of that KitKat bar” methodology.

KitKat might not be my favorite candy, but their approach makes sense.

Simplicity is appealing.

So when I talk about simplified templates and processes and systems for writing (and I get a smidge of irritation in my voice), I don’t blame them either.

When you’re looking back and forth between the intricacy of a completed book and the mish-mash that is your concept-in-progress…well, it’s natural to want it all broken into pieces.

I’m just a “no wrong way to eat a Reese’s” kind of person.

- Becoming the candymaker

- Getting comfortable in the test kitchen

- Finding your own recipe for writing

Why Books Are Worth All...This

Monday, February 9, 2026 • Duration 10:00

Welcome back to B is for Book Coach. Today, we’re making space for the future.

In this month’s subscriber update, I said something that might need a bit more explanation.

I said that “community is the future of books.”

And I meant it.

- Why we're looking tot he future of books

- What I mean by community

- What books can actually create

- How to make that happen

The Evolution of Publishing (Isn't What You Think)

Tuesday, January 27, 2026 • Duration 11:24

Welcome back to B is for Book Coach. Today, we’re making space for publishing.

Humans have always told stories. From campfires to city centers, wherever someone would listen (and occasionally when no one would), someone else was ready to share.

This made written language a radical technology, allowing a single person to be heard far beyond and long after they spoke.

We carved, we scribed, and eventually we printed—finding ever faster and better mediums to carry our visions to the world.

For most of our millennia of storytelling, the story itself was our most valued technology. Myths and legends were passed down, verbally edited from telling to telling based on the listener’s reactions.

Writing changed the game.

- The evolution of publishing

- The devolving of storytelling value

- How we're taking it back

It's OK If 'It's Complicated'

Monday, January 12, 2026 • Duration 09:50

Welcome back to B is for Book Coach. Today, we’re making space for weirdness.

Raise your hand if you’ve heard yourself say any of the following things about your book:

I don’t know if it’s the RIGHT way to do it, but…there it is…

It’s a little bit of X and a little bit Y…

It’s complicated.

It’s complex.

It’s weird.

Can I tell you a secret? All the best books are.

- Why we're good with weird

- What it really takes to make the weird work

- A framework you can use

- A reminder you can keep

All or Nothing (and What's in Between)

Tuesday, January 6, 2026 • Duration 10:17

Welcome back to B is for Book Coach. Today, we’re making space for constraints.

We’ve been talking a lot about releasing external obligations, and for good reason. Especially now, at the start of the year, they’re loud, they’re pushy, and they’re often unrelated to what we actually want and need.

But I find that internal pressure is much more difficult to release.

- Unhelpful brain stories

- The Cynefin Framework

- Governing and enabling constraints

- How to emerge from the chaos

Thanks for creating this space with me today.

Whether or not you’re ready to dive into writing just yet, remember that the best authors show up fully, just as they are. That’s all it takes—and you’re already doing it.

Be sure to subscribe on Substack or wherever you listen to podcasts to catch every coaching moment to come. And when more of your book is ready to emerge, the space we made today will be here waiting for you.

And so will I.
