Writing as Alchemy
Honoring the Timing of your Creative Transmission
I always sensed this day would come,
When the words would rain down like a message from beyond,
Unapologetic and unstoppable.
The seed of my book Sell Your Brilliance was planted years ago, just a whisper from the soul, nudging me toward something I wasn’t yet ready to birth.
I kept tending to other projects, swept up in the rhythms of life and the illusion of urgency. Maybe you know that feeling too, the way something sacred can sit quietly on the shelf of your consciousness, waiting for you to catch up.
Only when my avoidance wore thin, and life cracked me open in ways I never expected, did the call return—clearer, louder, impossible to ignore.
When transformation is alive in the moment, there is no better time to reflect, integrate, and bring it through.
Now, I’m writing in rhythm, not from pressure, but a quiet devotion to the truth that’s lived inside me all along.
📖 Lessons That Became Chapters
As I began writing, I realized I was giving voice to the sacred evolution I had lived through. Every chapter wasn’t planned. It emerged through the moments I survived, alchemized, and finally understood.
Moments like:
Over-giving to prove I was worthy
Overworking in the name of “service”
Shrinking my voice while watching others take up space
These weren’t just memories. They were initiations—unseen, often painful rites of passage that shaped the essence of what I’m here to say.
I didn’t know then that my hardest lessons would become the very wisdom someone else might need later.
Maybe your story holds the same potential. What have you lived through that is quietly waiting to be witnessed on the page?
✍️ Reframing Stories
I recently came across
’’s book Brave the Page and found her insights on writing and sharing Genesis stories—those pivotal stories from our upbringing that shape us—important. She invites authors to reflect on a compelling question:“How would your understanding of the story change as you begin to restore yourself?”
She encourages us to explore the idea of coming from a place of empowerment: “I am not controlled by the narratives of my past. I am rewriting my future.”
This made me realize that it’s our responsibility to share our stories from a healed place. It’s in our best interest to approach a story in a way that highlights growth, rather than remaining stuck in the past.
The invitation is to think about how you can explore the multiple facets of your experiences, understanding how they have awakened you, not just traumatized you.
🌀 Sacred Preparation
As much as I once wished to birth this book sooner, I now understand:
There were reasons it waited.
There were things I had to live before I could teach them. And also:
I had to unlearn the belief that a book must take years to write or that it would be ‘hard.’
I had to relocate—to Santa Fe, where the land, the trees, the birds, and bees became the environment that supported me.
I had to find a process that worked for me: audio-dictating ideas and reconnecting to the creative joy I abandoned long ago.
Note: some transmissions wait until your field is clean enough to carry them without distortion.
✍️ What Writing Looks Like for Me (and What It Doesn’t Have to Be)
People often think writing a book means sitting down at a desk with a blank page and banging out 1,000 words a day. But for many of us—especially those whose creativity flows intuitively, our process looks nothing like that. For me it’s:
Letting go of outlines and letting memories surface in meditation.
Tracking themes that kept resurfacing with my clients and in my own healing.
Making art to unlock the creative energy before sitting down to write kept the process joyful.
“I stopped seeing writing as something I needed to ‘do’
and began seeing it as a space to digest, honor, and alchemize what I had lived through. In that shift, writing became an act of transformation, not discipline.”
🪞What This Might Mean for You
If you're holding back, wondering when it’ll be time to start that book, it’s not always because you are procrastinating.
Start by listening back to what your life has been whispering all along.
What have you lived through that changed you?
What story that you’ve buried you are finally ready to tell?
What messages keep returning, asking to be heard?
I love that you “warmed up” your creativity by making art before writing! I can’t wait to read your book.
