## Resource

It is such a joy when I have the opportunity to connect with an author who’s words I’m bringing to life via the audiobook. And it’s even better when the content is values aligned for me AND I get to share the conversation with you! Unwritten by Emily Crookston is a no nonsense guide for business owners who know they have a book in them but can never manage to put aside the time to make it happen. And the audiobook, narrated by me, is out now, too. Whether you consider yourself a business owner with a framework to share or not, this episode will help you keep taking action - whatever your creative endeavor. So, put down your syllabi and grab your oracle cards—it’s Emily Crookston, the rebel ghostwriter with yogic energy and a cause. Unwritten rules, cold plunges, and that fearless leap from academia into the wild world of thought leadership. Overthinking gets the boot, intuition takes the wheel…  Whether you’re curious about ghostwriting, facing a creative crossroads, or wondering where human creativity fits in the age of AI, this conversation is for you. Emily shares candidly about ditching academia, facing imposter syndrome, and how yoga, cold plunges, and a sense of play helped her quiet her inner critic and finally leap into entrepreneurship.
