Are you dreaming of writing a book? However, you are afraid of what others may think or say about what it is you have to offer the world? You are not alone if you have or are experiencing any of these negative self-talk narratives such as:
“my story is just like everyone else”
“what I have to say is not that important”
“no one will want to read my book”
“what will people say and think”
“can my book really help anyone”
