Keep Your Eye On the Path, Not the Potential Obstacles

Unleash Your Voice to Spark a Transformation

Why do I use the word unleash? Because rarely do we actually say exactly what’s on our minds, unleashing the power within us to make the kind of impact we’re capable of.  For example, my client, Dyanne Kelley, encountered the cultural and professional dimming of her voice. As kids, we often get the message that […]

Find Joy In Writing With the Four C’s

When I first discovered my gratitude practice, I was finding joy in writing because it felt good to talk about the things that were working for me. I was experimenting with new habits after I discovered how profound a simple gratitude practice was for me. I thought, Well, if that little habit, twice a day, […]

The Manuscript

As a book coach, this is a huge moment for me. It’s a proud moment because Megan Dougherty has gotten to the point where her manuscript is complete. So I’m going to take a moment to celebrate that and I’m going to encourage Megan and any new author to do that, to take time to […]

The Beginning and The End

I wonder, as a reader, if you’ve ever thought about what’s important about starting and ending a book. Is there a method? Is there some standard way to do it? Some best practices? Well, of course, I have some ideas as a book coach, but you as the author always get to decide that. Today […]

Welcome back to Unleash Your Inner Author. In this episode, I’m excited to talk about one of my favorite topics—storytelling. Megan Dougherty comes to this session wondering about using examples or stories in her chapters. Is it even necessary? She asked the question. My answer is, as you can probably guess, absolutely yes. But why? […]

The Valley of Despair

As a coach, it’s not my favorite thing to talk about the valley of despair—but I do because it’s something I see almost every person that I work with go through. You know what this is. It’s when you’re excited about something and then the work begins and you start working and you start working […]

The Breakthrough

There’s a myth out there that people should just be able to sit their butts in a chair and write a book—just pour it out of your head onto the page and you’ll have a book eventually. Well, if only that were true, more of us would be published authors. However, what I find is […]

The Kickoff

Do you want to write a book, but you just don’t know where to start? Well, you’re not alone—that’s where most people start. I’m Amy Collette, founder of Unleash Your Inner Author. I love to help people get that story, that transformation that they’ve been carrying around in their heads, onto the page of their […]
