One of the Best Podcasts for Writers (And How to Publish A Book)

Hey girl! If you're a writer, you've probably spent countless days and nights tucked away in coffee shops with your MacBook and a vanilla latte. Or maybe that's just me... (There's just something about being hidden amongst total strangers that unlocks those creative juices and frees our mind from judgement, am I right?!). But getting from Point A (writing a book) to Point B (publishing) is a total beast to take on. If you don't know where to start, that is.

Hey girl! Would I actually be an author if I didn't pay a visit to local bookstores while on a trip? On my weekend adventure to L.A. last summer, I made it out to two bookstores (three if you count the UCLA bookstore, which is basically just like any other college store with a limited book selection) that are worth raving about: Book Monster & Book Soup. First off, in case you find it weird to associate L.A. with books, just know that reading and bookstores are very happening. Even in a place known for celebrity parties, Hollywood, and filmmaking.

Top 5 Books On Spirituality With Powerful Affirmations

Spirituality Books with Powerful Affirmations

Hey girl! We all have those moments filled with emotional turmoil. When life gets rough, it helps to put faith in your higher power (whatever that may mean to you), recite powerful affirmations that instill that faith, put in the hard work and effort, and let the universe work its magic. I've never considered myself to be religious, but my family grew up very spiritual. That basically meant, we didn't believe in abiding by the societal construct of going to church.
