Ever feel weird promoting yourself? This episode is for you

Hi there Reader, Do you feel totally comfortable promoting someone else’s work, but FREEZE when it comes to your own? Consider this to be your personal invitation to listen to the latest episode of The Talk Freelance To Me® Podcast. My guest for Episode 40 is Sandra Beckwith, a seasoned publicist, award-winning writer, and book marketing coach who has helped countless authors get their work into the world with more confidence and more sales. Sandy and I first connected earlier this year at the ASJA National Writers Conference in NYC. We were both speaking at the same time. She gave a presentation on passive income for writers while I was leading a session on podcasting. I was so bummed to miss her talk, but she was incredibly generous and shared her notes with me afterward. I’ve admired her work ever since. Sandy brings decades of experience in writing and publicity. She really understands the tension many of us feel when it comes to promoting our own work. In this episode, we talk about how to reframe self-promotion as service, and how to create income streams that don’t rely solely on clients or deadlines. Here's more of what we cover in our conversation:
This topic has come up again and again in The Expansion Circle, my small group mentoring program for freelancers. So many of us feel awkward taking up space, especially when we’re used to writing for clients, not ourselves. If that sounds like you, this episode will feel like a deep breath and a mindset reset.

Hi there Reader, My friend Austin Church's event, Growth Without Burnout Summit, officially kicked off this morning, and I have to say, it’s already bringing the kind of energy and value I wish I had earlier in my freelance journey. I’ve been listening to some of the sessions this morning, and the speakers are showing up with real insight and generosity. It’s also been incredibly uplifting just reading through the intros from other attendees. There’s something powerful about being in a...
