Thank you for sharing this peek into your brain — it's fascinating to learn more about your craft. And Aliza and I loved sharing your thoughts on exercise, food, and your body with our readers, so a second thank you!
“it’s okay to pursue an activity simply for the opportunity to learn and grow.” That line - wow. There are always nuggets in your writing that are aha moments for me.
I’m guilty for asking the dreaded question 🙈 but I have to say it’s absolutely fascinating to hear just how much goes into writing these books that become the “must reads”. I had absolutely zero clue - and now know so much more and it makes reading even more pleasurable knowing the writer walked in the same shoes as their characters (over and over again!) until it was just right.
I definitely wasn't thinking of you when I wrote this! We have talked many times about embracing the process and where we are right now vs. where we aspire to be. And I feel the same way about your work as a Seer—I have no doubt you've spent hours honing your craft and when you've finished tending to the sick patients in your house, would love to read an overview of your toolbox.
I can relate. It’s frustrating not to finish. But it’s even more frustrating when you want to finish but keep prioritizing other things (guilty). So I’m doing the work!! 😄
For sure, there are lots of things in life fighting for your attention. And you got this! 💪 Ready and eager for your next podcast episode, whenever you get it done.
I loved reading about how you’ve adjusted your approach, Sophia. There’s a lot of wisdom here!
And I can so relate to your challenge responding to the dreaded, 100% well-meaning question “How’s your writing going?” I think I need to steal your scripted response for myself 😅

You're so welcome, Aja! Likewise to you—glad we had the chance to connect on a topic not related to careers, freelance writing, and B2B SaaS!
There's so much good food for thought here -- but that soup, oh wowwww. Yumm!
Thank you! It was a reminder of how much time and love goes into making a Vietnamese broth.

<3 I love that we can have these conversations with open and understanding! Truly value our friendship in this journey!

Please do! And maybe someday, I'll figure out a succinct answer for the second-worst question: "So, what's your book about?" 😅
*primal scream* 😱
