📚 "You need to write the book because you want

📚 "You need to write the book because you want to—not for the algorithm, not for a book deal, not for a bestseller list. Just for you."⁠
⁠
This week on My Simplified Life, I sat down with Stephanie Hockersmith to talk about what really goes on behind the scenes of publishing—beyond the polished social media posts and dreamy launch parties.⁠
⁠
We’re pulling back the curtain on the emotional rollercoaster authors ride:⁠
✨ The pressure to sell⁠
✨ The overwhelm of promotion⁠
✨ The comparison trap⁠
✨ The doubt that creeps in when your book doesn’t “go viral”⁠
⁠
And still, we both agree on this truth: Your story is worth telling.⁠
Even if it only impacts one person.⁠
Even if it never hits a list.⁠
Even if it’s only for you.⁠
⁠
If you’ve ever wondered if your story matters, this episode is your sign to keep going.⁠
Write the book. Share the story.⁠
And remember, success isn’t measured in numbers—it’s in the lives you quietly change along the way. 💛⁠

I came across a quote today that hit me straight in the heart—because lately, I’ve been feeling it more than ever.⁠
⁠
There’s this tired narrative that women can’t collaborate, that we’re always in competition. I’ve heard it in corporate spaces, and even had a female boss who believed it.⁠
⁠
But here’s what I’ve learned: when you trust your gut and stay rooted in who you are, the right people start to show up.⁠
⁠
This year, those people have been women from all walks of life—friends, collaborators, and the powerful network that is PERSIST.⁠
⁠
The PERSISTERS don’t just show up. They lift each other. They recognize strengths and amplify them. They make space for everyone who wants to belong.⁠
⁠
If you haven’t found your hype people yet—keep looking. They’re out there. And when you do find them, they won’t just cheer you on. They’ll change your life.⁠

Every morning, I start my day with The Pivot Year

Every morning, I start my day with The Pivot Year by @briannawiest—and today’s message hit deep.

✨ “It takes a lot of courage not to numb yourself out... to be willing to hurt, to open up, to keep trying...” ✨

I feel this on so many levels. I’ve learned to expect disappointment from certain people—and even from strangers—and I’ve trained myself to shrug it off. But the truth is: I don’t have to. I’m allowed to feel the sting. I’m allowed to say, “That hurt,” and still keep showing up with an open heart.

Through this daily ritual and therapy, I’m learning that strength doesn’t come from numbing, it comes from feeling. From staying soft. From trusting that not everyone will let you down—and that it’s okay to keep putting yourself out there anyway.

I’m growing every day. And I’m proud of who I’m becoming. 🌱

✨ Ever wonder what happens after an author finis

✨ Ever wonder what happens after an author finishes a book? For Rosey Lee, it means listening—really listening—to readers, podcast hosts, and the conversations that follow. 💬📚 In this new episode of My Simplified Life, Rosey reveals how feedback from podcast interviews (yes, even from this show!) helped influence the way she approached character development in this book.⁠
⁠
We talk all about her newest release, A GARDIN WEDDING—a beautiful, feel-good novel filled with love, family, and depth—but what makes this convo extra special is Rosey’s transparency about what it’s like to write a sophomore book and how she's brought her alter ego into her books.⁠
⁠
She shares how comments from previous podcast episodes stuck with her, how she's using that feedback to evolve her characters, and how staying open to thoughtful critique is shaping her growth as a writer. ⁠
⁠
If you’re a reader who’s ever wondered if authors hear your thoughts… they do. And in Rosey’s case, she takes them to heart. ♥️⁠
⁠
🎧 Tune in to hear the full interview—it's heartfelt, inspiring, and a behind-the-scenes look at the storytelling process we rarely get to see. ⁠

Don’t forget: rest is resistance.

I started my morning with my friend Lauren and Jaxie, talking about everything we’re holding right now—ICE raids, a mayor being arrested, families losing access to healthcare, and so much more. We’re navigating all of this while also being present mothers, business owners, and advocates.

Then I played soccer mom for two games, did the laundry, cleaned the house—and now? We swim. We relax. We sit in the sun and let it hold us.

As I watch my kids laugh with their friends, I’m also holding the beauty of today: conversations with friends in other states, on the soccer sidelines, and right here in my backyard.

Yes, I’m talking about current events and the urgency of speaking up—but I’m also honoring deep connection and joy.

We are living in chaotic times. The exhaustion is real—and it’s by design. But resistance doesn’t mean burning out. It means staying awake and allowing yourself to feel joy.

You can do both. In fact, you must.

Motherhood isn’t just about packing lunches or doing laundry. It’s about shaping little humans into kind, capable, compassionate adults. 💪💗⁠
⁠
In this week’s episode of My Simplified Life, I’m getting real about what it means to truly mother—from the emotional labor to the everyday lessons we pass on without even realizing it. I'm sharing my own experiences as a mom and a stepmom and the very real lessons we teach our kids, even when we don't realize it. ⁠
⁠
Whether you're a biological mom, stepmom, or any kind of mom, this one’s for you. 💬✨⁠

✨ You don’t need to do it all. You don’t need to be perfect. And you definitely don’t need to copy what some influencer is doing online to feel “enough.”⁠
