Join Author Lindsay Gibson, sweet romance writer, nutritionist and an advocate for the magic of love in its most beautiful form - as she shares healthy eats, inspiration and how fictional feel-good romance can offer you a new avenue of inspiration and strength.
The brain and the heart constantly hold a challenge to keep their roles in our lives steady. Sometimes one can become more dominant than the other. Balance is key.
How does one build the confidence to listen to what their heart is telling them - whether that is a career, personal or relationship goal. We all have things we want to strive towards and become, but so many things hinder our progress...especially the head and our constant stream of thoughts that aren't always positive.
Listen in, as Lindsay goes through this important balance, how to build your confidence and just be.

Happy National Novel Writing Month! Since this is the month of gratitude, I couldn't be more thankful for the writing opportunities that have come into my life since signing with Harpeth Road Press. I am excited for this journey and want to share all that I can to support my fellow writers in this episode.
While I love reading and gathering avid readers to this show, my writers are who bring the stories right? So, let's dive into episode six where I discuss how I got started with writing...my own story...and how this has helped deepen me as a fiction writer today.
One of the biggest blocks for writers is fear and with that...battling our inner critic. I close out this episode going through how to rise above that inner critic wave that can crash down on us at any moment and shift your thinking to push ahead.

The holidays are once again upon us! And even though today, I'm able to feel the joy of this magical time - there was a time when I couldn't - and this can be the case for many of us.
So, for this episode, in honor of my sweet son Joseph, I will be pausing the happy endings and reaching my hand out to those who many be hurting or overly stressed right now.
I will get into how to handle these difficult thoughts and feelings, a couple books I recommend and why reading can help and of course - nutrients for the brain to help you cope. The nutritionist in me always has to jump in to help!

LEARN MORE! Now, back to this episode...let's talk some emotional truths. Everyday we're being led to more and more "truths" that really aren't our own. We are fed a constant stream of media mantras about our health and various other subjects that can stick in our minds without us realizing.
These turn into false beliefs and before we know it, we make choices and operate from these viewpoints and let's face it, marketing mantras from the media - creating fear. False beliefs can do all the way back to childhood too - even starting in the womb!
The past year has been a test of all of this - but when you step back, pause and really reflect what is being TOLD to you versus what YOU feel is right, then it's easier to understand and see how and why people make the choices they do.
Negative bias - while it's normal to automatically think this way - it's not something you have to always just live with. Let's dive into it with episode 13.
Health Talk: Toxins play a huge role in your physical and mental health. Fulvic Acid can help your body detoxify and therefore, fuel what your mind needs to help battle those negative thoughts too!

Let Judgements Go We do it in real life, we do it without realizing it and we can even do it while reading - we focus too much on what others think of us and how they make accomplishments and this blocks our own flow of love back to ourselves.
