You're not too late!
If you think you're lazy for not finishing already, Lara’s low pressure approach will pull you out of the spiraling thought processes that keep you stuck.
Lara is a master of the relaxed deep dive. In this talk, she drops tons of tips and mindset gems to help you finish your first draft.
Expecting it to be perfect.
Expecting it to get it all at once..
Expecting to have it all figured out…sets us up with unrealistic ideals & goals. Then we use the resistance as proof we aren’t meant to do it.
Get over the idea that a book is formal.
It's a conversation. Tell stories.
-Lara
Lara talks about the slow burn and small weekly actions that respect our natural pace and the organic unfolding of what the book is meant to be.
This is what writing your book - without the pressure- looks like.

Hi friends,
I don’t think there’s anything cooler than books. And being a writer.
I’m an old school bibliophile. There’s nothing I enjoy more than reading books, talking about books and writing books. I secretly believe I am the recent incarnation from the Library of Alexandria because I’ve got a sacred duty ingrained in me to collect the best books in the world. My personal bookshelf is a collection of what I believe is the most important knowledge we’ve put together in book form so far whether it comes in fiction (The Lord of the Rings, Pride and Prejudice, Gilgamesh and The Dune series) or herbal remedies, neurolinguistic programming, love spells, Buddhist philosophy, Sufi poetry, or Wayne Dyer/ Louise Hay.
I’m not into digital or audio books- I want hard copies I can hold in my hand. I’m ready for everything to go off line although I hope it never does.
I’ve been a writer since I made my first book in kindergarten about a witch and her cats (two topics that still fascinate me) and have since taught creative writing and copywriting (what a combo!) in the outdoors in rural Argentina, to polo players and tennis pros in S. Florida, and to online coaches writing the ads (and full length books) that get their message out there and change lives around the world.
Darlene Turriff and I started The Authors Collaborative a few years ago to turn the lonely art of writing and self-publishing a book into a cooperative activity with all the inspiration, guidance, and friendship we writers need to stay motivated and write amazing books we’re proud of.
I am an internationally bestselling award winning author of 7 books, ghostwriter, copy editor and co-founder of the Authors Collaborative writer’s community.
I love helping coaches, speakers and thought leaders take it up a notch energetically & financially by writing a book. I have helped over 100 coaches write a professional book and I can help you too.
I have cracked the code on the creative process so that you can successfully create the impact you always wanted.
The secret is to just get started.
For now, let’s talk about writing the books that change the world.
