Perfectionists, this one is for you. You'll love hearing how Cristy overcame being a perfectionist as a writer. I find this particularly interesting, given her background in clinical research. She's definitely playing in a whole new world now with somatic practices and astrology. Cristy had a daily blogging practice at one point — helping her write and publish quickly — an excellent way to put your writing out there over and over. I think you'll also love hearing about her writing rituals — from setting a Pomodoro timer (so good for focus and getting through resistance), writing teas, and queuing up a particular playlist when it's time to write. What you'll discover in this episode: Cristy's journey from clinical research to writing, teaching, and publishing. The inspiration behind her book, Unleash, Unlearn, and Enliven: Seven Micro-Practices to Engage Your Somatic Wisdom. Writing is a lifelong pursuit and a form of self-discovery. The benefits of setting writing rituals, and you'll hear about Cristy's "writing tea" and a dedicated playlist. How you can use the Pomodoro timer for writing productivity. The importance of separating writing from editing and letting the words "sit" before revising. Fun ways you can use astrology to make sense of your personal cycles — Cristy has a Gemini Sun, Pisces Rising, and Aquarius Moon.
