Listen "52: Stop Racing Your Writing: Kairos and the Right Time to Write"
Episode Synopsis
What if your writing block isn't about discipline, confidence, or follow-through—but timing? In this episode, I'm inviting you to step out of the race you didn't consciously agree to and into kairos: the right time, the alive moment, the moment when your words actually want to emerge. This is a conversation about writing that honors cycles, nervous systems, and lived wisdom — rather than forcing momentum that isn't ready just because the calendar says, "new year." If January has you feeling behind, overthinking, or resistant, I invite you to try a different starting point. In this episode, I explore: Why "just be consistent" advice often backfires for intuitive writers The difference between linear time (chronos) and opportune time (kairos) How rushing your writing disconnects you from your real voice Why some seasons are meant for listening, not publishing What it means to treat your work as a living draft rather than a performance This episode is especially for you if you're writing: a book or long-form project that feels tender or alive from experience, memory, or the other side of your transformation toward a next chapter that hasn't fully named itself yet You don't need a new resolution. You may just need to start at the right moment. 🎧 Listen now and let your writing meet you where you actually are.
