About this episode
In this episode, Lauren Jo Home shares her unfiltered journey of writing a book amidst life's chaos and encourages listeners to start their own projects without waiting for the perfect moment.
In this episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes of how this book actually came to life — spoiler: it wasn't perfect, polished, or carefully planned. I didn't wait until I had everything figured out. I didn't go off on a writing retreat or hire a fancy team. I just started — messy, scared, and in the margins of everyday life. I carved out time between real estate deals, nap times, and client calls. I used Google, podcasts, and trial and error to figure out what came next. Some days I wrote two pages. Some days I wrote one sentence. But I kept going — even when it was uncomfortable, even when I doubted myself.
