About this episode
Hallee Dunsky joins Sheri Zevenbergen to discuss finding your voice, embracing uniqueness, and the importance of starting creative work without waiting for the perfect moment.
What if the thing you’re trying so hard to tone down is actually the thing that makes your work resonate? I’m joined by Hallee Dunsky, self proclaimed “writer for weirdos,” for a conversation about finding your voice and letting what makes you different work for you. A discussion about voice, energy, self-permission, and why waiting until “the kids are older” makes little sense. Hallee shares her non-linear journey from teaching to freelance writing, the difference between copywriting and content writing, and why so many meaningful messages fall flat on the page…even when they sound brilliant in our heads. We also talk about energy differences, honoring how we’re wired, letting go of perfection, and why consistency matters more than intensity when it comes to creative work. This episode is full of insight and plenty of relatable moments…from bathroom breaks in fifth grade classrooms to writing novels 200 words at a time. If you’ve ever struggled to explain what you do, worried about being “too much” or “not enough,” or felt like you needed permission before starting something, listen in. We Talk About: Why so many powerful ideas land flat once they hit the page The difference…
