About this episode

Valerie Cantella guides listeners on how to begin writing their stories and shares insights on moving from silence to authorship.

Are you feeling the desire to write a book and want more clarity on how to begin? My guest, Valerie Cantella, is here to guide you. Valerie Cantella is an author, award-winning communications strategist, and certified memoir and nonfiction book coach. She helps women make sense of the stories they’ve lived and find clarity around whether, why, and how to share them. Valerie shares that this isn’t about writing fast or writing perfectly. It’s about moving from silence to authorship. From circling the truth to entering it. From second-guessing every word to building something real.
