A few weeks ago, I had a metaphorical punch in the chops.
Nothing earth-shattering, just a small thing. But it showed me two things in glorious technicolour:
- If I put out an apologetic vibe and keep shrinking myself, I will get sidelined and treated as lesser than I am because I’m “no trouble.”
- What I do for and with my clients isn’t just cool, it’s crucial. It’s important. It’s what I’m here for. And I am very, very good at it.
So I stood up and got serious about all sorts of things including but not limited to my core message (I help you turn your voice and mission into a movement via the medium of books), my offers, my website, a whole host of gubbins behind the scenes, and putting myself on stages and platforms where I can shift people’s perceptions about who they are and what they’re here to do.
I barely have words to express how exciting this feels and how different the conversations I’m already having are. The books that are coming out of the work I do with people are remarkable. Really, truly remarkable.
And Sophie Lee’s Beyond Palatable is one of them.
Sophie’s book officially launches in March with a big bash in London but a few days before that she’s running an online marathon called Unapologetic Voices.
Monday, March 2, 2026.
It’s free to attend, there are 35+ incredible speakers — I’m one of them — and I thoroughly recommend you sign up and bookmark the speakers you want to hear.
My talk closes out the day at 7pm and I’ll be speaking on how you can turn your mission into a movement, why books create a kind of magic digital marketing cannot touch, and how to start using your voice to create real change in the world and in your business.
Get your free ticket here and make sure you save 7-8pm and come and see me!

p.s. If you’re not ready for coaching yet, I wrote a whole book about this. It’s called How the hell do you write a book? and you can find it on my website.
