How to Be Resilient AF
Hosted by Isabel Sterling, Author & Master Certified Life Coach
Being an author means opening yourself up to critique, rejection, and increased visibility.
You're still human, though.
Rejection still stings.
You don't need a "thicker skin" to handle this career.
You need to know how to feel disappointed without wanting to quit.
And that's what you'll learn to do at
How to Be Resilient AF
"Grow thicker skin" is bullshit advice.
Navigating rejections, bad reviews, and cancelled contracts isn't about never feeling bad...it's about being able to *process* the emotions that DO come up.
By the end of this workshop, you will:
-
Know exactly why the "grow thicker skin" advice doesn't work
-
Learn a simple process for noticing, naming, and moving through tough emotions
-
Normalize your emotional experience of publishing and let go of self-judgement
-
Leave with tangible tools for handling persistent emotions that keep you from writing
