Here’s what I made last year and this year (so far)…
Read moreOn Friday the 13th of October, something totally amazing and unexpected happened: my book F*ck the How landed at #1 on Amazon!!
This is something I’ve wanted since the book came out two years ago.
And while it has sold very well and still does, it never hit number one before. It never even came close.
And then on Friday the 13th–BOOM!! Number one!!
Read moreI had my first multi-four-figure book royalty month and I DIDN’T EVEN NOTICE because I was so busy looking around and telling myself that it “wasn’t working.”
🤯🔥🎉📚👩🏻💻
At the beginning of this year, I had my first four-figure book royalty month. My books combined made me more than $1,000 in royalties.
And when that happened I decided two things:
1. My royalties would never be less than that ever again (and haven’t been—they’ve only grown!)
2. I was ready to make five figures per month in royalties
And that’s what I’ve been working on ever since. The first step of which was to have a multi-four-figure book royalty month.
Or so I thought.
Just from looking at the data, I could see that my book royalties were going up every month. So I figured it would naturally hit multi-four on its own eventually.
BUT… it turns out it wasn’t as easy or fast as I thought it would be.
I discovered I have A TON of unhelpful subconscious beliefs about myself, being an author, how much I’m capable of making from my books, etc. And those beliefs were energetically BLOCKING me from multi-four in royalties.
Which means it was also blocking five, multi-five, and beyond. 🤯
Like I said, I’ve been working on it—the mindset and inner stuff as well as taking the external actions that align. But I had also started doing something, unconsciously, that I didn’t catch myself doing until today when it smacked me in the face.
Up until a couple of years ago, when someone asked me what I did, I would tell them I was a writer and a life/book/manifestation coach (whichever applied at the time).
I never told them I was an author.
I don’t think I really even saw myself as one. Even though I had more than a dozen books published at that time.
I had so many old BS limiting beliefs about what it meant to be an author, especially a self-published one. And the noise in my head was louder than my truth.
Until I decided to claim that truth for real—that I am an author, and had been since I wrote my first book when I was 13 years old. I may not have become a published author until I was 26, but I have technically been an author for most of my life.
Yet I never fully claimed it until a couple of years ago. Before then, I wasn’t really acting like the author I knew I was either.

I was shocked!!
I self-published my first book in March 2010 as a PDF on my website. I didn’t even know you could sell books on Amazon at that point. I was just doing what I knew to do, how I knew to do it at the time.
In December 2012, I re-published those two books on Amazon, and I’ve added 14 books since then (with 2 more coming this year!).
I’ve never had an agent. I’ve never had a publisher.
I am truly a self-made author.
