S4; Ep. 11: Develop Resiliency and Write Your Book with Caroline de Posada

Who You Know

What if instead of seeing life’s setbacks as failures, you knew you were being trained for something much bigger?

In today’s podcast episode Caroline de Posada shares how she re-designed her life to honor her vocation as a writer. When the book she set out to write hit an unexpected roadblock, a series of synchronicities took place that paved the way a different story that would become her debut book “Looking Over the Edge,” an inspiring and uplifting journey about her family’s near-death experience that served as a lesson in overcoming adversity.

In this episode we discuss:

• Why attaching monetary value to your new creative endeavors could be a recipe for failure.
• How to stop making your creative work a low priority.
• How to develop trust in yourself when you face writer’s block.
• How to delay gratification and develop emotional resilience.
• How to take risks that pay off + prioritize your expenses based on your values.
• How the comparison trap can blind you from support available to you right now.
• How an unexpected family trip gave birth to Caroline’s debut book.
• Why life is always training you for something bigger
• Why surrender is necessary to create the work you were meant to do
