  It's Never Too Late to Tell Your Story with Beth Brookhart

  Sep 7, 202634 min

  Beth Brookhart spent her career as an agricultural journalist, writing facts, figures, and public policy. It wasn't until her career was winding down that she finally gave herself permission to write fiction. In this conversation, Beth talks about relearning the craft of storytelling in a room full of much younger writers, how a chaotic volunteer museum board became the real-life inspiration for her novel, and the long road through rejection before landing with her publisher, Sibylline Press, which publishes women over 50. Key Takeaways You can learn a new craft at any age. Beth took writing classes decades after her last English class and had to relearn the basics from scratch. Inspiration is often hiding in plain sight. Beth's novel grew out of personality clashes and chaos she witnessed while volunteering on a museum board. Real life needs exaggeration to work as fiction. Beth had to blow her real experiences up "fiftyfold" to make them land on the page. Traditional publishing without an agent is possible. Beth queried publishers directly after striking out with agents, and found a home with a publisher built for women writers over 50. Self-rejection is often the biggest barrier. Many women never finish or share their books, not because of an editor's rejection, but because they reject themselves first. Writing routines matter more than talent. Beth discovered she writes best in the early morning and built her process around that, not around what "should" work. Quotable Moments On self-doubt: it will never feel good enough, so at some point you have to decide the story is ready and let it go into the world. On rejection: get honest feedback from a professional, not friends or family, then be proud of what you've made. On starting later in life: your experiences are never wasted. Careers, volunteering, and raising a family all become material for the stories only you can tell.

  Write It Down Before It's Gone

  Aug 24, 202615 min

  Ngozi shares the story that shaped why she does this work: her grandfather, a chef whose recipes and stories died with him because he never wrote them down. She uses his story to make the case that legacy isn't about money or a name on a building. It's a recipe, a survival story, a marriage, the quieter things that only live in memory unless someone writes them down. She speaks directly to midlife women sitting on a story, a memoir idea, or a children's book concept, and makes the case that the story doesn't need to be dramatic to matter. It needs to be honest. Key Takeaways Legacy is often small and personal, not big and public. A recipe or a story can matter more than money or property. Memory fades and gets passed down secondhand until it barely resembles the truth. Writing it down is the only way to keep it real. A book doesn't need to be 300 pages or take five years. Even a short collection of stories or recipes can become a family's most treasured object. You don't need a dramatic story to write a powerful book. You need an honest one. The women most likely to sit on their story are the ones who assume it's "just their life," not a book. That instinct is worth questioning. Notable Quote "You have the chance my grandfather never had. You have the chance to write it down while you still can." I have a simple tool that gives you everything you need for your journey into publishing a book: https://stan.store/ngoziedema/p/your-first-book-starts-here Who This Episode Is For Midlife women who have a book, memoir, or story idea sitting in a notebook or a notes app, and who keep telling themselves it isn't unique or dramatic enough to be worth writing.

  Productivity during grief how i kept my business going after losing my dad

  Jul 27, 20267 min

  What do you do in a season of grief or other diffifult times? How I kept my business going after losing my dad. It is okay to just breathe, pause nonessentials and be human. What happens to your business when life completely falls apart? A few weeks ago I lost my dad. In this deeply personal video, I share what grief has taught me about productivity, running a business during difficult seasons, and why the 80/20 Principle became more than a business strategy, it became a survival strategy. If you're an entrepreneur, creator, writer, or anyone trying to keep moving while carrying a heavy heart, I hope this reminds you that you don't have to do everything. You'll learn: ✔ How I decided what work could wait ✔ Why I focused on just ONE social media platform ✔ How the 80/20 Rule helped me protect my energy ✔ Why slowing down isn't giving up ✔ How to keep making progress during grief, burnout, or overwhelming life seasons Whether you're grieving the loss of a loved one, caring for aging parents, raising children, or simply overwhelmed by life, this video is for you. Remember: Progress is still possible. One faithful step at a time. And before I finally say goodbye I am excited to tell you that my new book in the freddy adventure series is finally ready for you! Freddy and the Digital Forest is now available for preorder on Amazon! This story is close to my heart. It comes from my own struggles keeping my children safe online. The internet is fun.
