  • So confused

    This podcast uses so much jargon. What’s an “intuitive”? What’s a “high strategic”? I listened to four episodes and couldn’t follow what the host was saying because she uses so many terms without explaining them. It’s possible this podcast only makes sense after you’ve already learned the ideas elsewhere.

  • Finally a Podcast!

    I have been listening to/watching the QuitCast for years on YouTube. I’m so happy it’s finally available in podcast form for us audio junkies!

    I know there are tons of writing podcasts and advice for writers out there…but Becca and her team have a Strengths-based approach that literally no one else has or is doing for authors. This unique perspective has revolutionized my writing life, not only by teaching me to take advantage of the way in which I’m already “wired,” but by helping me integrat... more

  • Worth a listen!!

    Becca Syme, as well as the other coaches at Better-Faster Academy, have helped me in significant ways. They’ve changed how I think about literally everything, and I am finally having consistent writing routines thanks to their help in understanding my own brain/alignment. Becca isn’t like other coaches. She won’t teach you how to write to market or write 10k words/day. It’s about helping you understand YOUR writing styles, and embracing them. It’s definitely worth a listen.
