This podcast is a goldmine for anyone who’s got a book in the back of their mind and soul that’s crying out to be written. It’s clear from the start that Maddison knows what she’s talking about; she’s not a theorist, she’s an epic practitioner! Her stories from the author trenches are full of incredible insights and hard-won lessons. This is such a special blend of coaching, teaching, discussion, and creative companionship.
