    Writing a book is often seen as a solitary journey, characterized by the rhythmic tapping of keys as ideas flow from mind to paper. However, the path to becoming an author can be fraught with internal struggles, often rooted in deeper emotional complexities. In this episode of Authors Who Lead, I discuss the profound impact that unresolved trauma can have on a writer's ability to create, emphasizing the importance of authenticity and emotional depth in writing.
