Ever wondered why self-help books haven't quite delivered the transformation they promised? Or why, despite consuming endless personal development content, you still find yourself searching for answers? This month’s guest is here to help.

Georgia Holleran enjoys exploring what life is all about and helping others do the same. With a background in the arts, education and research, she has spent over thirty years exploring the effectiveness of various self-development approaches. Georgia's conclusions of what actually works were published in her book The Last Self-Help Book You'll Ever Need.

Since its publication, Georgia spends her time supporting others to gain perspective and enjoy life as their own, authentic self. There are free resources always being added to on her website (link below) and she welcomes anyone to sign up to her monthly newsletter, or drop her a line.

During our fantastic conversation, we talk about:

• Why Georgia believes there's a "deception" in the self-help industry and what prompted her to write a book challenging it
• The fascinating triangle theory that explains why knowledge alone isn't enough for personal transformation
• How understanding your "inner parts" could be the key to breaking through personal blocks
• The story behind Georgia's intriguing concept of her "14 ladies" and how they've shaped her approach to self-development
• A powerful perspective on why writing isn't just about the end product, but about the transformation of the writer
• The surprising reason Georgia believes you need to understand yourself before you can help yourself

Georgia's refreshing take on personal development challenges conventional wisdom and offers a more nuanced approach to self-understanding. Our conversation offers some brilliant insights into why internal work matters more than external solutions.

I hope you enjoy listening.

The mid-book slump is real, and in this episode, I'm sharing my unfiltered truth about getting through it - both as a book coach and as someone currently slogging through those final 10,000 words myself.

• The truth about why your "perfect" writing routine is actually holding you back (and the ridiculously simple fix you're probably resisting)
• Why editing while writing is like checking your stats every 5 minutes during a launch - you'll drive yourself crazy and kill your momentum
• The genius pancake theory that will make you feel 100% better about your crappy first draft (trust me on this one)
• How being a book-writing hermit is killing your creativity (you need a life outside those chapters)
• The real reason you're stuck in the middle (and it's not because you suck at writing)

Getting through the mid-book slump isn't about working harder or becoming a different writer - it's about getting smart about how you show up for your book.

I hope you enjoy listening.
