The Selfish Gift - Go public with your purpose

What does it take to "go public" with your life's work? The Selfish Gift podcast is a series of deep, personal conversations with authors and creators about how they made the leap from practitioner to public figure. Hosted by Wonderwell book publisher Maggie Langrick, the podcast also serves up the very best advice from publishing professionals, from editors and literary agents to publicists, brand strategists, and mindset coaches.

Each of us has a unique gift to offer humanity. When we boldly share it with the world, we expand into the grandest version of ourselves and come fully alive. Listen in to discover how to level up your life and make the world a better place through purposeful publishing.

How to Be Strong and Resilient—in Writing and in Life, with Lindsay Sealey, Author, Educator, Consultant, and Keynote Speaker

February 22, 2023 • Maggie Langrick • Season 2 • Episode 19

If you have a growing girl or a young woman in your life, you know the intense pressure she faces to be pretty, to be popular, to be perfect. And sometimes she may feel like her contentment is less important than living up to the expectations and images that she sees on social media. My guest today is dedicated to putting the power back in girls' hands and helping them to develop the skills and confidence that will set them up for a fulfilling life—skills that you can also apply to your own life as an author, a creative, and a human in this world. Lindsay Sealey is the CEO and founder of Bold New Girls and Brave New Boys. She's also the author of three books: Growing Strong Girls; Rooted, Resilient, and Ready; and Made for More. In this episode, you'll learn:

Why authenticity is the key not just to building strong relationships, but also to your success as an author.
Lindsay's strategies for author self-care: taking breaks, setting boundaries, and practicing mindfulness to maintain well-being.
How challenging experiences can cultivate resilience and adaptability. (This includes facing rejection from agents and publishers!)
Why building a strong support network is crucial for maintaining well-being and productivity. (Being part of a supportive writing community can help you get through that manuscript.)
How to stay focused on your passions and purpose for a more fulfilling, meaningful life.
