Becoming a First-Time Author with Nikki Groom

Nikki Groom reads from her book, A Power of Your Own: How to Awaken Your Potential, Experiment With Purpose, And Do Work That Matters.

The New Story Is was originally called Written, Spoken with Dave Ursillo, a podcast in which the written word came to life as the spoken word through the voices of the writers who wrote them.

Created and hosted by writer, author, and teacher of creative self-expression Dave Ursillo (DaveUrsillo.com, TheNewStory.Is), Written, Spoken was a creative experiment that blended mixed mediums to explore a new way of connecting with audiences.

The show's first two seasons remained archived and available for your listening enjoyment.

Season 2, Episode 9 of 'Written, Spoken' discusses Nikki's journey to first-time authorship as she prepares to publish her first book—a lifelong dream becoming real—and more, including:

How what we're avoiding the most often mirrors our strengths, talents, and unique giftsHow Nikki "backed her way into" writing her first book, and why starting before you're ready may be the best path for getting more accomplished in your life and careerWhy, according to Nikki, resentment is a good thing (because it reveals boundaries) and how self-love generates in community, not in isolation

Nikki is a messaging expert and a business, brand, and marketing strategist who is on a mission to help you amplify your impact and your income so you can create a life that is meaningful and fulfilling. Nikki is also the Host of the Movement Makers podcast and the Founder of The 100 Stories Worth Telling Project.
