In this episode of the Thriving Authors Podcast, I’m excited to feature my interview with author and coach Andrea Liebross from her talk, Build Your Belief Plan & Write Your Book, during last year’s Thriving Authors Summit.If you’ve ever had doubts about writing a book and felt yourself holding back, I think this will really resonate.Andrea’s found that no matter how good your strategic plan is, it won't succeed without a Belief Plan to counteract your inner Frenemy. This Frenemy pretends to be your friend but holds you back by keeping you "safe." Andrea will show you how to shift from these limiting beliefs to liberating truths, empowering you to turn your vision of writing a book into reality.About Andrea: Andrea Liebross is a business and life coach specializing in working with unapologetically ambitious women entrepreneurs from a variety of industries. A speaker and host of the Time to Level Up podcast, Andrea guides her clients to combine Big Thinking with solid systems that work together to unleash their success and find the freedom of time, money, and energy they crave. She is excited about the release of her book She Thinks Big: The Female Entrepreneur’s Guide to Moving Past the Messy Middle and into the Extraordinary.

Episode 186: Interview with Kay Ross
In this episode of the Thriving Authors Podcast, I’m excited to share my conversation with author Kay Ross who has released books in multiple genres! Her contemporary romance A WORK IN PROGRESS came out earlier this year and her debut fantasy novel WHISPER was released in 2024.If you’re interested in writing in more than one genre, you'll be really inspired to hear about her journey adjusting to writing in different genres.She shares:Why it’s so important to protect why you write.The writing techniques she’s tried and her specific outlining process.How switching to write in a different genre felt like a palate cleanser.Advice for what to do when you get writing advice that distracts or depresses you.How writing fits into her daily life and what makes writing easier and more fun for her.I think you’ll really enjoy hearing about her inspiration and creative process!About the author: Kay loves stories so much that she can't just write in only one genre. You can find her fantasy works under the name Kay Ross, and her romance is under the name K.A. Ross. When she's not at work, she's finding new stories, discussing old stories, or writing her own. If she's ever not thinking about stories, she's either trying not to be too invested in sports or climbing up a mountain so she can run down it.
