Facing Self-Doubt and Your Inner Mean Girl with Author Lizzy Cangro | Author Spotlight

One of the most terrifying parts of becoming an author is meeting your monsters. I've become friends with mine, like this guy right here. He's fear of judgment. He's not so scary once you get to know him, but he's been a real pain for me at times. Every author has monsters, and some even have an inner mean girl saying all kinds of cruel things to you. When you're about to launch your book, how do you handle these monsters and mean girls? Well, if you're wondering that today's Author Spotlight video with Lizzie Canrow is for you. Hey there. I'm Julie, the book broad of Book Launchers, your professional self publishing services firm. Today I'm really excited to shine the spotlight on Lizzie Cangrow. She's the author of this fabulous book right here. But I'll let her make her own introduction. Take it away, Lizzy. Hi there.

My name is Lizzy. I'm an expert nutritionist and wellness coach. And my new book, reclaim the revel, teaches you 12 rebellious acts to achieve unconditional love for your body.

So, Lizzie, tell me, did your inner mean girl come out in the process and what advice would you have for other authors facing their own monsters and mean girls?

Probably the most prominent time she came out was just coming up to the launch because my vulnerable book baby was about to go out into the world and I started to question whether or not I was doing the right thing. Until I realized that by putting myself out there, putting the book out there and my experiences, I was able to serve my clients, clients who had yet to find me and so many more people. And if I am able to just serve those people through being vulnerable and sharing my knowledge, expertise, and ultimately my story, then it's worth it. So I highly advise any authors going through this to think that through from that perspective, too.

I love that. Basically, Lizzie said to her, mean girl, this book isn't for you, it's for the reader. And I'm going to have an impact on them. So go away. All right, Lizzy. People have asked me to ask our authors what it's like to work with Book Launchers and what advice do you have for others who are thinking of working with us?

I feel so privileged to have worked with Book Launchers to produce Reclaim the Rebel. And that is because they are experts in what they do. They know exactly what should be done and when, and they do it to a rich, really high level. So I highly recommend when working with book Launchers to trust them, trust their expertise, and really just kind of like work with them in a collaborative effort to achieve the book of your dreams.

Thank you, Lizzy. You really have been wonderful to work with. Collaboration is our favorite thing. And you have been such a wonderful collaborator. Now, my personal favorite question is to find out what what the biggest surprise has been on your author journey. And I won't spoil this because you'll feel her delight when she answers. So, Lizzie, tell us what's been the best surprise so far?

Okay, so the best thing that's happened since launching my book is the reviews. For me, it all comes down to making a difference in the world. So seeing the reviews come in from readers really has been the best. Getting those five stars and seeing that people are being positively impacted by my book means the world.

Isn't her energy contagious? I'm feeling so much happier now and even more empowered. I'm sure other folks will be too. And you're probably wondering, how can I contact Lizzie? So please, Lizzie, let them know, oh.
