In this episode of Alignment First, I sit down with Keira Brinton — the People’s Publisher and founder of JOA Publishing — to explore what it really means to stop refusing your muse. We dive into channeling your gifts, the power of surrender, and what it takes to go from $5K to millions as a single mother of five and break down real, actionable ways to become the fittest leader possible through peace, power, and presence.
Key Takeaways
- Your gift may look like a curse before it looks like a calling. Lean in anyway.
- Books are received, not written. Stop creating from your own understanding; ask for something new.
- Surrender isn’t poetic. It’s practical and it requires you to burn the ships.
- Evidence is the antidote to self-doubt. Your actions either match your vision or they don’t.
- Dark moments always leave. Anchor to that truth and you can tolerate anything long enough to win.
