What did you think of this episode?

Are emotions like jealousy and envy stealing your contentment in God’s plan?

As Christian writers and speakers, we are not immune to emotions gone wild. It’s time to embrace a more satisfying life.

Welcome to Your Best Writing Life, an extension of the Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference held in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of NC. I’m your host, Linda Goldfarb. Each week, I bring tips and strategies from writing and publishing industry experts to help you excel in your craft. I’m so glad you’re listening in. During this episode, you’ll learn how to deal with Jealousy, Envy, and impostor syndrome.

Say hello to my industry expert, Jane Daly. Jane is addicted to coffee, purple pens, and her husband, not necessarily in that order. A self-proclaimed introvert, she enjoys the solitude of riding shotgun in Rigsby, her 37-foot motor home. But when they pull into a new campground, her favorite thing is to make new friends and find hangouts featuring local musicians. Her fantasy involves writing lyrics for country music songs and listening to them on the radio. In the meantime, she’ll stick to writing novels and seeing as much of the country as possible.

Linda - Alright, let’s embrace some soul care today—Dealing with Jealousy, Envy, and Imposter Syndrome.

Why is jealousy so harmful to us as writers?

How does imposter syndrome keep us from God’s best?

What impact does the envy of other writers have on us?
