Episode 1: What's a Book Doula, Anyway? 

What if writing a book was about more than just getting the words on the page?

In the first episode of Book Doula Diaries, Megs Thompson, The Book Doula™, introduces you to her unique approach for supporting writers & their stories from the inside out. We’re talking about what a Book Doula actually does, why the emotional side of writing matters just as much as the craft & what it really takes to bring the book inside you onto the page.

Episode 2: Once Upon A Time 

Every story has to start somewhere. But what if the beginning doesn’t have to be perfect?

In this episode of Book Doula Diaries, we’re talking about the art of beginning, the fear, perfectionism & overthinking that can keep a story trapped in your head instead of making its way onto the page.

Whether you’re writing your first sentence, starting again, or simply wondering where the hell to begin, consider this your permission slip to make it messy.

Because every story has a beginning. You just have to give yourself permission to find yours.

Episode 3: It's Not Writer's Block

What if you don’t actually have writer’s block?

What if the blank page is simply trying to tell you something?

In this episode of Book Doula Diaries, we’re getting curious about what might be hiding underneath the dreaded “writer’s block," fear, perfectionism, overwhelm, grief, self-doubt, resistance, or maybe even a story that isn’t quite ready to be told yet. Because sometimes writer’s block isn’t the problem. It’s the symptom.

Together, let’s stop fighting the block & start listening to what it’s trying to say.

Whether you’re writing your first sentence, starting again, or simply wondering where the hell to begin, consider this your permission slip to make it messy.

Episode 4: Becoming the Writer for Your Story

What if you didn't have to wait until you finished your book to call yourself a writer?

In this episode of Book Doula Diaries, Megs Thompson, The Book Doula™, talks about writer identity, self-trust, confidence & the permission so many of us are waiting for before we can say, “I am a writer.”

You don’t need to be published, confident, or “good enough” to claim the title. Megs explores how small acts of writing, keeping promises to yourself & protecting your creative time can help you trust your voice & take your story seriously.

Plus, a simple Book Doula practice that will help you explore what your writer self needs & what might change if you stopped waiting for permission.

Because you don't become a writer when you finish the book. You become one by writing.

Episode 5: The Comparison Trap

Ever looked at another writer’s book deal, word count, beautiful writing space, or Instagram success & suddenly wondered if you’re doing enough?

In this episode of Book Doula Diaries, Megs Thompson, The Book Doula™, dives into the comparison trap that can leave writers questioning their progress, their voice & whether their story even matters.

We’ll talk about finding your own writing voice, trusting your timeline, letting go of the pressure to be original or universally loved & why someone else’s success is never evidence of your inadequacy.

Plus, Megs shares a simple Book Doula practice to help you stop measuring your story against someone else’s & come back to the page, your voice & the story that is yours alone to tell.

Because your story doesn’t have to matter to everyone. It just has to be yours.
