Some women go through battles nobody ever sees. They cry in silence, they faced their darkest moments alone, and slowly rebuilding themselves when life gives them every reason to give up. I felt broken emotionally and mentally for a long period of time...I´ve faced most of the time alone, rebuilding myself without needing anyone at all. I felt silence loneliness pain deeply and I still found a way on my own. I´ve learned to survive, to grow, to live without depending on anyone for a happiness. I don´t accept crumbs. I don´t accept backups. I cried alone, healed alone, I´m no longer afraid of losing. I know my worth, my true value, and I know exactly what I bring into any situation in life. No chasing, no settling, and I don´t need to explain myself, no need for validation. A strong woman isn´t someone who never need anyone. She´s someone who knows she can stand on her own while still making room for genuine love. If you’ve spent your life feeling like you’re 'not enough' unless you meet someone else's standards, this book is your way out. Unlock Your True Value isn’t just a guide, It’s a roadmap from the suffocating noise of judgment to the quiet strength of your own worth. Through my own journey from surviving to thriving, I’ll show you how to silence the noise and reclaim your power Take a read on my Kindle format https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FBH11YFM

So I’ve been thinking and I’d thought it would be a good idea to share our author accounts that we have on Amazon! If you don’t have one and you have published a book, take advantage and use it! It’s a great way to promote your books and you can do it for free!! 🆓 Have a lovely picture of yourself, a bio talking about your readers and then subtly mentioning your accomplishments and leave it with a CTA. Ask them to follow you. That way when you write and get that next book published, they’ll get to learn about it! Share away below! 👇 If you don’t have one yet, start creating it! All you need is a published book. 📕

Have you ever started writing a scene and halfway through wondered, "Where am I actually going with this?" It happens! Sometimes we have a great idea for a scene, but we're not sure how it fits into the bigger story. So, let me share something with you. This is something I use when guiding writers through their manuscripts. 📚 Ask yourself three questions: 🌿 What happens? 🌿 What is happening internally? 🌿 What changes? That last question is especially important. 💥 Remember a scene isn't just about what your character does. It's also about what they're experiencing and how that moment moves the story forward. You don't need to have every answer figured out before you start writing. ✍️ Sometimes you'll discover the answers AS you're writing! 🤩 Use these questions as a guide, not a set of rules. That’s WHY it’s important to have an outline as more like guidelines. 👉 Are you working on a scene or chapter right now? Which of these three questions would help you the most? Tell me in the comments! 😊

There are millions of self-help books, blueprints, and cookie-cutter success formulas in the world. They all try to sell us the exact same mold. But honestly? Trash that. Here is a truth that changes everything: God never repeats His stories. Every single plot twist in your life, every tear, every unexpected victory, and your exact perspective—none of it is a copy. Your story wasn't built on an assembly line. In my opinion, it´s a masterpiece, written with divine intention. When we try to force our lives into someone else’s formula, we are trying to rewrite God’s original design. Your story is uniquely yours. And that´s exactly where your power hides. Pause and think about this for a second. What´s one chapter in your life where you can look back and say, "Yes, that was entirely my God-given story"? Drop a comment below—let’s celebrate how beautifully unique every single one of us is! 👇 I had recent conversation with someone on the Zoom call- he told me "but Matea, you know..there are many self help books.." but no one told him this profound truth: God created my story unique and his story unique, and other people are NOT copy-but UNIQUE instead.
