Hi everyone! My name is Anna, Founder of SolJoy, helping high performing underrepresented leaders avoid burnout to embody peace, joy, and vitality through somatic mindfulness and wellness training. I plan on writing a non fiction book after completing my current spiritual memoir "Finding Peace in Chaos: Soul Strength in an Ego Driven World". I've published a chapter in book The Healthy CEO that became an international bestseller--but don't feel like it was real or my own. I love all things music, meditation, mindfulness, movement, and martial arts related and am I Black Belt in Taekwondo and Qigong Energy Master. I live outside of Seattle, WA and look forward to contributing to this community in anyway I can. I'm excited to have a group of authors to help support one another as it's been a struggle to write my goal of 2 hours/day--even with a deadline and book coach! I'm curious, what are people's writing routines to write consistently?

Published in 2020- Check it out https://literarytitan.com/2025/06/02/how-change-really-happens/ Sierra Melcher’s How Change Really Happens is part guidebook, part heart-to-heart open discussion, offering readers a warm and honest exploration of personal transformation. Framed around metaphors from nature—trees, butterflies, and lotus flowers—it walks the reader through both the emotional and practical aspects of change. The book is structured in two parts: the first dispels common myths about transformation, and the second offers a “tool belt” of strategies to help you move through life’s messier moments with more grace, awareness, and intention. It’s clear this book was written by someone who not only teaches these lessons but lives them. I found Melcher’s writing style incredibly approachable. She doesn’t lecture—she chats. Reading this book felt like talking to a wise friend who isn’t afraid to laugh at life’s chaos while still taking your growth seriously. There’s a deep tenderness in how she shares her own stumbles and breakthroughs. I appreciated that vulnerability. And she doesn’t pretend to be a flawless guru either. She reminds you constantly: you’re the expert on your own life. That humility made the whole thing feel more real. The idea of “micro-shifts”—tiny, consistent actions—was a standout for me. It took the overwhelming bigness out of “transformation” and made the process seem manageable. The book leans heavily into metaphors, and many of them were beautiful. The butterfly one, for instance, is familiar territory in self-help, but Melcher does offer a more nuanced view of it. Her insights about the fear of change, the pushback from others, and the need to sit in discomfort instead of forcing outcomes felt deeply relevant. She doesn’t sugarcoat things. Change is hard. Messy. Sometimes lonely. But she makes you feel okay about that. Like you’re not broken for struggling. I’d recommend this book to anyone standing at the edge of something new—whether that’s a life transition, a career shift, or an internal reckoning. It’s especially good for folks who are burned out on the hustle culture and looking for a gentler, more sustainable way to grow. If you’ve ever felt stuck but unsure why, or if the idea of transformation feels too big to tackle, this book will meet you exactly where you are and gently nudge you forward.
