There is a conversation happening online right now around Dr. Cheyenne Bryant, credentials, public advice, and what responsibility looks like when someone is speaking from a place of authority. I don’t want us to focus on gossip. I want us to focus on the lesson. As authors, writers, coaches, speakers, and thought leaders, we have to understand that our words carry weight. When you write something publicly, publish it in a book, teach from a platform, or offer guidance that sounds psychological, medical, financial, spiritual, or legal, people may receive it as instruction. That means clarity matters. Credentials matter. Language matters. Disclaimers matter. Scope matters. A Boss Writer does not just ask, “Can I say this?” A Boss Writer also asks: Am I qualified to say this in this way?Could this be misunderstood as professional advice?Do I need to clarify my role, training, or limitations?Should I include a disclaimer in my book or content? Boss Writer Tip: If you are quoting, teaching, sharing advice, or writing about anything connected to mental health, trauma, healing, wellness, money, law, medicine, or psychology, and you are not licensed in that area, include a clear disclaimer. A disclaimer does not weaken your message. It protects your readers, your credibility, and your work. The lesson is this: Sometimes it is not just what we say.It is how we frame it, what authority we attach to it, and whether the reader understands the limits of what we are offering. Discussion:Where do you think authors should draw the line between sharing personal wisdom and offering professional advice? Comment your thoughts below.
