The Fruition Podcast

Nov 15 2023 • 1 hr 14 mins

Best-selling author and poet, Jennae Cecelia, takes us 'behind-the-scenes' of writing and self-publishing 12 inspiring poetry books. She shares what it took to overcome the self-doubt and fear of judgement that she felt in her senior year of college when she published her first book, Bright Minds Empty Souls, without even telling her creative writing teacher! We discuss the struggle of *not* receiving praise from her closest circle and publishers in the early days, which taught her the power of self-validation and self-belief. She shares the practices that built her confidence, how she finds motivation through impact, the logistics of self-publishing and even how she started selling books without a massive social media following. Tune in to hear how she continues to grow her business and improve her writing by vulnerably sharing her truths.
