When The Muse Won’t Stop Nudging You Until You Write What You’re Here To Say
Introducing The Writer's Calling, An Online Home For Mission-Driven Writers
If your muse is relentless, like mine, you know exactly what I’m talking about. Maybe you’ve scribbled poetry on the backs of receipts or filled journals nobody’s ever seen. Maybe you’re the kind of person who processes life by writing about it—grief, rage, joy, awakening—pen in hand, trying to make meaning of this wild, painful, luminous ride. Maybe there’s a book inside you whispering (or screaming) to be written.
You don’t have to prove anything to be called a writer. You already are one. Even if you’ve never published a single word. Even if all you’ve got is a secret Notes app full of late-night thoughts and tear-streaked voice memos to yourself. Even if you’re terrified.
The muse doesn’t care about credentials. The muse wants to play. She wants to kick open your door at 2am, smear lipstick on your mirror, howl through your fingertips, and make something raw and real and holy with you. She wants your truth—not your perfection. She wants to blow the whistle, and she doesn’t care about grammar.
Our new ongoing community of writers The Writer’s Calling was born from this deep truth: that writing isn’t just an art form. It’s a spiritual path, a healing practice, a revolutionary act of speaking truth to power, a lifeline for parts that have been silenced too long.
For many of us, writing is how we survive. It’s how we alchemize trauma into beauty. How we whisper “me too” into the dark. How we grieve what’s been lost, reclaim what was taken, and light the way for someone else who might be stumbling behind us.
And yet… writing can be lonely. Vulnerable. Overwhelming. We can be attacked by inner critics, woken up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night, and filled with self-doubt.
That’s why I created The Writer’s Calling—a sacred, trauma-informed space where writers of all backgrounds, experiences, and goals can gather in community. Twice a month, we meet together on Zoom to write together, share, cry, celebrate, be witnessed, and most importantly—remember that we’re not alone. Once a month, you’ll mastermind in a small group if you wish to participate that way.
This isn’t a typical writing class. It’s not a boot camp. There are no gold stars or red pens. This is a creative sanctuary, a gathering of soul-led scribes who feel the ache to turn pain into power, to transform private journals into public medicine, or to simply write privately to stay connected to the deepest truth inside them.
We dance. We breathe. We create curated playlists for your writing rituals. We invite guest authors and people from the publishing world to inspire you. We gather to celebrate, uplift one another, and give and receive only loving, positive, gushing feedback. We practice fierce compassion—for ourselves and each other.
Whether you’re working on a memoir, exploring Internal Family Systems through therapeutic writing, pouring your healing journey into a Substack, or just beginning to find your voice after years of silence—The Writer’s Calling is here to hold you.
Maybe you’re not here to write a bestseller. Maybe you’re here to write yourself free. Either way, if writing feels like a calling to you, welcome home.
You don’t need a plan. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You only need to listen for that quiet voice inside that says: This matters.
Your story matters.
Your truth matters.
You matter.
And if your muse is tugging at your sleeve, if your body starts tingling when you read this, if something inside you is whispering, “Yes”—then maybe, just maybe, this is the moment to say “yes” in return.
