In the second part of my interview with Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action, host of the Substack newsletter "Playing with Fire", and author of the brand new book “Fired Up: How to Turn Your Spark into a Flame and Come Alive at Any Age”, we get into the mindset side of writing.

We covered:

- Reckoning with the enormity of needing to produce 60,000+ words for a book
- The "small miracle" or crystallizing a thought in a way you hadn't been able to articulate before
- How getting reiki helps her write
- Shifting out of perfectionism and into flow
- The huge difference in the lived experience between Gen X women and their mothers
- Taking aim at mom guilt
- The woo woo retreat that almost made her run for the door, but turned out to be a much-needed entryway to being playful
