⚠️ If you only write when someone’s watching… you’re still a prisoner.

In this no-excuse episode of The Adventurous Author Podcast, we dismantle the silent addiction to praise—and show you how daily writing builds a self-regulation system so strong you’ll never need permission, motivation, or gold stars again.

🔥 Inside this episode:

✔️ How your brain builds internal accountability (and why it matters more than motivation)

✔️ The hidden cost of chasing validation as a writer

✔️ Why obedience > applause in your creative calling

✔️ A 15-minute challenge to detox from the praise loop

✔️ What Scripture says about approval, identity, and mastery

🎧 Listen now.

Keep the words rolling and the adventures unfolding,

Bonnie Jean
