Meg Calvin shares her transformative journey from a life dedicated to ministry to becoming a writing and marketing coach. She discusses the spiritual guidance she received throughout her life, the challenges of transitioning from a religious to a more spiritual path, and the healing process from purity culture. Meg also emphasizes the importance of dreams and intuition in her personal and professional growth, illustrating how these elements have shaped her identity and work. In this conversation, Meg Calvin and I delve into the significance of birthmarks, the transition from traditional publishing to self-publishing, and the importance of author rights and royalties. Meg shares her journey as a writing and marketing coach, emphasizing the need for aspiring authors to recognize their unique stories and the impact they can have on others. The discussion also covers practical steps for writing a book, encouraging listeners to embrace their narratives and take action towards their writing goals. Formerly in the non-profit world as a minister to children and families in the mainline protestant church, Meg spent nearly 15 years studying how the brain works toward her aim of building, catalyzing and comforting strong volunteer teams. In seminary, she studied curriculum writing and pastoral care. It was during her time in this role that she began coaching fellow ministerial leaders in professional sustainability with the International Network of Children’s Ministry. She was blown away by how many ministers had limiting beliefs around self-care, their talents, relationships, money and ambition. She then stepped away from serving in the church, invested in marketing coaches for her own growth and began coaching Christian content creators in their marketing with BeADisciple.com for nearly three years while serving authors on the side. Now she and her team provide nonfiction and memoir writers with everything they need to write, market and sell a bestselling book on Kindle, paperback and Audible.
