Are you a visionary entrepreneur with a powerful message burning inside you, but the thought of writing a "traditional" non-fiction book leaves you feeling uninspired? Do you dream of creating a book that’s not just a collection of information, but a deeply transformational experience – a book that truly connects with your readers, reflects your unique genius, and doesn't try to squeeze you into a rigid, soulless formula? If you're tired of generic advice and yearn to pour your heart and soul onto the page in a way that captivates and creates lasting impact, then this episode of The Lighthouse Sessions is an absolute must-watch.

Join your host, Jeff Borschowa, as he welcomes the incredible Yvonne DiVita, a seasoned book coach with a rare gift for helping authors unearth and articulate their most powerful, authentic stories. In this profound and energizing conversation, Yvonne dives deep into what it really takes to write, publish, and market a book that doesn’t just sit on a shelf, but actively changes lives – starting with your own. Forget the dry checklists and one-size-fits-all templates; this is about tapping into genuine authenticity, forging emotional resonance, and mastering the art of "story craft."

If you've ever felt that your unique way of seeing the world doesn't fit the standard "how-to" book model, or if you're struggling to translate your immense passion into words that truly move your audience, Yvonne's insights will feel like a guiding light.

In this episode, you’ll discover how to:

  • Move far beyond "PowerPoint slide" content and learn the transformative power of "bleeding on the page" with courageous vulnerability.
  • Craft compelling narratives that make your ideal readers feel profoundly seen, deeply understood, and finally "gotten."
  • Elevate your writing from merely "telling" a story to creating an immersive "story ballet" – an experience that engages your readers’ hearts and minds.
  • Understand why shifting your focus to the "why to" can unlock a much deeper level of connection and motivation than simply detailing the "how to."


Yvonne generously shares her decades of wisdom on:

  • The vital difference between a book that merely informs and one that genuinely transforms its reader.
  • How to pinpoint the stories within you that are yearning to be told and will resonate most powerfully with the audience you’re called to serve.
  • Why embracing your perceived flaws or "Kryptonite" can paradoxically become your greatest asset in building authentic connections.
  • Navigating the indie publishing landscape with confidence to produce a book of exceptional quality – from manuscript development and developmental editing to cover design, interior layout, and effective marketing strategies.
  • Cultivating the essential authorial mindset where your deepest allegiance is to your reader, ensuring your book serves its highest and most impactful purpose.


For you, the visionary entrepreneur, this episode is an absolute goldmine. You’ll learn not just the mechanics of writing a book, but how to birth a legacy piece that amplifies your unique message, builds an engaged community around your work, and empowers you to make the profound impact you were born to make – all while honoring your authentic voice and vision. It's time to stop trying to fit your expansive genius into a restrictive, pre-defined box. Instead, learn how to build the book around your genius.
