The Happy Publishing Podcast Episode #113 "Too Many Books, Too Little Time"

What if the book that’s been whispering to you isn’t just an idea… but a living energy asking to be born? In today’s episode of The Happy Publishing Podcast, Erica Glessing opens the door to the mysterious, exhilarating moment when a book wants to be written — and why so many aspiring authors talk themselves out of answering that creative call. From the crackling electricity of a brand-new idea to the paralyzing questions of ROI, worthiness, and “Will anyone care?”, Erica gently unpacks the emotional tug-of-war that every author faces. She shares stories from the writers she’s coached — including the woman with seven half-started books, and another who finally wrote her miracle-filled memoir after years of hiding her truth. Erica also reveals the soulful way books choose their authors, why certain topics arrive for multiple writers at once, and how creativity flows differently when led by intuition instead of fear. You’ll hear behind-the-scenes magic from her own journey with Happiness Quotations and her upcoming book The Magic of Horses, filled with stunning stories and imagery from the animal world. If you’ve been sitting on a manuscript, a miracle story, or a whisper of an idea that won’t leave you alone… this episode will invite you back into your natural creative flow. You’ll learn how to step out of your critical mind, listen to the timing of your soul, and finally say yes to the book that’s been waiting for you. Erica closes the episode with an encouraging message: your story is yours to tell — and someone out there needs it.

The Happy Publishing Podcast #112 "Introspection"

In this soul-stirring episode, Erica gets real about the messy, uncomfortable truth of introspection—the part of the writing journey that most people avoid, but every powerful author must face. She opens up about the raw vulnerability that comes with digging into your own motivations, your wounds, your desires, and your purpose. It’s not always pretty… but it is absolutely essential.   Free Gift Guide to Publishing! [https://www.happypublishing.online]   Erica shares how she almost walked away from podcasting and media entirely—until a surprising message from a galactic astrologer reminded her that helping others share their voice is part of her mission on this planet. This wake-up call shines a spotlight on a truth every would-be writer needs to hear: your message won’t reveal itself if you’re unwilling to sit with the uncomfortable parts of who you are. From divine book downloads to childhood roots in publishing and media, Erica explores why the creative spark comes more easily when you dare to look inward. She also reminds you that your lived experiences—every joy, every heartbreak, every moment you’d rather forget—are what make your story powerful and worth sharing. This episode is a fiery invitation to stop skimming the surface of your life and start listening to the deeper wisdom inside you. The world doesn’t need a polished mask. It needs your truth. And your light.
