Every story begins with a spark.

Some arrive quietly, unfolding over time. Others enter all at once, asking to be seen, heard, and expressed.

In this opening episode, you are invited to recognise the moment your story began calling you. The moment something within you stirred and knew there was more to be said.

So many stories remain unwritten, not because they are not powerful, but because fear, doubt, and inner resistance ask us to stay silent. This episode is your invitation to move beyond that silence.

Through Deepika’s own journey of almost not writing her first book, you will see what becomes possible when you choose to honour the call instead of ignore it.

This is where you stop waiting.

This is where you begin.

There are two types of writers out there. The ones you have had a long held idea in their heart that they know they know they want to write about but never started and those who while in the midst of a quiet moment an idea lands that they just can’t shake.

That is the spark.

Whether it's slow burning or pops out of nowhere, every writer has a moment where a story lands and wants to be told.

The spark awakens something within you and makes you want to take action.

Problem is as writers we don’t always act on it.

Instead your inner critic, or your inner hater as I like to call it, takes over planting seeds of doubt, making you over think, and questioning “am I qualified to do this.” All that inner hater spewing its crazy, makes you sit on an idea rather than take action. The hesitation takes hold and it wins. That brilliant idea stays just an idea.

Trust me, I know this all too well because this was me too. My debut book HUIM was almost never even written thanks to my inner hater. I was 40 years old and in the throws of a messy divorce when I started to write this book. And all my inner hater was saying to me was “What business did I have writing a book? ANd who the heck did I think would even want to read it? Why aren’t you focused on your job, your kid, building your new life? Don’t you have other more important things to do? Besides, aren’t you the woman who started and stopped countless writing projects and never finished?

I conquered my inner hater and all those thoughts and started writing and didn’t stop.

Writing and publishing bHello universe its me became the the path to a completely new life.

Now that I look back on it, I often wonder“what the heck took so long”

This is happening with all of our authors too. Once they start writing with us, start putting pen to paper and bringing their words to life, the only regret they have is they didn’t start sooner.

The thing stopping them from starting sooner, that was stoping me, and what may be stopping you was themselves. Their own identity, their own belief in themselves.

But they realized, what I realized, and what I want you to realize is that staying silent, not acting on your dreams and desires, costs you.

My whole life changed when I decided to bring my story to the world.

And guess, what yours can too.

So right here right now we are going to end the identity within you that says you shouldn’t write, you should for some better time, wait for the planets to align, and step into instead the full belief that not only should you write you should write now.

I want us to seal this in and believe it to be true with this mantra.

“I am an author. I am no longer thinking about it. I am becoming it.”

I want you to write it down, put it in on a post it on your desk, the bathroom mirror, write it down over and over again in your journal, say it to yourself on repeat in the shower or on a walk.

Let it sink in because your new identity starts now.
