Do you always go above and beyond your job description?
If our self-worth is derived externally (through validation and achievements), it is all too easy to slip into the trap of overperforming at work in an effort to βearnβ our value.
Curious how to step out of that pattern and have a more balanced work life?

![The Roadmap to Writing & Publishing Your First Book with Joelle Hann - Terri Cole
Master the book writing process and how to write a book proposal with Joelle Hann. Discover the exact roadmap to finish your manuscript and get published in 2026.
Learn the exact book writing process I used to become a bestseller with my developmental editor, Joelle Hann. Stop guessing and discover how a professional book proposal acts as your roadmap to a finished manuscript.
Iβm going to be honest with you: writing a book is one of the hardest things Iβve ever done. There were moments during my second book where I was literally in tears, feeling like I couldnt cross the finish line. What saved me? Having a roadmap and the right person in my corner.
In this episode, Iβm sitting down with my personal developmental editor, Joelle Hann. Joelle has been the secret weapon behind my books (including Boundary Boss!) and has helped countless visionaries and leaders turn their big ideas into transformational books.
What youβll learn in this conversation:
πΈWhy not giving up is the only common denominator of successful authors.
πΈThe difference between a developmental editor and a copy editor (and why you need the former first).
πΈHow a book proposal acts as a business plan for your dream.
πΈWhy writing the shitty first draft is a necessary part of the growth process.
If youre working on a book and are ready to make it happen, apply to Book Proposal Academy [https://brooklynbookdoctor.com/bpa-tc-show/]. Joelle will personally take a closer look at your book idea and discuss your next best steps! The next cohort starts on April 17th.
