26. Writing and Publishing a Book with Chair Stylist, Designer, Artisan, Educator, Entreprenista, Wife, Mom, and Dog Mom – Wendy Conklin of Chair Whimsy
Wendy wants to fill our lives with happiness, joy, and whimsy. Her popular chair design and styling courses teach her unique approach to color, fabrics, and design, which shows us how creative expression can upgrade our joy. Her P.I.N.K. Creatives business retreat with Sara McDaniel of Simply Southern Cottage is helping creative entrepreneurs bring their visions to life.
In this episode of Courage Becomes Her, Wendy talks about taking a leap of faith to write and publish her book, Life Whimsy. She talks about why she decided to write a book, how she committed to the financial investment, the steps she took to actually get the book written, why she decided to self-publish, and how she is launching her book to the world. She also talks about her mental and emotional preparation, and how she doesn’t let fear or outside pressures keep her from moving forward. She talks about her intentionality of bringing joy and fun to every step of the book writing and publishing process.
Wendy is a lifelong Texas gal who is married with two adult daughters and a one-year-old Boston Terrier. She is a former educational consultant whose chair design courses sell by the thousands and whose P.I.N.K. Creatives business retreat sells out every time.
