SELLEST OSAST
In this update episode of the Project Seed Money Podcast, Sharissa Bradley welcomes back Shamayne Olivia Kotfas to celebrate the successful launch of her book and workbook, Shoes That Fit Her Soul.
Shamayne gets raw and real about the "birthing process" of publishing—from navigating months of delays to the surprising wave of vulnerability and overwhelm that hit once the book was finally live. She shares how she "cried it out" to find her stride and describes the incredible feedback she's received from women of all ages. We also dive deep into her unique 8-step shoe framework for emotional healing and identity reclamation.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- How to handle the "anticlimactic" feeling of a book launch.
- The power of the "Better Together" community for authors.
- A breakdown of the "Shoes That Fit Her Soul" framework: from the "sole" of your values to the "stitching" of your journey.
- Why every woman's story is a unique contribution the world needs.
