How to Finally Write Your Book and Believe in Yourself with Kathryn Gordon
Episode 259
Tuesday, 28 April, 2026
If you’ve ever thought about writing a book—but felt stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start—this episode is for you. In this powerful conversation, Allison Walsh is joined by bestselling author, speaker, and founder of Gordon Publishing, Kathryn Gordon. Together, they unpack what truly holds people back from becoming authors—and why self-doubt, not lack of talent, is the biggest barrier. Kathryn shares her personal journey from supporting her husband’s global brand to stepping into her own “second act,” building a publishing company, and helping women bring their stories to life. She breaks down the three main publishing paths (traditional, hybrid, and self-publishing), what most first-time authors get wrong, and how you can realistically write and publish a book in as little as nine months. This episode also goes deeper than strategy. You’ll hear the emotional turning point that changed Kathryn’s life, how she transformed doubt into drive, and why your story matters more than you think. Whether you want to build authority, grow your business, or create meaningful impact, your book can become your most powerful asset. If there’s a book inside you—this is your sign to start.
