Hi, I'm Leslie McCaddon, a Certified Life Coach, young widow, caregiver of a disabled husband, former nonprofit executive and a published writer in TIME magazine, Scary Mommy, Her View From Home and elsewhere. I'm an alumna of The Community Writers and I've worked on how to write a novel under award winning and best selling authors. I know how hard it can feel to balance career, family, and...everything else. ​

​

But, feelings aren't facts. And I've learned that putting my dreams at the bottom of the list of priorities doesn't help anyone. 

 

So, I am here to help you:
 

• Understand what is really causing your overwhelm (and it isn't your job, kids, or your husband).

• Create a detailed strategy for taking back your joy and creativity.

• Help you improve your relationships with your family, co-workers, boss, and patients/clients, so you can work on your novel guilt free!

• Help you to work through imposter syndrome, overwhelm, and the fear of the unknown. I'll teach you why you already have everything you need to write your book.

• Give you a carpet-bag of writing tools and life coaching skills on how to coach yourself and resolve emotional triggers both for you--and your fictional characters!

​​​

Let's get you out of burnout and overwhelm and into creative flow.

​

I hold your hand and guide you through a structured approach, step by step instructions and customized, fun experiments to minimize your stress, maximize your resilience and strength, and create an overwhelm-proof process to writing a novel without sacrificing the needs of your patients, family, or YOU.
