Do you want to write your story but you . . .
- –Feel like you don’t have a story worth telling?
- –Lost your voice along the way?
- –Think there are many stories out there like yours already?
- –Imagine what your husband, your lover, business associate, or children . . . would think if they ever read your book?
- –Even if you are an entrepreneur with something completely unique and valuable to offer, do you have your own list of reasons why it may not work for you?
We all have fears around writing our stories, and if we don’t acknowledge that our life is the most important one of all and that the stories we want to tell are worthy, then what justice do we do for our creative and career enhancing pursuits?
The intention is that once you learn all the reasons why you CAN write your book, you’ll be saying an absolute YES to joining a group of committed upcoming authors in my Your Life Matters! Author Mentorship Program.
Why am I so confident about that? Because of the fantastic results that people like you, who have felt trepidation, have received. Testimonials are below — read on!

When booking your complimentary conversation, you’ll see some questions to answer in my calendar. Answer them as thoroughly and honestly as possible and take some time to feel into your responses.

WHAT WE'LL COVER EACH WEEK
MEET & GREET
LESSON 1
Welcome to Your New Book-Writing Community!
This is your introduction and overview for the 11-week Your Life Matters Author Mentorship Program.
You Will Learn to:
- Come to know that you’ve arrived at the right place at the right time, answering the call of your heart.
- Fully relax into knowing why our paths have intersected exactly at this time, as we shake hands and agree to walk this sacred path together.
- Dig deeper into your WHY for writing your book. Gain access to your deepest clarity and truth so that you can move forward with confidence.
- Discover the joy of working together with others (your co-hearts) who are writing their books in a non-judgemental, safe, and supportive environment at the same time as you and with you. You will be seen, heard, acknowledged for who you are, and have the opportunity to do the same for others.
LESSON 2
Structure and Organization
You Will:
- Be given the practical organizational tools you need to begin writing your book. From creating a sacred writing space, scheduling writing times, how to stay motivated, when to use pen, and when to use a keyboard.
LESSON 3
You Will Learn to:
- Move from self-doubt, procrastination paralysis — “I’m scared” — to loving yourself into action.
- Identify your favourite fears and saboteurs of the past and replace them with the healing powers of intention, courage, and commitment towards breaking free of self-defeating traps.
- Find excitement in the stories you wish to write and explore the idea of using your book as a calling card for talks and workshops that you’ll be delivering.
- Identify the target audience for your written content. Readers that will benefit greatly from what you’ve learned through the course of your life. This especially applies to you if you are an entrepreneur running your own business.
- Leave a legacy for your family, if the main purpose of your book is writing your memoir. Your family will come to know even more about you as you discover your deepest, truest authentic voice, and in reading the stories about you that they may never have known!
LESSON 4
Unabashed, Unashamed, Unapologetic, and Unstoppable You!
You Will Learn to:
- Reflect on the life stories and circumstances that have made you who you are today — the beautiful, love-filled stories, as well as those that almost tore you apart, forcing you to grow.
- Create your book outline. Choose which stories you wish to share that will become your working title, chapters, and subheadings.
- Write your first story assignment! Now you are ready! On your mark. Get set. Let’s Write!
LESSON 5
The Gifts and Lessons
You Will Learn to:
- Choose to transform the pain of your past into inspiration that will help give hope, entertainment, and healing to others.

LESSON 6
You Will Learn to:
- Anchor in the new you — the Successful Author you!
- Take stock of the parts of the writing process that have been the most valuable to you — even if not always the most fun — and the exercises that really touched into your personal truth and value in knowing that Your Life Matters! You matter!
- Fall in love with your writing journal.
- You’ll come to see how your voice on the page is becoming your voice in the world in new ways — even BEFORE completing and/or publishing your book.
- Let’s Write!
LESSON 7
The Brand New You — Take a Bow!
You Will Learn:
- Victory is at your fingertips as you literally recognize and write from a lens of purified self-love to identify your strengths, talents and gifts.
- To see the puzzle pieces of each situation you have ever lived that have been woven together to create a rich, sacred tapestry that makes you YOU!
- Empowerment of the shift from fear to love, from student to master, standing tall inside your skin.
You are the Phoenix that has risen and transformed by the fires – fires that you can now name as your strengths and your salvation!
LESSON 8
You Will Learn:
- Valuable information about the publishing industry to help make an informed decision about whether to self-publish, choose a traditional publisher, a hybrid publisher, or to not publish at all.
- Book layout, cover design, editors, and tips on how to choose what’s right for you.
- Let’s Write!
LESSON 9
You Will:
- Attend a mock book launch where you dress for success as a proud new author on Zoom — just as you would in an auditorium – taking the stage and showing off your book to a live audience.
- Create the scene so that you’ll have an opportunity to feel in your body what it will be like once you have your real book in your hands.
- Learn to design a mock cover on a blank journal, adding the testimonials you’d like to see from the people who would mean the most to you.

WHY STUDY WITH ME?
Watch what Annie Lavack has to say. At the time she took my writing workshop, “Re-Write Your Life, Sacred Stories, Celebrating Your Life Journey”, she was a stay-at-home mom not sure of her path in life. She went on to have her voice on the page become her voice in the world, as a church minister in Victoria, BC — giving weekly talks and inspiring and empowering others. ~ Junie Swadron
I have successfully coached thousands of writers, authors and change-makers, taking them through their blocks and uncertainties into the power of what they wish to say and share.
My skills and expertise as a psychotherapist and writing coach go hand-in-hand as I guide people in writing compelling page turners.
Through the unique process of the Author Mentorship Program students work through whatever blocks have been keeping them stuck. It may not be just ‘writer’s block’, but pain that is still present and preventing the flow of writing from their most empowered voice.
Every work of art moves directly from its originator’s heart into the heart of the observer. That is why, in my opinion, it is essential to write from a place of strength that comes from consciously navigating one’s healing journey.
My mission is to help this group of up-and-coming authors to become the Authors they want to be in their life — to step into the highest expressions of themselves.

STILL NOT SURE IF YOU ARE READY TO COMMIT?
Have you ever shared a personal story with someone you trust and afterwards they looked at you earnestly and declared, “Oh my gosh, your story is incredible. You need to write a book!” and the look in their eyes and the sincerity of their tone resonated deeply in your heart? For a split second, you came alive as you felt the wonder of what it would be like to act on your instinct.
But then, do thoughts come chiming in, interrupting your quiet reverie? Thoughts like, “How do I write a book?”
Or, “I’d be mortified if ‘so-and-so’ read my book.”
“What if it’s a flop — a farce?”
“There are so many other books out there on the same subject.”
“It’s a lot of work and I haven’t got a clue where to begin.”
We all have fears like this, and if we don’t acknowledge that writing down our stories is important to us, we’ll never do it. The Author Mentorship Program will help you work through the fear. It’s time!
Writing down the experiences that only you have lived and discovering what they’ve taught you will help transform you. The Author Mentorship Program will, in fact, free you and your stories will help liberate countless others.
The chance to join up-and-coming authors like yourself to be part of my Author Mentorship Program is the Universe saying, “It’s time to come out of hiding!” A sign that it’s time to shine your light into the world through the telling of your life stories.
You have what it takes to write your book and my Author Mentorship Program has the right teachings to make your publishing dream come true.
Now is the time to turn self-defeating thoughts into self-empowering action and creation. If not NOW, WHEN?
THIS IS YOUR INVITATION
to Your Life Matters!
Author Mentorship Program.
YOUR SIGN FROM THE UNIVERSE.
“Like an angel, Junie Swadron embraces you all the way on this challenging terrain of finding your voice and tackling your toughest fears. And like magic, your cocooned story is ready to emerge.”Alissa Friedman, Chicago, Illinois, USA
MORE TESTIMONIALS
A big part of the Your Life Matters! Author Mentorship Program is uncovering the truest expression of yourself. This is a journey in self-discovery.
Often students come in thinking that they want to write a particular thing and then it changes into something else that feels even better. The program will guide and support you through each step as you grow and ultimately become the author of your own book.
But don’t just take it from me. Hear what my former student, Lawrence Cooper, a psychologist, had to say about his process while working with me before fulfilling his dream of becoming a proud and published author by watching the video above.
To learn more about the students who wrote with me and their journeys to becoming successful authors, watch my Author Mentorship Success Series where I interview newly published authors, with new episodes weekly throughout 2022.
ABOUT JUNIE SWADRON
“Your soul meets you on the page and something shifts. You strengthen. And begin to stand taller. Soon you begin to notice that your voice on the page has become your voice in the world.”
This is spoken from my heart to yours and is the cornerstone of the work I do and of how I am of service in the world.
I’d love to share with you my big WHY for the work I love doing and my personal story of how I declared victory over serious mental health diagnosis, through the healing power of my own written words and commitment to heal.
“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you lived. This is to have succeeded.”Ralph Waldo Emerson
