The Book Leads – Episode 46: Alyssa Berthiaume (she/her) & Dear Universe, I Get It Now: Letters on the Art and Journey of Being Brave and Being Me. I recently sat down with Book Coach, Writing Guide, and Ghostwriter, Ally Berthiaume, to discuss her career in and passion for writing, and the journey that lead her to publishing her book. Ally’s book is made up of letters she wrote to the universe, walking it through the emotions and experiences of various periods through her life, the good, the bad, the ugly. Episode Highlights · Her work has a lot of cross-over between her loves of psychology and creative writing, for which the center of it all is the human story and experience. · She talks about one of the most pivotal moments in her life, when she had 2 months of living expenses, a hope, and a dream, and never looked back. (Although she still thinks it was a bit insane.) · “If you can impact one person, I know you can impact many more.” · We’re all asked, “WHAT do you want to be when you grow up?” when it should be “WHO do you want to be when you grow up?” The MAIN QUESTION underlying my conversation with Ally is, If you could send the universe letters, how would writing about each of the major experiences in your life change you?
