Learn to write WITH your muse ✨
This year, is the year you tune out the criticism and tune in your inspiration
🎙️ In this episode of Writes4Women, Pam sat down with Megan Dalla-Camina—bestselling author, researcher, and women’s empowerment advocate—to explore the deeper, more spiritual side of writing. From silencing the inner critic to trusting the natural rhythm of creativity, Megan shares how to align with your muse, write with confidence, and step fully into your creative power.
Writing isn’t just about discipline—it’s about energy, trust, and intention. Whether you’re struggling with perfectionism, procrastination, or imposter syndrome, Megan’s insights will help you reconnect with the magic of the creative process.
Read on for the top three takeaways from Pam’s conversation.
Here are the top three takeaways from Pamela’s conversation with Nikki:
1. The Only Voices That Matter: Yours & the Muse’s 🎶
Megan reminds us that writers are sensitive souls, easily influenced by external voices—editors, readers, critics, even our own doubts. But if we let too many voices into our creative space, we’ll never fulfil our highest potential as writers. The only voices that belong in the writing cave? Ours and the muse’s.
💡 Takeaway for Writers: Protect your creative energy. Write before you invite feedback, and don’t let the fear of judgment shape your words before they’ve had a chance to breathe.
2. Creativity is a Dance Between Structure and Flow 🌊
Every writer must navigate the balance between creative inspiration and practical discipline. Megan suggests honouring the phases of creativity—some seasons are for gathering ideas, others are for deep work. Trusting your natural creative cycles makes writing a practice of alignment, not force.
💡 Takeaway for Writers: If writing feels difficult, ask yourself: Am I trying to control something that needs space to unfold? Sometimes, structure serves us. Other times, we need to surrender to the flow.
3. Your Story Will Come When You Are Ready 🕊️
Some stories refuse to be rushed. Megan believes that books arrive when they are meant to—not when we force them, but when we are truly ready to tell them. If a project isn’t working, it might not be time yet. Let the idea sit. Let it marinate in your subconscious. Trust that when the moment is right, the words will come.
💡 Takeaway for Writers: Writing is an act of trust. If something isn’t flowing, it doesn’t mean it’s lost—it means it’s waiting. Honour your creative timing, and when the energy is there, follow it with your whole heart.
