Ep 88 Imposter Syndrome, Perfectionism, & Purpose_ Mindsets Every Writer Must Face with Amy Simon

Writing isn’t just about fighting distractions—it’s about facing the mindsets that keep us stuck. In this episode of the Writer’s Bloc Podcast, Cara Ray and Amy Simon (host of The Purposeful Pin Podcast and writer of the Pen Points newsletter) talk about building a sustainable writing routine rooted in discipline, grace, and truth.

We dig into:

Why writing is a spiritual discipline

How to spot (and replace) unhealthy mindsets like imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and “all-or-nothing” thinking

Balancing God’s role and our role in the writing process

How to write faithfully, even when numbers or recognition don’t come

If you’ve ever felt stuck, distracted, or discouraged in your writing, this conversation will give you hope, clarity, and practical steps for moving forward.
