Ever feel like there’s a book inside you—but you're unsure where to start (or whether anyone would even want to read it)? This episode is for you.
Host Laureen Quick sits down with ghostwriting and publishing pro Lillian “Lil” Barcaski for a real, inspiring conversation about why women over 50 are uniquely positioned to write books that matter—and what often stops them.

They discuss the power of sharing your personal journey and writing from the heart—connecting with readers in a way that shows not just knowledge, but lived experience. By the end of this episode, you’ll gain clarity, courage, and actionable steps—whether you’re preparing to write your first book or discovering the therapeutic power of writing your story, with or without publication.
