What does it really take to write a meaningful, traditionally published book without shortcuts, without a ghostwriter, and without losing the soul of your work?

In this deep and honest conversation, Milana Snow shares her real author journey from decades of spiritual practice to writing her book It’s All Within You the long way.

Together, we explore what most people never see behind the scenes of traditional publishing, including the inner work, discipline, and faith required to carry a book all the way through the messy middle.

In this episode, we talk about:

• How Millana knew she was truly ready to write a book
• Why the proposal process was harder than writing the book itself
• The difference between speaking wisdom and writing it
• What aspiring authors misunderstand about traditional publishing and intellectual property
• Why lived experience matters more than analysis
• How daily practice, discipline, and trust carried her through doubt
• The surprising story of winning Project Runway and how it shaped her understanding of trust, manifestation, and surrender

This episode is for:

• Aspiring authors
• Thought leaders and creatives
• Coaches, healers, and teachers
• Anyone feeling called to write, but unsure where to begin

Topics include breathwork, authorship, faith, publishing, personal transformation, creative discipline, and trust.
