Mary Farias and Barbara Wainwright
The Author's Blueprint - From Your Head to the World

Do you have a message to share with the world—but don't think you're a writer? You're not alone.

In this inspiring episode of The Author's Blueprint, Mary Reiss Farias interviews co-host Barbara Wainwright, founder of Wainwright Global Institute, about her own unexpected journey to becoming an author—and why there are many ways to write a book without ever sitting down to "write" one.

Barbara shares how she resisted writing a book for more than 15 years before discovering a process that worked for her, eventually turning spoken messages into her book, Awakening to Divine Purpose.

In this episode, you'll discover:

✅ Why having a message is more important than seeing yourself as a writer
✅ How anthologies can be the perfect first step to becoming a published author
✅ Why podcasting can become the foundation for your next book
✅ How interviews and conversations can be transformed into powerful written content
✅ Creative alternatives to sitting down and writing page after page
✅ Why entrepreneurs, coaches, and consultants should consider writing a book
✅ How speaking, podcasting, video, and books can work together to amplify your message
✅ The importance of leaving a legacy through your ideas and experiences
✅ How the right coaching and publishing support can simplify the entire process

Mary and Barbara also discuss how authors can use podcast interviews to create anthologies, build authority, and expand their reach while helping others share their stories. They explore the power of community through KPHRED Digital Radio and why collaboration is one of the fastest ways to amplify your voice.

If you've ever thought:

"I have a story, but I don't know how to write it..."
"Writing a book feels overwhelming..."
"I speak much better than I write..."
"I know I have a message, but I'm not sure what to do next..."

...this episode will show you that there are many paths to becoming an author.

You don't have to be a writer to become an author. Sometimes all you need is a conversation, a message worth sharing, and the right guide to help bring it into the world.
