#018 Even the Critic Has Data: Author Mindset, Internal Conflict & Coaching with Dana Bernstein

What if the biggest thing blocking your progress... is you?

In this episode of Writer Unblocked, I’m joined by conflict resolution coach and author Dana Bernstein, whose book It’s the Thought That Counts: Mastering the Art of YOU vs. you is an empowering guide to untangling your thoughts, owning your identity, and getting out of your own way.

This conversation dives deep — from the internal “committee” we all battle, to what it means to define your core “Who,” to a real-time coaching moment where I share something I’ve been struggling with (yes, it's personal).
