Lunch with the Writer You Used to Be

You’ve adulted so hard you forgot the little girl who dreamed of being a writer. Now it’s time to finish her story.

If you’ve spent years succeeding in systems that didn’t quite see the real you, like corporate cubicles, academia, or just the day-to-day parenthood grind, this workshop is your invitation to come home to the creative voice you left behind.

Join author and coach Paulette Perhach for a powerful, compassionate hour that will help you reconnect with your writing dreams and move forward with clarity and momentum.

✅ A clearer picture of the writer you want to become (not just the one you used to be)
✅ Insight into what’s actually holding you back — and how to move through it
✅ Your personalized roadmap using the FINISH Framework to build sustainable creative progress
✅ The truth (and proof) that you’re not too late, not behind, and absolutely not alone

• You’ve left (or are leaving) corporate life and crave something more meaningful
• You’ve been sitting on personal essays, a memoir, or a book idea — and you’re finally ready to make it real
• You want structure, support, and creative accountability (without MFA gatekeeping)
• You miss the version of yourself who made time for writing — and want her back
