SPA Girls Podcast – EP524 – Interview with Becca Syme

Planning, Priorities & Publishing
We’re thrilled to welcome back Becca Syme to the SPA to talk about Planning, reducing your Decision Fatigue, the difference between anxiety and intuition, and how to decide what publishing strategies work best for YOU.

As a community, indie publishers are so fortunate to have Becca’s Clifton Strengths work and writer psychology understanding to help us navigate the chaos of publishing and prevent/overcome burnout.

Becca’s upcoming Kickstarter (November 2025) Dear Writer You Still Need To Quit can be found here: https://betterfasteracademy.com/links

If you’re listening to this after her kickstarter campaign has ended you can buy the book on all platforms.

Find Becca’s podcast https://betterfasteracademy.com/podcast/ on all podcast apps and YouTube.
