The Power of the Written Word

Welcome to this ninth (and fourth published book) by Write Coach Ireland, Carl J. Ashley. Sending positive vibrations to you from Tipperary! This book is gold. Alchemised base metals turned into precious metal, if you will. Not the product of ‘education’ in the sense of information which has been memorised and regurgitated from some government approved textbook, but education in the sense of what has been gleaned via the lived experience. Indeed, as I’m sure you might concur, therein lies an important distinction. Everyone has a story to share. Do you feel the time is right to tell yours? Storytelling, or scéalaíocht, has deep roots in Irish culture, weaving together personal experience, mythical history, and traditional values. It’s an overlooked but vital aspect of our social fabric. Have you ever wanted to write your own book but didn’t know where to start? The idea can feel overwhelming or daunting, and filled with questions and potential roadblocks. Common challenges like self-sabotage, procrastination, and imposter syndrome often stand in the way. Facing and moving beyond these obstacles is a powerful part of healing through writing. Looking at your experiences honestly, and reflecting with authenticity and accountability, brings clarity and transformation. Writing your story is more than just putting words on a page; it’s about owning your journey and stepping into personal authority. Do you have the courage to share your truth? If the answer is yes, this book is for you. Write Coach Ireland Carl J. Ashley takes us on a journey of the lived experience of the power of writing to heal, manifesting abundance through changing how we think, shifting limiting beliefs, alchemising our transformative potential and learning how to naturally harness Your Power To Heal Through Writing. Almost “half a Paddy” fiftysomething Mancunian father-of-four, published author, public speaker, brother, son, partner and healer, Carl J. Ashley is still happily dislocated in rural Ireland, but now based in Tipperary after a few lifetimes in Clare and Limerick. Having written a few books himself, mostly self-published narrative non-fiction, as the founder of Write Coach Ireland he also now finds he has the privilege of helping other amazing people, around the world, to write to heal and share the story of their journey. Everyone has a story to share. When will you tell yours?
