Make money blogging by changing your mindset? Yep! That's what we're jammin on!

In this episode, I'm having a complete and total fan girl moment. 😍😍😍I've been a fan of the amazing Sandy Forster for YEARS! I have 2 print copies and one digital copy of her bestselling book How to Be Wildly Wealthy Fast, and I was so stoked to get the chance to interview her for an article on money mindset for entrepreneurs for Godaddy earlier this year. You can check out that article here. This episode features the full recording of that awesome interview, and I wanted to share it with all of my bloggy friends to show you what is possible when you step into the belief that with inspired action, thoughts truly can become things and change your life!

Have you ever wondered what it takes to transform a story swimming in your head into a published cozy mystery novel? What if keeping a two-year writing secret from your family could lead to seeing your book on Barnes & Noble's website?

Join Ashley Grant as she chats with Robin Stephanie (aka Masshole Mommy) about her journey from blogger to published author of "The Deadly Garden," the first book in the Driftwood Cove mystery series. Robin reveals her meticulous outlining process, from creating detailed character profiles to building a "series bible" that keeps her fictional Massachusetts town consistent across books.

Discover how a podcast about Charles Manson's use of belladonna sparked an entire murder mystery plot, why Robin chose to write family-friendly cozy mysteries instead of gritty crime fiction, and the surprising upfront costs of self-publishing that most new authors don't expect.

Robin shares her promotional strategies, from local book signings to AI-generated social media images, plus why her Google search history ("how quickly can you die from belladonna poisoning?") would probably land her on an FBI watchlist. She also discusses her paranormal podcast "The Gen X Couple" and teases details about book two in her series.

Whether you're an aspiring mystery writer, cozy fiction fan, or curious about the self-publishing journey, this episode offers practical insights into turning creative ideas into published reality.
