I help you embolden yourself. I write about living boldly, using your voice, and daring to be your true self.

[Lila Tan @thelilatan]

I for one know what I would choose. How bout you?

[Lila Tan @thelilatan]

2026 is here. Will you make this the year you finally stop holding yourself back?

Will you vow to live boldly?

Will you decide, once and for all, to let yourself out?

Begin with my free online workshop, 1/24/26

@kh_author absolutely love writing with music. i have a whole writing playlist on spotify. ☺️

sometimes i feel like it almost becomes a part of the piece. has that happened for you?

[Lila Tan @thelilatan]

@kh_author i feel you! 🫶 as you may have guessed i'm writing from experience. sometimes staying down for a while is what we need.

after my latest round of that i'm beginning to rediscover my creativity and why it's so necessary to feeling fully human.

how's things with you?

[Lila Tan @thelilatan]

sometimes, it takes us a lot longer than we expect to make progress on our dreams.

the process goes slowly, is anything but smooth.

we get stuck. we hit limits. we fall in holes.

that’s just how life unfolds.

we gotta learn how to, when we get punched, roll.

We don't need more of what we have.

We need more you.

[Lila Tan @thelilatan]

@_malloryrenee Thanks, Mallory! I love knowing I'm not alone. 🥰

[Lila Tan @thelilatan]

Something about myself I'm embarrassed to admit is a deep feeling of not-allowed-ness.

I crave permission from others, so I can feel allowed to do what I want to do, so I can be me.

Today I decided to use that craving for permission as writing inspiration.

@michelleegordon Yes! 🙌

We don't need anyone's permission, but thanks for giving yours anyway, Michelle. 😊

[Lila Tan @thelilatan]

@SuperpowerQueen Thanks, Mary Beth! Please do! 🤗

What will you give yourself permission to do?

What if we stopped figuring out who we are and started expressing who we are?

Reminds me of the essay I wrote today-

Do you ever get tired of left-braining all the time? 🥴😵‍💫

There's a lot of talk about the importance of mindfulness, but no one really talks about the role our mind plays in our society and in our life.

Our minds are not meant to be our guides. 👇
