Ever dreamt of writing a book but felt completely overwhelmed by where to start—or whether anyone would even read it?

In this episode of The Kelly Effect, Kelly Kaye Walker sits down with bestselling author Amey Ziegler, who spills the real tea on how she went from sitting on stacks of unpublished manuscripts to launching a wildly successful indie publishing career (and earning 10x more from one book than all her others combined—yes, really!).

Inside this episode:

• How Amey accidentally became a bestselling author (hint: it started with a 99¢ gamble)

• The truth about indie vs. traditional publishing

• What kind of author you are—and why that matters

• Essential tools, tactics, and mindset shifts for getting your book out of your head and onto the page (and into readers' hands!)

Whether you’ve got a dusty Word doc labeled “Book Draft” or just a big idea swirling in your head, this episode will give you the inspiration and strategy to actually start—without waiting for perfect.

Press play and get ready to believe that yes, you really can write that book.

Welcome to The Kelly Effect™ — Public Speaking That Leaves a Mark

In this episode I go through a short clip from a speech by one of my favorite speakers, Simon Sinek. He must be having an off day because he is not his usual brilliantly eloquent self. I point out some double clutches, unnecessary pointing and "so"s, and how often he turns his back to the audience and speaks to his notepad. See if you agree with me!

This channel is for bold, brilliant, free-thinking humans who feel called to speak but refuse to settle for boring, buttoned-up, or by-the-book. Whether you’re an overthinking entrepreneur, an ADHD coach, or a story-rich speaker in progress—you’re in the right place.

As a professional speaking coach, I’ll show you how to:

✔️ Unmute your voice

✔️ Craft speeches that connect

✔️ Own your story without oversharing

✔️ Drop the pressure to perform

✔️ Leave your audience saying: “That’s gonna leave a mark.”

Because your message wasn’t meant to stay quiet.

And you? You were never meant to be on mute.
