We hope you will enjoy this replay of a previously published episode (Episode 340).In this behind-the-scenes conversation, Kathi Lipp welcomes Crystal Paine (MoneySavingMom) to share the real process behind her new book, The Time-Saving Mom. If your writing dreams feel squeezed by real life—kids, work, and a calendar that won’t quit—Crystal’s story offers a practical path forward. Listeners will hear how she wrote in 5–15 minute bursts, built a simple feedback loop with trusted voices, and partnered with her editor and a paid reader team to strengthen the message before it ever went to press. Crystal also unpacks a hard-won lesson: why your book title must signal “I need that” in one glance—and how that shift impacted sales. You’ll walk away with doable strategies to: use small pockets of time to make big writing progress, invite feedback early (without derailing your momentum), and choose a title/cover that serves your reader and your marketing. For every writer who’s tempted to say “I don’t have time,” this episode reframes the work: choose to use time differently and let your systems carry you through seasons of upheaval.
