  • Awakening the Earthkeeper Within

    Awakening the Earthkeeper Within

    A Journey Into the Heart of the Andes

    Under the vast Andean sky, a sacred call is echoing—inviting you to remember who you are and why you came to Earth at this pivotal time. Awakening the Earthkeeper Within is a transformational journey that bridges ancient Andean wisdom with the challenges and possibilities of modern life.

    Guided by her ancestral lineage and real-life pilgrimages through the mountains of Peru, Fabiola Baughman weaves together powerful stories, teachings, and initiations that awaken the Earthkeeper within each of us—the one who heals, dreams, and co-creates a new world in harmony with Pachamama (Mother Earth)

    In this illuminating book, you will discover:

        •    The hidden meaning of the Munay-Ki rites and their power to activate light, love, and purpose.

        •    How to heal ancestral wounds and restore balance through Andean cosmology and the Medicine Wheel.

        •    Reflections, meditations, and stories that connect science, spirit, and the sacred landscapes of the Andes.

        •    Inspiration to embody your destiny as a guardian of the Earth and dream a new reality into being.

    Whether you are a seeker, healer, or simply curious about the deeper rhythms of life, this book offers a heartfelt guide to transformation—one rooted in ancient tradition yet profoundly relevant for our changing world.

    Awaken your Earthkeeper heart. Remember your origin. Step into the new humanity the ancestors dreamed of.

  • How Publishing Your Next Book Can Outperform Any Single Marketing Campaign

    How Publishing Your Next Book Can Outperform Any Single Marketing Campaign

    Most marketing campaigns are built to perform for a moment.

    A launch.
    A promotion.
    A limited-time push.

    Then it’s over.

    The ads stop running.
    The emails stop going out.
    The buzz fades.

    But a book? A book works for you every single day—long after any single campaign has ended.

    When positioned correctly, a book becomes the most powerful, long-term marketing engine in your business. And when paired with weekly podcast guesting, it can outperform even your best paid campaigns in reach, authority, and revenue.

    Here’s how.

    A Book Is a 24/7 Credibility Machine

    No ad, funnel, or social post instantly elevates your authority like a published book.

    The moment you become an author, you’re no longer just another coach, consultant, or entrepreneur—you’re a recognized expert. A book:

    • Positions you as the authority in your niche
    • Builds trust before you ever get on a call
    • Removes skepticism in the buying process
    • Creates instant status on stages, screens, and sales pages

    While marketing campaigns ask for attention, a book earns it.

    A Campaign Ends. A Book Compounds.

    A marketing campaign has a fixed shelf life. Once the budget runs out or the promotion ends, so does the momentum.

    A book compounds.

    Every copy sold, shared, mailed, gifted, or quoted continues to market your message. Your book becomes:

    • Your best business card
    • Your most powerful lead magnet
    • Your sales tool that never sleeps
    • Your credibility piece in every room you enter

    Instead of pouring money into short-term exposure, you’re investing in a long-term asset that grows in value over time.

    Weekly Podcast Guesting Turns Your Book Into a Lead-Generating Machine

    Here’s where most authors leave massive opportunity on the table.

    They publish the book…
    Promote it for a few weeks…
    Then move on.

    Smart authors do the opposite.

    They use their book as the reason they get booked on podcasts every single week.

    Podcast hosts are always looking for:

    • Experts with real frameworks
    • People with proven stories
    • Guests who can teach something tangible
    • And yes—published authors

    Your book becomes your passport onto other people’s platforms.

    Now imagine this:

    Instead of one campaign reaching one audience…
    You are a guest on 4–8 podcasts every month…
    Each with warm, loyal listeners…
    All hearing your story, your message, and your offer—directly from you.

    That is what real, sustainable visibility looks like.

    Podcasts Warm Audiences Faster Than Any Ad Ever Could

    Podcast listeners spend 30–60 minutes with you in their ears.

    They hear your voice.
    Your story.
    Your passion.
    Your expertise.

    By the time they visit your website, download your free resource, or book a call—they already feel like they know you.

    This is why conversion rates from podcast traffic are often higher than:

    • Cold ads
    • Social media traffic
    • One-off promotions

    Your book gives you the authority to get booked.
    Your voice creates the relationship.
    Your offer converts the lead.

    That’s a powerful ecosystem—built around one central asset: your book.

    One Book Can Fuel Every Part of Your Business

    A well-positioned book doesn’t just help you sell books. It fuels:

    • Your email list growth
    • Your speaking opportunities
    • Your podcast bookings
    • Your coaching and programs
    • Your media visibility
    • Your high-ticket sales

    One story.
    One message.
    One framework.

    Distributed everywhere.

    Instead of creating new marketing from scratch each month, your book becomes the source that feeds everything else you do.

    The Real Power Move: Book + Weekly Podcast Strategy

    Here’s the truth most entrepreneurs miss:

    A book without consistent visibility is underutilized.
    Podcast visibility without a backend strategy is under-monetized.

    But together?

    They outperform nearly every single standalone marketing campaign you could run.

    You don’t just “launch” your book.
    You build an ecosystem around it.

    You don’t just go on one or two podcasts.
    You make guesting a weekly growth strategy.

    This is how modern thought leaders scale without burning out on content, ads, and constant promotions.

    Final Thought

    Marketing campaigns are events.
    A book is an asset.

    Campaigns spike attention.
    Books build legacy.

    When you use your book as the foundation—and amplify it through weekly podcast guesting—you stop chasing visibility and start owning it.

    Your book doesn’t just tell your story.
    It becomes the most powerful marketing tool you’ll ever create.

  • Too Busy to Write a Book? How Busy Entrepreneurs Can Finally Publish This Year

    Too Busy to Write a Book? How Busy Entrepreneurs Can Finally Publish This Year

    Every entrepreneur I know says the same thing:

    “I know I need a book… I just don’t have time.”

    And yet, that same entrepreneur somehow finds time to:

    • Build a business
    • Serve clients
    • Launch offers
    • Record podcasts
    • Manage teams
    • And make a thousand decisions a day

    So here’s the truth no one tells you:
    You’re not too busy to write a book—you’re too busy to figure out how.

    The overwhelm isn’t about writing. It’s about not knowing where to start, what to do next, and how to fit it into an already full life. The good news? Publishing a book does not require abandoning your business or adding 20-hour writing weeks to your schedule.

    It requires a smarter, simpler approach.

    Let’s break it down.


    1. Stop Treating Your Book Like a “Someday” Dream

    Most entrepreneurs don’t fail to publish because they quit. They fail because they postpone. The book stays in the “someday” category—right alongside that course, that stage, and that next level of visibility.

    But here’s what changes everything:

    When your book becomes a current project instead of a future dream, your priorities shift.

    Instead of asking, “When will I have time?” you start asking,
    “What small step can I take this week?”

    Momentum always starts with one decision:

    This is happening now.


    2. Replace Long Writing Sessions With Micro-Momentum

    You do not need hours of uninterrupted writing time. You need 20-minute pockets of focused progress.

    Think in terms of:

    • One short outline session
    • One 20-minute voice note
    • One story captured per week

    A book written in:

    • 26 weeks = 1 small session per week
    • 12 weeks = 1–2 micro-sessions per week
    • 30 days = strategic focus with support

    Big goals become possible when the steps become tiny.


    3. Speak Your Book Instead of Writing It

    This is where we help the most busy entrepreneurs finally breathe again.

    You don’t need to write your book.
    You need to talk your book.

    Your best process is:

    • Voice notes while driving
    • Short Zoom interviews
    • Walking while recording
    • Weekly 20–30 minute “brain dumps”

    Your spoken expertise gets:

    • Transcribed
    • Organized
    • Edited into chapters

    The result?
    You stay in your genius.
    The process stays light.
    And your book actually gets finished.


    4. Only Focus on the Next Step—Not the Whole Mountain

    One of the biggest causes of overwhelm is trying to mentally solve:

    • Writing
    • Editing
    • Cover design
    • Publishing platforms
    • Launch plans
    • Marketing strategies

    All at once.

    You do not need to solve the entire publishing process today.

    You only need to know:

    “What is my next simple step this week?”

    That might be:

    • Clarifying your book idea
    • Outlining your chapters
    • Recording one story
    • Or naming your audience

    When entrepreneurs are supported by a proven roadmap, the pressure disappears and progress accelerates.


    5. Your Book Is Not a Distraction—It’s a Business Asset

    This is the mindset shift that unlocks everything.

    Your book is not:

    • A vanity project
    • A side hobby
    • Or a creative indulgence

    Your book is a business development tool that will:

    • Drive podcast interviews
    • Create speaking opportunities
    • Feed your email list
    • Shorten your sales cycle
    • Position you as the authority

    In fact:

    Your book will work harder for your business than any single marketing campaign you’ll run this year.

    Once you see your book as part of your revenue and visibility strategy, it no longer feels optional. It becomes essential.


    6. Borrow Structure Before You Create Discipline

    Discipline is wonderful—but structure is faster.

    Busy entrepreneurs succeed with their books when they have:

    • External accountability
    • Simple weekly milestones
    • A guide for every stage
    • And someone who removes the technical friction

    You don’t need more willpower.
    You need a container that carries the process for you.

    Structure eliminates decision fatigue.
    Support eliminates isolation.
    Together, they eliminate overwhelm.


    7. The Only Way You Don’t Publish This Year

    Let me be very honest with you:

    The only reason you won’t publish this year is not time.
    It’s not talent.
    It’s not clarity.

    It’s waiting.

    Waiting for:

    • A “slower season”
    • A cleaner calendar
    • More confidence
    • The perfect moment

    That moment rarely comes.

    But the moment you decide to start?
    Progress always follows.


    Final Truth for the Busy Entrepreneur

    Your book doesn’t require:

    • A sabbatical
    • A perfect schedule
    • Or a complete lifestyle overhaul

    It requires:

    • A clear process
    • Small weekly actions
    • And the decision to stop delaying what you already know is important

    You don’t have to do it alone.
    You just have to say yes to the first step.

  • Top 12 Objections That Stop People From Publishing Their Book

    Top 12 Objections That Stop People From Publishing Their Book

    Have you ever felt the nudge to write your book, but something keeps getting in the way? You’re not alone.

    Every author — whether they’re just beginning or already sitting on a half-written manuscript — experiences the same doubts, fears, and roadblocks. The good news? Every single one of these obstacles is completely normal… and completely solvable with the right support.

    Here are the top 12 objections that keep people from publishing their book, along with exactly how our Author-licity™ coaching program helsp you move through each one with clarity and confidence.


    1. “I don’t know where to start.”

    Publishing a book can feel overwhelming when you’re staring at a blank page.
    How we help: We give you a clear, proven, step-by-step roadmap. From idea to outline to published book, you always know your next step. No guesswork, no overwhelm — just momentum.


    2. “What if it’s not good enough?”

    Fear of judgment or imperfection keeps more authors stuck than anything else.
    How we help: You get coaching, feedback, and structure to refine your content and bring your best ideas forward. We help you feel confident that your message is strong, valuable, and ready for readers.


    3. “I don’t have enough time.”

    Most people think writing a book requires years.
    How we help: Our Author-licity™ framework shows you exactly how to write and publish your book in small, focused blocks of time. With accountability and templates, you stay on track even with a busy life.


    4. “I’m not a ‘real’ writer.”

    So many aspiring authors believe they need perfect skills or a literary background. Not true.
    How we help: We help you write in your natural voice, structure your ideas, and turn your expertise into a powerful book. Most of our authors are not writers — they’re experts with a message.


    5. “What if nobody reads it?”

    The fear of pouring your heart into a book and hearing crickets is real.
    How we help: We teach you how to identify your ideal reader, position your book, and use podcast interviews to build demand — even before your book launches.


    6. “My idea isn’t unique enough.”

    Many authors compare their ideas to others and talk themselves out of writing.
    How we help: We help you uncover your unique angle, voice, and story — the pieces that make your book stand out. Your message matters, and your perspective is the differentiator.


    7. “Publishing is too expensive.”

    A lot of people think publishing requires huge fees or signing everything over to a publisher.
    How we help: We focus on cost-effective self-publishing strategies where you keep your royalties, maintain control, and publish professionally without breaking the bank.


    8. “I don’t want to deal with the tech.”

    Formatting, ISBNs, uploads, covers — it can all feel intimidating.
    How we help: We guide you through every technical step with simple instructions, resources, and hands-on support so you never feel stuck.


    9. “I don’t know how to market it.”

    A book without a marketing plan becomes a best-kept secret.
    How we help: We teach a simple, repeatable marketing strategy using podcast interviews, visibility, and authentic connections — not complicated launches or funnels. You’ll know exactly how to get readers and build momentum.


    10. “I’m afraid of telling my story.”

    Writing a book can bring up vulnerability — especially if it’s personal.
    How we help: We create a safe, supportive environment where you decide what to share. You’ll learn how to tell your story in a way that empowers both you and your reader.


    11. “What if I succeed?”

    Success can be just as scary as failure.
    How we help: We help you step into your authority with confidence and give you a plan for what comes next — additional books, media, speaking, or business growth. You’re supported every step of the way.


    12. “It’s not the right time.”

    Life feels busy, unpredictable, or full — so people wait for the “perfect time.”
    How we help: There is no perfect time. But with structure, accountability, and a community cheering you on, you’ll create progress faster than you thought possible. This is your sign that now is the right time.


    Final Thoughts: You Don’t Have to Do This Alone

    Writing a book is one of the most powerful ways to grow your credibility, share your message, and make an impact — but it doesn’t have to be confusing, overwhelming, or done in isolation.

    With the right coaching, support, and roadmap, you can publish your book faster and easier than you ever imagined.

    If you’re ready to finally bring your book to the world, we’d love to guide you every step of the way.

  • Global “Mission Accepted” Book Launch to Celebrate 262 Women Leaders and Creatives

    Global “Mission Accepted” Book Launch to Celebrate 262 Women Leaders and Creatives

    VANCOUVER, British Columbia  –  Mission Accepted Media announced today that it will host the celebration and virtual world tour of “Mission Accepted: 262 Women Creatives, Ultrapreneurs & Media” on Wednesday, Dec. 4, featuring Kate Linder as the Keynote Speaker. 

    The live online celebration is part of a five-year international movement uniting women leaders, innovators, and entrepreneurs from around the world. Headlining the event is Kate Linder, an American actress, best known for her role as Esther Valentine on The Young and the Restless, which she has played since 1982. After appearing in the soap opera for more than 40 years, she is one of the longest serving actors on an American soap opera.

The book also includes a historical tribute honoring 50 female pioneers whose legacies paved the way for today’s changemakers.

    The 262 Women’s Book project began as a storytelling initiative and has grown into a worldwide movement celebrating visibility, leadership, and legacy. The anthology features 262 authors, 550 speakers, and 126 quote contributors. 

    Over the course of the project so far, the Mission Accepted movement has reached 900 million viewers and generated more than 5 million media impressions through its affiliated media programs, including The Women’s Channel TV Show.

    “This book is about creating space for women to encourage and be encouraged,” said Deb Drummond, founder of Mission Accepted Media and creator of the 262 Book Series. “It’s about celebrating gumption in all its forms—leadership, creativity, innovation, and the courage to rise.”

    The December 4th  event will include appearances by authors and speakers from around the world and will feature interactive panels, live networking, and surprise giveaways. The speakers scheduled to present are Dr. Melissa Balizan, Melissa (Mel) Heathers, Carroll Patrizi, Liz Goll Lerner, and Kolleen Chesley.

    22-Year-Old Author Zara Jones Launches a Self-Care Framework After a Life-Changing Car Accident, Jones is Aiming to Impact 20+ Million Students Nationwide

    Dallas, TX – November 17, 2025 — After surviving a traumatic car accident, 22-year-old author and advocate Zara Jones is turning her recovery into action as she releases her sixth book, Her Blooming Season: A Self-Care Journey to Heal, Reflect, and Blossom Into the Best Version of You, and unveils a national student-wellness movement.

    During her rehabilitation, Jones said she searched for practical tools that could help her heal emotionally — and quickly realized they didn’t exist.

    “When I needed tools to heal, they didn’t exist,” Jones said. “So I built the framework I wish someone had handed me.”

    Her new 340-page book introduces a research-informed, accessible self-care model centered on 12 pillars of self-care. The framework offers strategies to help students manage stress, burnout, self-doubt and identity-related challenges.

    Jones’ announcement also marks the launch of a nationwide initiative focused on equipping students with emotional-wellness resources. She plans to reach more than 20 million students by 2030 through partnerships with educators, mental health leaders and youth-serving organizations.

    Jones said her mission is to give young people the tools she once needed most.


    A Mission Arriving at a Critical Moment

    National youth mental-health statistics highlight the urgency of her work:

    • 8 in 10 youth mental-health specialists say social media is fueling a crisis
      (Dove Self-Esteem Project, 2023)
    • 42% of students report persistent sadness or hopelessness
    • 29% live with a mental-health condition
    • Less than half receive help
      (Be Strong, 2024)

    “Students are more connected than ever — yet emotionally unsupported,” Jones explains.
    “We must treat healing like a skill, not a last resort.”


    A New Model for Student Wellness

    The Her Blooming Season framework has grown into a multi-layered ecosystem designed for schools, youth groups, and mentorship programs. It includes:

    • 🌼 Blossom Circles with Zara™: Peer-led self-care and leadership groups
    • 📔 Reflection Decks, Journals & Classroom Resources
    • 🧭 Parent & Educator Guides to facilitate meaningful conversations
    • 📱 The Blossom App featuring daily “Mindfulness Minutes,” prompts, and self-care tracking

    Jones envisions a future where emotional literacy sits alongside academics.

    “My goal isn’t just to write a book — it’s to change how a generation learns to heal,” she says.


    A Personal Story Lighting the Way for Others

    Jones’ transformation from student-athlete to student-wellness advocate is central to her mission. She often shares that after her accident, she felt lost, overwhelmed, and unsure where to turn — an experience she now knows millions of students silently relate to.

    The absence of accessible tools became her motivation.

    “No young person should have to hit rock bottom to learn how to care for themselves,” she says.
    “Her Blooming Season is proof that healing is possible — and within reach.”
