"The writer: Someone who spends a lifetime in solitude for the sake of communication." - Jason Love
Invitations ๐
Writing is an inherently lonely endeavor, and particularly so for me. For both my books, I've cut out all social activities completely while I'm actively writing, so by the end of every book process, I am weirder, interpersonally starved, and socially awkward.
Now that the book is done, all I want is to be around other people. That's why I'll be sharing the book everywhere from Davos to DC, and this is my official invitation for you to join me.
There are book tour events in NYC (Feb 3), San Francisco (Feb 5), and Miami (Feb 6). I am also hosting private events in Washington, DC, on February 18, and Davos during the World Economic Forum. If you're in either place on those dates, let me know, and I'll send you details. The full list of events will be updated as more are scheduled throughout the year. โ
My last event of the book tour is a keynote speech in Florida on February 25. Then I'll be 39 weeks pregnant and on the cusp of further hermiting with a newborn baby, so February is my last social hurrah. I hope to see you somewhere along the way.

What feels like a lifetime ago (but was really only 6 years ago), I was in tremendous debt from starting a business that closed during the pandemic.
I also didnโt even have my first book deal yet, and I'd just been rejected by three literary agents. Plus, my coaching practice was brand new โ I was hungry for more clients and income.
In this tough season of life, I made myself something simple: A Manifestation Journal. It was a simple 31-day accountability practice to keep me focused, confident, and optimistic during this low period.
Just recently, I needed it again.
I was overwhelmed juggling a book launch, third trimester life, and parenting a toddler during cold + flu season. My mindset was getting darker, and I couldnโt sleep because my brain wouldnโt stop looping everything going wrong. In the middle of the night, I remembered my Manifestation Journal, so I got up, dug through my computer, found the old file, printed it out, and started again.
I promise you, I felt better after just a few entries. Iโve now completed my first 31 days, and Iโm about to start another round.
And thatโs what made me think: I should share this with anyone who wants it. ๐
When you pre-order the book, Iโll send you the printable file so you can use it over and over again.
โ Printable Manifestation Journal โ Reuse anytime you need a reset โ Option for a physical copy mailed to you (U.S. only)
Once you pre-order AQ, then submit your confirmation, your pre-order gifts will be sent to you the week of January 26 or earlier.
Virtual ๐ซ
When you pre-order, you'll also have access to two webinars I'm hosting at the end of January. There will be copious time for Q&A and personal support. If you can't make it live, they will be recorded and shared.
One is about the Year of the Horseand how to enter this new year with confidence and energy.
The other is a deep dive into the AQ Archetypes and how you can get what you want at work and in relationships by tuning into your power. A friend of mine who is finding solace in his own Archetype just texted me this:
For some easy listening about the Archetypes, check out my latest podcast episode, where I share an overview of each of them: โจ Novelist ๐ง Neurosurgeon ๐ Astronaut ๐ฅ Firefighter
Ep 83. What Your Archetype Says About You
If you haven't already discovered your AQ Archetype โ take the quiz at AQquiz.com, then press play on this episode to hear more about your strengths and skills.
My absolute favorite part of launching The Karma of Success in 2023 was getting to meet and spend time with so many of you โ those of you whoโve followed my work, supported my writing, and made it possible for me to become an author.
Iโm so excited to do it againโฆ with even more in-person + online events than last time.
Thank you for opening this email. Thank you for reading. Thank you for being here.
Hope to see you soon, โLiz

Liz Tran JUNE 16, 2026 ๐ ๐ง Why Jalen Brunson Wins โ Hey Reader, Saturday night, Jalen Brunson did what most people said was impossible: he brought home the Championship title for the New York Knicks. When Brunson joined the team in 2022, the critics were derisive and skeptical. They said: It's an awful idea. The saddest sweepstakes ever... the Jalen Brunson sweepstakes. . Is Jalen Brunson one of the top 10 guards in the NBA? I don't even think he's number 10. He's maybe 14. This is not the...
Hey Reader, You can order an Uber in 2 minutes, a meal in 15, and swipe for a date in seconds. Your favorite show drops all at once, and your news feed refreshes before you finish reading it. Modern life has been engineered so you never have to wait for anything. And then, in the middle of all of it, the fastest-growing game on the internet made you stop after five minutes. One puzzle. One shot. See you tomorrow. No exceptions. By making you wait 24 hours for your next turn, Wordle was an...
Hey Reader, It's been two weeks since AQ hit the shelves, and I am still blown away by the response. Hundreds of people showed up to events in-person, and thousands took the Archetypes quiz! It was the most meaningful week of my life, because in a rare instance, my work, personal life, and family seemed completely aligned as my husband and daughter stood by my side at my Miami book reading. "AQ! AQ!" my two-year-old said over and over in her little voice, picking up on the topic of...
