Mentoring Women Through Emotional Blocks, Creative Growth, and Change
I help women move through blocks that effort, pushing, and trying harder cannot fix
I’m Lynne Klippel, and for more than two decades, I’ve worked closely with women during moments of growth, transition, and visibility.
My background includes work as a librarian, educator, technical writer, corporate administrator, publisher, and business ghostwriter. I published my first book in the early years of self-publishing and later ghostwrote more than 60 books for business leaders while helping publish over 400 books for writers I’ve mentored and trained.
From the outside, it looked like a career focused on writing.
At a deeper level, I was witnessing something else entirely.
During my 24 years of working with women in retreats, courses, and individual mentoring, I kept seeing a disturbing pattern
Many of the women I worked with were accomplished and capable.
They ran businesses.
They led teams.
They created real results.
Yet when it came time to write their own book, increase their visibility, claim authority, or step into a larger role, something tightened.
The block was not about skill.
It was not about clarity.
It was not about motivation.
It was emotional.
Women would reach the edge of meaningful expansion — and feel stuck, hesitant, or quietly afraid.
I recognized this pattern because I had lived it myself.
The Personal Reason Why I Changed my Work to Mentoring and Emotional Clearing
I’ve written more than 65 books, including these two, which I am incredibly proud of. I knew they would encourage and empower readers because I poured my heart and soul into them. And yet, I could barely tell anyone about them.
It was embarrassing…me a seasoned book professional who was terrifed to market her own books.
I tried everything, including numerous coaches, training programs, and outsourcing. I knew what to do, but I couldn’t do it for myself.
Then I began to look beyond strategy and discipline and toward the emotional patterns that shape confidence, visibility, and creative expression. I finally found tools that helped me move past my blocks.
Over time, I trained in compassion-based, trauma-informed approaches and deepened my understanding of subconscious patterns, inherited beliefs, and nervous-system responses that shape writing, leadership, and income.
What became clear was this:
Many women are not blocked because they are unprepared.
They are blocked because part of them learned it was unsafe to be seen.
The Work I do Today
Today, my work centers on mentoring women who have already done years of personal growth, coaching, or professional development — and still feel blocked at a threshold they cannot cross alone.
I support women who feel stuck around:
writing a book or sharing their voice
visibility, authority, or leadership
income growth or professional expansion
identity shifts during seasons of change
My mentoring focuses on releasing emotional patterns that interfere with forward movement, while creating safety and steadiness in the nervous system so change can integrate naturally.
This work is not about pushing or fixing.
It is about removing what no longer belongs.
HOW MY WRITING BACKGROUND SUPPORTS THIS WORK
My decades in publishing and ghostwriting are foundational to how I mentor.
They taught me how women speak when they feel safe — and how they go quiet when they do not. They showed me how fear often disguises itself as perfectionism, procrastination, or “being practical.” They revealed the deep connection between creativity, leadership, and identity.
That understanding informs every mentoring relationship I hold.
This is why my work often supports women who want to write books, increase visibility, or step into leadership in ways that feel grounded rather than draining.
A Bit about my Life
In 2012, I moved from the Midwestern United States to the Andes Mountains of Ecuador, where I live with my husband and our two rescue dogs, Chester and Ellie Mae.
We live deep in the mountains, overlooking a beautiful valley. This is the view from my office window.
I value steadiness, truth, and kindness — principles I learned growing up on a Minnesota farm. I’m a lifelong reader, a baker who loves to feed others, a traveler, and someone who believes freedom isn't forced. It arrives when old patterns finally release.
If You’ve Found Your Way Here
Many women arrive at this work after thinking:
“I’ve done everything right — and I’m still stuck.”
“I don’t need another strategy.”
“I need something to release.”
If that resonates, you are not broken.
You are likely carrying emotional patterns that were never yours to keep.
My work is helping women set those patterns down — so they can live, write, and lead with greater freedom.
