Our transformative mindset work paired with inspiring personal development strategies are specifically curated for people who know they were called to make a meaningful impact through a children’s book but feel paralyzed by overwhelm, lack of clarity, and self-doubt.

You know you have something special to share, but you’re still the world’s best-kept secret. You’re ready to give your family the gift of a story that will leave a lasting impression now and for decades to come.
YOU FEEL STUCK
The idea of writing and using a children’s book sounds great, but when you face the facts, that’s easier said than done! You’re ready for a refresh to kickstart your clarity on your next chapter so you can stop waiting and start doing.
YOU HAVEN’T REACHED THE SUCCESS YOU TRULY WANT
You took the first step by writing and publishing your children’s book, but you aren’t reaching the results you had hoped for. You need the growth strategies to remove your fear and activate confidence in your book, your message, and yourself.
YOU FEEL LIKE IT MIGHT BE TOO LATE TO REALIZE YOUR DREAMS
You’ve always wanted to monetize and maximize a children’s book but feel like you may have missed the boat. You want a trusted advisor to help you build the mindset that is necessary to build belief in your vision and your book.
YOU KNOW YOU WANT SOMETHING MORE
Even if you’re not exactly sure what you want, you know it’s something different from the life you’re leading now. It’s time to create the life you cannot wait to wake up to, every single day!
YOU WANT TO GET INTO THE SAME ROOM WITH OTHER PASSIONATE AUTHORS AND ASPIRING AUTHORS
Even if your friends and family support you, it’s difficult to connect with people who truly understand what you’re going through or what you truly want to accomplish. You’re craving the comfort, encouragement, and “love shoves” that surface when you’re surrounded by fellow dreamers who hold a vision as big as your own.
Believe LIVE

You want to write a children’s book

What people are saying about the Believe LIVE experience:
What is Believe LIVE
all about?
What it is:
An interactive experience to develop an enduring author mindset
A safe space to work on yourself
Empowerment to get clear on who you are, what you want, and where you’re going
A kickstart to create the life you really want
An opportunity to get your head in the game, because the truth is any obstacle blocking your success can be overcome with the right mindset.
What it is not:
A writing workshop: we love writing, but you can’t write and publish a successful children’s book without first establishing an unshakable author mindset.
A “how-to” course: if you’re interested in learning all the tactical strategies for writing and publishing children’s books, we’ve got ‘em! But this transformational live experience is specifically designed to do the deep inner work that is essential for book success.
A “solo” journey: Even if you’re attending by yourself, our goal is that you leave feeling more supported, more connected, and more seen than when you arrived. If you’re a person who has no interest in supporting fellow authors in their growth, as they do the same for you, this probably isn’t the event for you.

Magic Happens
Join us at the White Oaks Resort & Spa!
Believe LIVE is taking place in picturesque Niagara-on-the-Lake—one of Canada’s most soothing and celebrated neighborhoods. It’s also only a 10 minute drive from the beautiful and buzzing Niagara Falls!
Meet Your
Host
Miriam Laundry, Bestselling Author + Educational Speaker
I’m Miriam, I get great fulfillment from helping others believe in themselves and accomplish great things. Sometimes that means writing empowering children’s books, and other times it means working with new authors to publish their books. Seeing the “Aha!” moment in someone’s life is what I live for!
So, how did I get here?
In 2012, on the flight home from a Transformational Retreat taught by Jack Canfield, author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul™ books and The Success Principles™, I wrote the first draft of my first children’s book, I CAN Believe in Myself. I set a goal to empower 100,000 children to believe in themselves.
This goal scared me. I didn’t know how I was going to accomplish it, but I was determined.
Then, on May 7th, 2014 I set the Guinness World Record™ for “The Largest Online Book Discussion in a 24 Hour Period”. This meant that thousands of children from over 29 countries around the world read a copy of I CAN Believe in Myself and left a comment on our blog about what they CAN do – all within 24 hours!
I had achieved my goal of empowering over 100,000 children with my first book. Me! I had never planned on being an author. I studied business in college. But, I had discovered something I was extremely passionate about, and I poured my efforts into it.
I CAN Believe in Myself was just the beginning:
That’s when I realized that I wanted more.
You see, I knew that if I stuck to writing and publishing my own books, I could produce maybe one per year. But, if I help other people publish their books, together we could empower so many more children!
That’s one thing I was learning as I shared my books at schools and with children. Parents, teachers, grandparents, entrepreneurs - they all had wonderful ideas and messages that they wanted to share. Powerful messages! Beautiful stories that the world needs. They just didn’t know how, and the idea of self-publishing was overwhelming.
I completely understand that difficulty! When I decided to write in 2012, I would have given anything to have someone show me the way. Now, with my experience in the self-publishing and traditional publishing world, I could be that guide for others.
I founded my own hybrid publishing company, Miriam Laundry Publishing, in 2020 (yes, that’s right, in the middle of a pandemic) and the response was overwhelming. Since then, we’ve published over 50 children’s books, many of which received bestselling status.
As a mother who started out just wanting to make a difference in my children's lives, I ended up becoming an author and publishing CEO. More than that, I was able to impact hundreds of thousands of lives. I want to share my secrets with you. *Here’s a hint: the most important secret is establishing an unshakable author mindset!*
I’m looking forward to meeting (and hugging) you at Believe LIVE!
