EPISODE 2026-02

ABOUT THE EPISODE
On this episode of The Persistence Payoff, we speak with Liisa Kovala, a Finnish-Canadian author, book coach, and creative mentor whose work centers on helping writers push through doubt, resistance, and the paralysis that stalls so many creative projects. Liisa has published award-recognized historical fiction, including Sisu’s Winter War and Surviving Stutthof: My Father’s Memories Behind the Death Gate, and she also writes cozy mysteries under a pen name. Beyond her own writing, Liisa is a certified book coach who guides authors through the full arc of book creation — from idea and first draft to revision and publication — with a focus on building sustainable writing habits and confidence in the craft.
Her mission is to empower writers to discover their sisu — a Finnish term that embodies strength, courage, and determination in the face of adversity — and to apply it not only to their writing but to life’s bigger creative challenges. In this conversation, we explore what it takes to persist when the process gets hard, how book coaching transforms a project and a writer’s mindset, and why embracing sisu can be the key to finishing what you start.
