  • Feel Like You Never Have Enough? Start Here!
    Mar 20 2026

    What do you do when it feels like you don’t have enough—enough time, enough energy, enough resources—to build the writing life God has called you to?

    In today’s episode, we’re diving into a powerful story from 1 Kings 17 that reveals what it truly looks like to trust God in seasons of scarcity. Through the account of Elijah and the widow of Zarephath, we uncover how faith isn’t just a one-time decision—it’s a daily choice to believe that God will provide, again and again and again.

    If you’re a Christian writer struggling with overwhelm, burnout, or limited resources, this episode will encourage you to shift from striving to surrender—and begin building sustainable, grace-filled business foundations with God.

  • 8 Hard Truths My Redemption Taught Me (Special Episode)
    Mar 6 2026

    Welcome to a special episode of Heart for Creatives, the podcast dedicated to helping female Christian writers build sustainable, grace-filled writing careers with God at the center.

    March is a meaningful month in my household because it marks the anniversary of the day the Lord stepped in and radically redeemed my life. Eight years ago, God rescued me, transformed my heart, and began a journey of healing and purpose that I never could have imagined.

    In today’s special reflection episode, I’m sharing 8 hard but beautiful truths God has taught me since that redemption moment. Truths that have shaped not only my faith, but also the way I approach my creative calling and writing business.

    These lessons were not always easy to learn, but they have become foundational anchors for living and creating with Christ at the center.

    If you’re a Christian writer navigating discouragement, uncertainty, or the pressure of building a writing career, this episode will remind you that God is present in every season—and that your story matters more than you know.
