  Send me a message!It's that time of year—everyone's setting goals, making resolutions, and planning their 2026 author business. But what if one word could give you more clarity than a hundred strategies?In this episode, I'm sharing why I personally choose a Word of the Year, how it's kept me focused and grounded for 8 years, and the quiz I use every single year to help me discern what that word should be.This isn't a "you must do this" episode. It's simply me sharing my experience with a practice that's transformed how I approach my author business—and inviting you to try it if it resonates.I'm also sharing how my last three words turned out to be prophetic—revealed years before God would call me to create this podcast and The Revive to Thrive Way™. He was already naming what He was about to birth through me, and I couldn't have known that at the start of each of these years.If you're heading into 2026 feeling scattered, overwhelmed, or unclear about what to focus on—this practice might help you too.Plus, I'm sharing my collection of river stones with 8 years of words written on them—and how looking back, I can clearly see how each word was the foundation of that year, often in ways I never expected.Scripture referenced: Ecclesiastes 3:1 (a time for everything), Proverbs 4:25-27 (fix your gaze), Proverbs 16:9 and 19:21 (hold plans loosely)Perfect for: Christian authors feeling scattered, anyone overwhelmed by conflicting advice, writers looking for focus in 2026, those wanting practical ways to align with God's planMentioned:The Revive to Thrive Way™ waitlistDaySpring Word of the Year Quiz.👉 Listen now to uncover the secret to becoming an anointed scribe!Support the show_________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 🔥 There’s only one way to real breakthrough in your author business!

• 55 | Before You Write Off 2025, Listen to This.

  Send me a message!It's almost the end of 2025, and instead of gratitude, you're drowning in guilt.The books you didn't finish. The goals you didn't hit. The platform that didn't grow. Everyone else is posting their year-end wins—12 books published, six-figure incomes, USA Today bestseller lists—and you're wondering if you wasted an entire year.But what if you're measuring the wrong things?What if God sees your 2025 completely differently than you do?In this vulnerable episode, I'm sharing my own disappointing 2025—an unexpected international move that disrupted every plan, left books unwritten, and income goals unmet. And yet, God revealed something that completely changed how I see this year.If you're heading into December feeling like you failed at your calling, this episode will shift your perspective.We're talking about the metrics God actually cares about (spoiler: they're not book counts or bestseller lists), why "unproductive" seasons might be God's most important ones, and the one thing most Christian authors are forgetting as they measure their year.This isn't toxic positivity. This is about learning to see what God sees—and discovering He might be celebrating things you haven't even noticed.Because friend, what if the guilt you're carrying isn't from God at all?Scripture referenced: Psalm 103:1-2, 1 Thessalonians 5:18, Ecclesiastes 3:1, Philippians 4:6-7, Isaiah 43:19Perfect for: Christian authors feeling like failures, anyone comparing their year to others' highlight reels, writers carrying guilt about "unproductive" seasons, those ready to finish 2025 strong.Turn up the volume—this one will help you see your year through God's eyes instead of the world's.👉 Listen now to uncover the secret to becoming an anointed scribe!Support the show_________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 🔥 There’s only one way to real breakthrough in your author business!

Spent money on Facebook ads training, launch strategies, and marketing blueprints that promised "zero to six figures" success—only to find yourself still stuck?In this vulnerable episode, I'm sharing the costly mistakes I made following voices motivated by worldly success instead of Kingdom advancement.

It's about learning to hear God's voice above all the noise, understanding what foundation comes FIRST, and building a Spirit-led author platform that actually aligns with your calling.If you're tired of chasing "successful author" formulas that leave you feeling like a failure, ready to stop comparing your behind-the-scenes to everyone else's highlight reel, and hungry for GOD to break in—turn up the volume, because this episode will set you up for heavenly transformation.Mentioned in this episode: Proverbs 14:12, Psalm 127:1, James 1:5, Matthew 7:24-27🔥 Get priority access to Revive to Thrive™👉 Listen now to uncover the secret to becoming an anointed scribe!Support the show_________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 🔥 There’s only one way to real breakthrough in your author business!

• 53 | The Competitive Heart I Didn't Know I Had - My Journey from Envy to Freedom

  Send me a message!For years, I congratulated other Christian authors on their success. But then I'd close my laptop and feel this weird heaviness in my chest. Why them and not me?I didn't recognize it for what it was: a competitive heart quietly poisoning my calling.In this vulnerable episode, I'm sharing a season of my journey I don't talk about often—when God exposed the scarcity mindset I'd imported from the publishing industry straight into my faith. When I realized I was competing for a spot in His Kingdom that was already mine. And when He finally showed me what abundance actually looks like.If you've ever felt that same heaviness when another author succeeds, if you've caught yourself comparing instead of celebrating—this one's for you. Because there's a way out.🔥 Want to transform your author business?
