Unstoppable Writers

I'm preparing for a 3-night solo retreat, my annual tradition to reset—spiritually, emotionally and creatively) after a full summer. But before I leave, I wanted to drop this in your inbox. It's a video I recorded on one of the questions I hear most from writers: Am I really called to write? Or is this just me? If you've ever felt a quiet nudge you can't quite explain, this is for you. Watch: 4 Ways to Discern If God Is Calling You to Write → It's worth every minute. Stay curious and keep...

At the end of every Momentum Mastermind and Book Liftoff session, I ask writers to do one thing before we say goodbye. Set a mini goal for the week. Just one small, doable thing. And we do the same thing at every Write With Us Retreat at the beginning of the three cowriting sessions. I do this on purpose. Here's why: big goals are beautiful, but life happens. And when life interrupts a big goal, it's easy to feel shame about how long it's taking. That shame is heavy, and it makes us avoid the...

Hey Reader, Can I tell you something I've never forgotten? When I first started my writing journey, I felt so alone. Like I was the only one carrying this strange, stubborn calling to put words on a page and wondering if it even mattered. The first time I went to a meetup with other writers, I sat in my car afterward and cried. Not sad tears. Relief tears. It hit me, I'm not the only one. There are others who feel this pull to wrestle with words and share them with others. That moment changed...

CULTIVATE COURAGE is officially live in paperback—and I’m so excited to share it with you. This book is for writers who feel called to write... but find themselves stuck between intention and consistency. If you’ve ever thought: Why is this so hard to start? Why can’t I stay consistent?

What it is: A 30-day devotional designed to help you: show up to the page in real life (not ideal conditions)...

“If there’s a book you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.” —Toni Morrison When I first heard that quote, something deep inside me whispered, Yes.Not just yes to writing a book…but yes to writing a writing life that didn’t exist yet either. Because the truth is:I longed for a writing community that I couldn’t find anywhere. A community that was: ✨ Spirit-led, not algorithm-driven ✨ rooted in faith, not comparison ✨ gentle instead of competitive ✨ consistent...

Hey Unstoppable Writers,This weekend was a whirlwind—boxes everywhere, coffee cups missing in action, and a few happy tears as we stepped into our new home. 🏡 I’m sharing a little picture from our unpacking chaos because honestly, this season feels symbolic: God’s been helping me make room—physically and spiritually—for what’s next. And what’s next makes my heart beat fast:The 6-Week Spiritual Direction for Unstoppable Writers begins this Thursday.Unstoppable Writers™ Five beautiful souls...

Hey Unstoppable Writer, If we only had 10 minutes together over coffee, I’d tell you this: Don’t wait.Don’t wait for the perfect moment, or the right season, or for your schedule to magically clear. Don’t wait until you feel “ready.” (Spoiler alert: most writers never do.) Regret is the one thing you’ll never want attached to your book. And friend—God doesn’t give us stories so we can sit on them. I know how easy it is to delay because: You don’t feel like you’re “good enough” yet You’re not...

Hey Reader, It’s Monday. I’m sitting at Starbucks. So far, I’ve managed to get two really big things done: Writing this email My morning pages ☕✍️ But the small thing I did? I checked the latest update on Ryan Trahan’s 50 States in 50 Days fundraiser for St. Jude. Our family’s been watching it together each day, and honestly—he’s a master storyteller. The way he invites his viewers into the journey (and this epic cause) is wildly inspiring. There are so many takeaways for writers: → how to...

Reader, Launch week rarely looks how I envision it. I start with an ambitious to-do list: 20+ tasks. Then reality hits. It’s my son’s last week of school which includes a half day Thursday followed by an end-of-year party at a friend’s house. Friday is the first official day of his summer. So I begrudgingly grab a Sharpie and cut my list down to the essentials. And this email? It’s one of them. Because part of the writing journey is learning to cultivate courage even when the path doesn’t...
