“Writing the Story on Your Heart” 8-Week Crash Course

With this online course, you are invited into a personal and intimate experience that will finally move you from dreaming about writing your first book to taking actionable steps towards getting it done. It’s a staggering statistic: Only 3% of people who start the journey of writing their first book ever finish it. But with the right support, guidance, and encouragement, you can be part of that small but powerful group—and I’m here to help you get there.

Why Share Your Story?

You’re not here by accident, friend — Your story carries purpose and power. It’s about more than just your journey; it’s about divine collision points and the many lives your words will impact, encourage, and uplift. No matter what kind of book you write, God can use your voice in extraordinary ways. Obedience and commitment to His heart and call often turns the very key that unlocks our prophetic destiny. Lean in, my friend! Shine bright! Be bold! And never underestimate the value and reach of your faith in action.

About the Course:

I wrote my book, A Time to Dance: Chasing Joy in Difficult Seasons, in 2021 and self-published in the following year. Since then, many people have asked me for guidance on how to begin writing their own book. That interest sparked the idea for this e-course—A space to share helpful tips, tools, and encouragement to get you started on your own writing journey. This writing workshop was built to be beginner friendly and pressure free. It was designed to encourage a come-as-you-are atmosphere because there will always be room at our table for the authentic you!

During the course, you’ll receive weekly words of encouragement, an abundance of printable and/or ready-to-watch resources, and several personal challenges designed for support and accountability. My goal is to help you find your voice, break through your emotional barriers, and remove the overwhelm so you can write with freedom, joy, passion, and purpose. Our weekly Zoom meetings also provide a great space for community, support, and some amazing Q&A sessions! Just ask our previous attendees!

Please Note: This course does not focus on traditional publishing, as my personal journey was rooted in self-publishing and sharing my story in a raw, authentic way. While I have nothing against traditional publishing—and even include many insights from experts in that space—my experience is limited in that area. Because of that, I won’t be offering step-by-step guidance on how to get a book deal. However, if traditional publishing is your goal, you can still use this course to begin writing and shaping your story.
