Have you always wanted to write a book, but don’t know where to start?
Is it hard to stay focused with so many distractions pulling at your time?
Do you wonder if it’s too late to finally finish the story on your heart?
Are you struggling to build a consistent writing habit — no matter how badly you want to?
I’m so glad you’re here! This podcast will help you finally finish your first clean, faith-aligned novel, glorify God through your writing, and build confidence in your voice — one simple, step-by-step episode at a time.
Hey, I’m Kathleen — a Christian author, writing mentor, and former homeschool mom who knows what it’s like to carry a story in your heart for years. I started late, battled distraction and self-doubt, and wondered if I’d missed my chance — but God had other plans.
I tried forcing myself into secular writing spaces, following industry advice that left out faith, and pretending I could figure it out alone — but none of it worked. I felt lost, frustrated, and like maybe I wasn’t cut out for this after all.
What finally worked? I stopped waiting for the perfect conditions, studied how to write a book, and built a step-by-step process to help me finish my first clean, Christian novel — without compromising my faith, values, or voice.
If you’re ready to finally write the clean, Christian novel that’s been on your heart for years…
If you want step-by-step support, faith-rooted guidance, and a process that fits your real life — not someone else’s — this podcast is for you.
Grab your notebook and that lukewarm coffee (we both know you reheated it twice already) — it’s time to start writing.
