Today on Smart Girl Summer, I’m joined by the incredible Becky Thompson—bestselling author and one of the most authentic voices of our generation. Her books, Hope Unfolding and God So Close, have reached millions with their heartfelt truth and undeniable grace.
Becky has this beautiful way of showing up right in the middle of the mess and gently pointing women back to the heart of God. She’s not just another voice online—she’s a soul leader, a deep-feeler, and a truth-teller in a world that loves to filter everything.
If you’ve ever felt the tug to write, to create, to impact others with your words, this episode is your invitation. We’re peeling back the curtain on what it really takes to build a writing career that’s rooted in calling, not clout.
I hope Becky’s words stir something in you. Let’s get into it!
