What if the story you were afraid to speak… was the one someone desperately needed to hear?
In this raw, radiant, and revealing first-ever podcast interview, I sit down with writer and first-time speaker Leah Vidal Carrosquilla (aka Little Miss Wordy), author of Light Up the Sky—a 365-day devotional crafted for young male athletes craving strength, faith, and self-worth in a world full of noise.
But Queen, this episode is so much more than a chat about publishing a book. It’s a behind-the-scenes breakdown of what it means to transform personal grief into global impact. Leah takes us on an intimate journey from coffee chats with her late mom to hearing God’s nudge to "write the dang thing" for her son—when nothing else on the shelves spoke his language.
You’ll hear how one teacher’s words nearly crushed her writing dreams—and how her own storytelling superpower resurrected them. We explore identity, healing, and what happens when you stop hiding behind the page and start owning your voice (even in a Mad Hatter costume, yep!).
If you’ve ever doubted your right to be heard, THIS is your sign to speak your truth—out loud.
🎧 Press play and let this episode be the permission slip your soul’s been waiting for.

Leah couldn't find a devotional designed specifically for teenage boys who are athletes—so she wrote one.
