From Silent Scribbles to Spotlight: How Leah Vidal Carrosquilla Lit Up the Sky for Teenage Boys

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.

What You’ll Learn in this Episode:

🎯 1. When the Resource Doesn't Exist, You Create It

Leah couldn't find a devotional designed specifically for teenage boys who are athletes—so she wrote one.
📝 Her son’s offhanded comment ("This is cool, Mom") sparked a realization: boys need spiritual guidance too, but it must be designed for how they think and feel.

Takeaway: Sometimes, the solution you're searching for is the one you're meant to build.

💔 2. Grief Can Be the Gateway to Purpose

Leah started writing again after losing both her mother and brother. The absence of their morning coffee chats became an ache that eventually transformed into a devotion practice with God—and that daily habit opened the floodgates of healing and creativity.

Takeaway: Heartbreak often births the most honest, impactful stories—when we let ourselves write through it.

📚 3. A Single Comment Can Silence… or Ignite
