What happens when life forces you to start from scratch?
In this episode, I share how The Book Advantage, my first podcast, planted the seeds for something deeper, but never quite scratched the surface of why stories matter. It was beautiful, but it wasn’t the whole truth. I enjoyed the interviews, the insights, the flow… but I was craving more—connection, reflection, calling.
Then came the accident. The silence. The blank page.
This is the story of what came next.
I open up about my painful recovery—how it stripped me of my voice, my independence, and left me staring at a notebook with nothing to say… until I remembered who I was.
Through 50+ books, divine stillness, and middle schoolers who wouldn’t stop asking when the next episode was coming, I found my way back to the mic.
This is where The Book Advantage ended… and The Living Story began.
📖 Includes a nod to The Outsiders, reflections on healing, how God speaks in silence, and how storytelling became a sacred lifeline.
