It's that time of the year when you're gearing up to set new goals… but instead of feeling excited, you feel defeated.

If you’re ending 2025 feeling worn out from all the effort you poured in—and still wondering why the results didn’t match the work—this episode is going to meet you right where you are.

Today, I’m sharing a moment from my own author journey when discouragement hit before I even started planning for the new year. And more importantly, the unexpected shift God brought that completely changed how I now approach my goals, my work, and my author business.

Inside this episode, you’ll hear:

🖋️ A deeper look at the real source of that “What’s the point?” feeling

🖋️ The one thing Christian authors often skip when they rush into goal-setting

🖋️ Why your effort may not be showing visible fruit yet—and what that actually means

🖋️ A fresh, faith-filled shift that can change how you step into 2026

This isn’t a pep talk or productivity lecture. It’s a heart reset—one that brings clarity, peace, and grounded direction for the year ahead.

You’ll also hear about two resources designed to help you move forward with intention:

🤔 The “What’s Keeping You Stuck?” Quiz

It's that time of year—everyone's setting goals, making resolutions, and planning their 2026 author business. But what if one word could give you more clarity than a hundred strategies?

In this episode, I'm sharing why I personally choose a Word of the Year, how it's kept me focused and grounded for 8 years, and the quiz I use every single year to help me discern what that word should be.

This isn't a "you must do this" episode. It's simply me sharing my experience with a practice that's transformed how I approach my author business—and inviting you to try it if it resonates.

I'm also sharing how my last three words turned out to be prophetic—revealed years before God would call me to create this podcast and The Revive to Thrive Way™. He was already naming what He was about to birth through me, and I couldn't have known that at the start of each of these years.

If you're heading into 2026 feeling scattered, overwhelmed, or unclear about what to focus on—this practice might help you too.

Plus, I'm sharing my collection of river stones with 8 years of words written on them—and how looking back, I can clearly see how each word was the foundation of that year, often in ways I never expected.

Scripture referenced: Ecclesiastes 3:1 (a time for everything), Proverbs 4:25-27 (fix your gaze), Proverbs 16:9 and 19:21 (hold plans loosely)

Perfect for: Christian authors feeling scattered, anyone overwhelmed by conflicting advice, writers looking for focus in 2026, those wanting practical ways to align with God's plan

It's almost the end of 2025, and instead of gratitude, you're drowning in guilt.

The books you didn't finish. The goals you didn't hit. The platform that didn't grow. Everyone else is posting their year-end wins—12 books published, six-figure incomes, USA Today bestseller lists—and you're wondering if you wasted an entire year.

But what if you're measuring the wrong things?

What if God sees your 2025 completely differently than you do?

In this vulnerable episode, I'm sharing my own disappointing 2025—an unexpected international move that disrupted every plan, left books unwritten, and income goals unmet. And yet, God revealed something that completely changed how I see this year.

If you're heading into December feeling like you failed at your calling, this episode will shift your perspective.

We're talking about the metrics God actually cares about (spoiler: they're not book counts or bestseller lists), why "unproductive" seasons might be God's most important ones, and the one thing most Christian authors are forgetting as they measure their year.

This isn't toxic positivity. This is about learning to see what God sees—and discovering He might be celebrating things you haven't even noticed.

Because friend, what if the guilt you're carrying isn't from God at all?

Scripture referenced: Psalm 103:1-2, 1 Thessalonians 5:18, Ecclesiastes 3:1, Philippians 4:6-7, Isaiah 43:19

Perfect for: Christian authors feeling like failures, anyone comparing their year to others' highlight reels, writers carrying guilt about "unproductive" seasons, those ready to finish 2025 strong.

Turn up the volume—this one will help you see your year through God's eyes instead of the world's.
