283. Big Announcement: Behind the Scenes of Writing My First Book—What I Invested, What I Learned, & Why Writing One Might Be Part of Your Big Next

YOUR BIG NEXT | business growth, leadership development, scaling with purpose, faith and family first entrepreneur

This episode is one I’ve been waiting a long time to record—because I’m finally sharing the behind-the-scenes story of writing my book, Your Big Next.

This wasn’t just a business decision or a growth strategy—it was a calling. A year-long, soul-stretching process that asked more of me than I ever imagined. And in this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it actually looked like to pour my heart, beliefs, and vision onto the page.

I’m talking about the emotional rollercoaster, the spiritual lessons, the financial commitment—and why I chose to write this book now. You’ll hear what the title means to me, how life threw me a few curveballs in the middle of it all, and why this book is something I hope outlives me.

If you’ve ever thought about writing a book—or you’re in a season where you’re being called to create something deeper—this episode is for you.

Here’s what I share:

📖 Why Your Big Next is more than just a book—it’s a legacy

💭 The mindset shifts and emotional work that come with authorship

🛠 The hardest parts of the writing and editing process

💡 How writing a book has impacted both my business and my soul

🎁 Practical encouragement for aspiring authors (and a free playbook to help you get started)

This journey stretched me in all the right ways, and my hope is that sharing it encourages you to step into your own Big Next—even if it scares you.
