Through the StrongHerMe Facebook group I learned that several women in the community are writing books. For the month of April I'm interviewing women who are making their living within the publishing industry. Get your notepads ready. No more excuses! It’s time to start pushing your words out into the world.
Today’s guest is Chilesa Ready is a wife and mom of 3. She is a certified Biblical counselor, a writing coach and an author of two books: Living the Limitless Life and The Five Week Marriage Tune Up Devotional. She served with her husband of 19 years Marcus, as Marriage Ministry Director before relocating to Phoenix.
In this episode we talk about the discipline of writing a book. We discuss the importance of authenticity as an author, the difference between an editor and a writing coach and the role of the editor in producing a well written book.
“Writing a book is a marathon not a sprint.”
"The book you write is only a book that you can write."

LaToya is a professional editor and writer who has guided coaches, entrepreneurs, veterans, moms, corporate professionals, ministers, and soon YOU toward self-publishing a book. Her superpower is getting your book out of your head and onto the page. With 15 years of experience and a couple of degrees under her belt, she helps aspiring authors annihilate procrastination, fear, and excuses by motivating them to write well and write now by just writing.
In this episode we do a deep dive into self publishing: costs to expect and what to invest your money in, should you request reviewers to sign an NDA agreement, copyrighting your book title and we even discuss what do you do if you have a story to tell but writing isn’t your strength? Her response to that question was worth listening to the entire podcast.
"Content is not lost or destroyed it is just transferred. Use what you already have." -LaToya Thompson

Through the StrongHerMe Facebook group I learned that several women in the community are writing books. For the month of April I'm interviewing women who are making their living within the publishing industry. I originally only planned on interviewing 3 women, but discovered a 4th. They all share a unique perspective. I thought it would be fun to ask a few friends who've written & published books to share their wisdom. Several of them have and I’ll be sharing clips from them on podcast and social media. You will be equipped and encouraged this month. Get your notepads ready. No more excuses! It’s time to start pushing your words out into the world.
For this week's podcast episode, I talk with Titania Paige. She is a wife and mom of a newborn. She founded her first blog and ministry LifeBeforeEternity.com in August 2016. There, she spurs the modern woman onto enduring faith as she awaits her eternal crown. (James 1:12). On her personal site, TitaniaPaige.com, she helps women embrace passion and purity, so they can live out their God-given purpose. Join her Tuesdays for the latest episode of “The Purpose in Purity Podcast.”
Titania is Liberty University graduate with a Bachelor’s Degree in Christian Counseling, as well as a First 5 app writer. Download the app, created by Proverbs 31 Ministries, to study God’s word with her during your quiet time.
In this episode we talk about remaining flexible in your calling, the multiple benefits of blogging, how a website freebie became the best product she’s ever made and how she acquired a book agent and her traditional publishing journey.

Before you go…
The growth circle, and the tools provided like the workbook, will help silence the voice of self doubt long enough for the truth of how God sees you to penetrate your heart and mind. Transformation is a process and I will walk you through a framework for being more intentional in that process. As you walk with me and the women in the circle, you’ll become more confident in your womanhood, more courageous in your work and more consistent in your worship.
Full details at StrongHerMeCoaching.com. Our first session starts soon. I’m working on a video to answer questions you might have about the program. It will be posted at @StrongHerMe on IG this week. You can also email me at Kendra@StrongHer.me to schedule a call.
