Wildly Free Stories: Going Scared

Hey friends!Welcome to the first episode of our Summer Series! I am so excited to finally share this series with you. These conversations have been months in the making, and I can’t wait for you to hear the incredible stories of women who have experienced greater freedom by saying yes to God’s leading. In this episode, I’m joined by Lizzy of EO Writes—an author, illustrator, and creative who has courageously followed God’s call on her life. While pursuing opportunities in corporate America and striving to walk through every door available to her, Lizzy began to sense the Lord gently calling her in a different direction. In a season where she felt weary and burdened, God made it clear that He was inviting her to leave her corporate career and “come work for Him.” Our conversation explores what it looks like to surrender our plans, trust God’s leading, and embrace the unique way He has created us. Lizzy shares how true joy, contentment, and fulfillment are found not in striving, but in agreeing with God’s design for our lives and walking faithfully in it. In this episode, we discuss: * Lizzie’s story of leaving a stable job to pursue her writing dreams * The role of faith and trusting God in the process of stepping out * Overcoming fear and security lies that hold us back * The importance of trusting your unique wiring and finding joy in it * Practical tips for self-publishing and illustrating your own books * The power of taking multiple steps of faith despite the fear I pray this conversation encourages you to trust God’s direction and take your next step in faith, knowing that His plans for you are always good.Resources & Links: * EOWrites.com [https://eowrites.com/] — Lizzie’s website * Unstuck: A Self-Publishing Guide [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FC33TF94] — Lizzie’s book on self-publishing * Amazon - Lizzie’s Books [https://www.amazon.com/stores/EO-Writes/author/B0DPB2YK8W?ref=ap_rdr&shoppingPortalEnabled=true&ccs_id=9f50bb9b-16cb-40be-ad3a-7baa3fcc929e] — Find all her titles on Amazon This episode is a reminder that God’s plan is always the best plan.

Wildly Free Stories Trailer

Hey Friends! I’m so excited to announce our summer series on The Wildly Free Podcast. I had this idea this winter and I’m so excited to see it actually happening. In the next 6 weeks I am going to interview 6 women giving us their story of letting go, stepping out in faith, and seeing God move in unexpected ways ultimately to bring them into more freedom to be who God created them to be. The heart of this series is to remind you that you are not alone and my prayer is that you’ll walk away empowered and encouraged to take that next step of faith, that leap, that jump. You’re not alone. I’ve been there. And so many other women have been too.
