For the second time on the Clean Heart Club Podcast, it’s just me behind the mic! 🎙️ In this special solo episode, I share the story behind my brand-new book, Hello, You! Being Yourself in a World that Wants You to Be Everyone Else.

This conversation is part behind-the-scenes, part encouragement, and part invitation to step into the freedom of becoming your true self in Christ.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode

• The surprising way this book project began during my Master Coach training
  

• How fear, people-pleasing, and old habits surfaced—and how God used coaching, journaling, and Scripture to bring healing
  

• The baby steps that helped me move forward when writing felt overwhelming
  

• Why reflection questions matter and how they’re helping readers dig deeper
  

• A sneak peek at all 15 chapter titles
  

• Scriptures and favorite quotes woven throughout (Psalm 139, Romans 12, C.S. Lewis, Dallas Willard, L.M. Montgomery, and more)
  

• A heartfelt excerpt from the introduction and a closing prayer for you
