3-The Story You Were Made to Tell

I’m diving deep into the mission behind StoryMakers—why I started this podcast, what I hope you’ll take away, and how I want to empower you to step into the story God is writing for you. This isn't just another self-help show—it's a movement of women rising up, taking back their voices, and walking boldly in their calling.

I’ll also answer key questions like:
✔ What is the heart behind this podcast?
✔ Who is it for, and what will you gain from it?
✔ How does your past story shape your future?
✔ Why do we need a "village" of support as women?
✔ How do we stop living in a backstory of fear and step into a future of faith?

By the end of this episode, you’ll understand exactly why you are here, why your story matters, and how this podcast will help you become the woman God created you to be.

Key Takeaways:

1. You Are Not Just a Listener—You Are a StoryMaker. This podcast is about helping you take ownership of your life and step into the next chapter with clarity and confidence.
2. Your Past Does Not Define You—Your Future Story Is Yours to Write. You are not stuck. The thoughts and beliefs you hold about yourself can be transformed through the renewal of your mind.
3. We Need a Village—And This Is One. Women were never meant to figure things out alone. This podcast is about building a supportive community where you feel seen, empowered, and equipped to grow.
