Feeling the nudge to write a book—but the questions, distractions, and doubts keep pushing it further down the list?

In today’s encouraging and clarifying conversation, I’m joined by Dalene Bickel, founder of Lasting Legacies Publishing, host of the Ink and Impact podcast, and a trusted guide for Christian authors navigating both calling and craft.

We talk about:

Why every business owner should consider writing a book—and the authority and longevity it creates
How to evaluate self-publishing vs. traditional publishing through a stewardship lens
The real distractions that keep women from writing—external pressure and internal fear

Dalene reminds us that writing a book is not a quick project, but a 12–18 month journey—which is exactly why knowing your why matters. When you don’t write the book God placed on your heart, you miss opportunities to serve and bless others. But when you do, clarity deepens, trust grows, and your message becomes a lasting legacy that continues working long after you do.

If you’ve been wondering whether your story matters—or which publishing path fits your book, brand, and bottom line—this conversation will help you move forward with wisdom and confidence that you can feel to your core.
