I’m re-releasing this 2017 episode because Eryn Lynum will be returning with a five-year update. Next week you’ll hear how her dream has changed (significantly in some ways and not so much in others). Give this re-release a listen to see where she’s come from, especially if publishing a book could be part of your dream. Then, come back next week to hear what’s changed in wildly beautiful ways since Eryn and I last spoke.
257 || How to Thrive in the Refining Fire of Bringing Your Dream into the Public Eye || Ainsley Britain
Have you been keeping your dream to yourself? Making your work public is an act of vulnerability. Writers, artists, and dreamers know what it feels like to share something beyond a small, trusted circle and afterwards experience a vulnerability hangover. In this episode, Ainsley Britain shares one painful but a necessary part of making your dream more public, how to work from overflow rather than exhaustion, and practical tips on planning your days to reach writing milestones even with a baby at home.
134 || Because Your Dream Is Not Too Big for God || Rachel Pellegrino
In the midst of grief, Rachel Pellegrino couldn’t have imagined what she’d be doing today; the dream to publish children’s books wasn’t even on her radar. But a few business courses, lots of prayer, a conversation with her husband, and some outreach to people in an industry she’d never worked in brought this dream to fruition. Today, she’s building a legacy for her daughter, serving families in search of high-quality, values-based books for kids, and helping authors launch their books into the world.
054 || How She Got Her Book Published Even with a Small Platform || Eryn Lynum
Eryn Lynum lives in Northern Colorado with her husband and three boys, where they spend their time hiking, camping, and exploring the Rocky Mountains. Her work and passion is to come alongside of authors and help them market the message God has laid on their hearts. She loves to travel and share at conferences, churches, and writers’ groups. But every opportunity she gets, she is out exploring God’s creation with her family.
As the author of 936 Pennies: Discovering the Joy of Intentional Parenting, available in February of 2018, Eryn talks about the shift towards intentional parenting that happened when she and her husband were faced with the reality that they have only 936 weeks – from birth to 18 – with each of their three boys.
