Unleashing Joy, Fulfilling Purpose, Writing & Publishing

#20 BIG BIRTHDAY REVEAL: A Milestone Birthday Inspires a Fresh Start

Two joyful women—second half of life host and author Christine Boersma Smith and Katelyn Silva interview each other about writing books as prompted by the Holy Spirit and radiating joy! They discuss the writing journey, the inner work that takes place even while writing, and communicating Biblical principles. The importance of connecting with a community for seasoned women of faith, which Christine facilitates, or with a community for writers is also stressed. Christine’s new book, “Joy-Full Seasoned Women: A Guide to Bearing Fruit and Radiating Joy in Your Second Half” was going to print as this episode was released, and Katelyn has provided much appreciated mentorship and publishing expertise. Katelyn Silva is the 6x bestselling author of thirteen books, some under a pen name. She is a God-fearing devoted wife and homeschooling mother of four. She is the founder of We Write Books, Coffee Date with Jesus, and is the host of the 1 Minute Writing Tip podcast. She works with Holy Spirit-led women to get clarity on their book idea, confidently write and publish a bestseller, and use it as a tool for impact, authority, and accomplishing their God-given purpose. She believes every person has a unique story worth telling and that your book can change a life. Christine encourages Christian women in their second half of life to live with more inner joy, holy boldness, and fruitfulness so they may embrace the blessings, surprises, and challenges of this season of life with grace and confidence. She’s a ray of sunshine for those navigating the fog and late afternoon of their lives. A Benedictine-trained spiritual director and transformational coach with twelve years of experience in healing and cleansing prayer ministry, Christine’s passion is to partner with the Holy Spirit and encourage seasoned women to connect with one another and share meaningfully. She loves to help women be more joyful and fruitful: aligned with God, being who we really are, with holy and loving hearts. #connectwithoneanother #seasonedwomen #radiatingjoy #innerjoy #secondhalfoflife #joyfulwomen #HolySpirit #healing #writing #publishing #writingjourney #holyboldness #bestseller #booklaunch
