The Confident Writer's Guide to Finding Your Voice and Validating Your Idea
You've dreamed of being a writer for years. It's time to start doing it.
Maybe you've stuffed half-written manuscripts in the drawer for years or journaled in private for decades. You want to write to encourage and strengthen other women in a public space, but...
You don't know where to start.
You're a beginner writer afraid of making mistakes.
You've already written a few posts but hear crickets every time.
You're not sure who you're writing to.
You think you can't do this because you're not a "real writer."
When I started writing online, I believed I couldn't write something people would actually want to read.
I feared failure. I doubted I was a writer.
And even when those thoughts subsided, I couldn't decide what to write about.
I'm a pastor's wife, so I could've written devotionals for women with men behind the pulpit.
Or, I could have journaled about our journey to get pregnant naturally after years of infertility and miscarriage.
After much trial and error, however, I finally discovered my "zone of genius," where I could put my energy in a writing ministry (and career!) that impacted people. (It's helping other writers improve their writing craft and life, in case you're curious.)
And you can too.
For the last few years, I was following a three-step process I didn't even realize was setting me up for success.
You'll learn the same three-step process to create foundational habits for a lifelong writing ministry you not only LOVE but that impacts others too.
This course is for the Christian nonfiction writer who is tired of just "dabbling," letting fear win the day. You're ready to build a writing ministry you love.
It's not only possible--but FUN--to pursue your calling as a writer. You CAN work through your fears and failures and come out the other end a stronger writer.
Before you spend months--or even years--trying to gain traction, this course will give you the tools to create momentum that lasts.

“The biggest hurdle I was experiencing in my writing was feeling the pressure to do what others are doing. Mikaela helped me to shed limiting beliefs and labels I didn't know I had and find my own unique voice again! So often I would think "I'm not sure what we could talk about in today's session," but Mikaela is an amazing listener and was always able to pick up on something I wasn't noticing. She is a huge help and highly recommend her coaching!”
Lanna Andersen“Mikaela helped me sort through the jumbled mess of thoughts that have been hindering me from making progress with my writing goals. She helped me reframe negative thoughts, develop attainable action plans, and point me in the right direction, as I’ve lacked clarity in how I want to proceed with editing and publication. I would highly recommend Mikaela to any writer!”
