Vanessa has been such an inspiration to me in the author space, and in this episode she’s as authentic as ever. We chat about tackling creative burnout, battling the comparison game, and the surprising moment she made me realize I actually do edit as I go.

Most authors won’t change their book covers mid series, but Vanessa had a very good reason for doing this, and she talks us through it. But also, how her faith influences the stories she writes, and small glimpse of what it looks like to juggle motherhood and authorship.

We also dig into subscription boxes, hybrid publishing, and why trying again doesn’t mean you’re behind—it means you’re still in the game.

Plus, my border collie puppy makes a guest appearance!
