Did you ever carry something so heavy that silence feels safer?

In this episode of The Published Pearl, I’m joined by Brittany Poppe (pronounced “Poppy”) — Christian Abortion Recovery Coach, pro-life speaker, and host of the globally ranked top 2% podcast Abortion Recovery for Christian Women. Brittany shares her story with honesty and tenderness: growing up with faith, losing her dad young, falling into a double life, choosing abortion out of fear, and the decade of unhealed grief that followed.

We talk about the specific lies the enemy uses before and after abortion, what healing actually looked like for Brittany, and why God often calls us to speak about the very thing we’d rather hide. If you’ve ever wondered whether grace reaches that part of your story… friend, this episode is for you.

Healing begins where hiding ends. 💛

In today’s conversation, I’m dismantling 9 myths that keep powerful Christian leaders from writing their signature book — including:

• “I need more time.”

• “I need a bigger platform.”

• “Traditional publishing is the only valid path.”

• “What if people criticize me?”

• “Books don’t actually grow a business.”

And the real reason most Christian CEOs delay writing their book.

If you are building a Kingdom-centered business rooted in influence, frameworks, and intellectual property, your book is not optional. It is an authority engine.

00:00 Myth 1: I Need More Time

02:54 Myth 2: I Need a Bigger Platform First

03:50 Myth 3: Traditional Publishing is the Only Path

04:54 Myth 4: Self-Published Books Aren't Credible

06:49 Myth 5: I'm Not an Author

07:50 Myth 6: Now is Not the Right Time

09:07 Myth 7: Fear of Criticism

10:31 Myth 8: Books Don't Grow a Business

11:24 Myth 9: I'll Write It Later

Have you ever wondered if grief could ever give way to genuine laughter again? Or sensed the weight of sorrow so heavy it silenced even your brightest smile? In this episode, Dr. Jerry Woodbridge—widow, educator, and author—shares how she turned her own heartbreak into hope for countless children and families. Stay with us to discover the unexpected path from loss to joy… and why one little girl’s voice became the heartbeat of a healing story.

🎙️ About Dr. Jerry Woodbridge

 • Christian author & grief educator specializing in children’s grief support

 • Widow since 2004 who guided her own children—and hundreds more—through sorrow

 • Creator of Joy Overcame Sorrow (children’s book), Joy’s Journal (guide for grieving kids), and Trading My Sorrows for Joy

🔑 Key Takeaways

 1. From Ballroom Dancing to Books

 • How learning to dance six months after losing her husband opened the door to writing for grieving children.

 2. Faith at the Core

 • Why Jerry insists on including Scripture—because only the Holy Spirit can truly move sorrow into joy.

 3. Children Need Compassion, Not Quick Fixes

 • Grief is abstract; kids think in concrete terms. Journaling, memory “shrines,” and simple rituals guide them forward.

 4. Sympathy vs. Empathy

 • Cards and casseroles help… for a minute. Showing up months later, asking “How can I pray for you?” changes everything.

 5. A Voice That Resonates

 • How 4th-grader feedback not only fine-tuned the story but reminded Jerry that authentic children’s voices are the best editors.

 6. Churches & Communities

 • Practical steps for pastors, teachers, and neighbors to build ongoing support for widows, orphans, and grieving families.

Are you struggling to **improve writing** skills and maintain a **daily writing** schedule? This video offers practical **writing tips** to help you overcome **writer's block** and cultivate a lasting **habit**. Discover strategies to enhance your skills and stay inspired!

Have you felt stuck in your writing—like there’s a mountain between you and that finished manuscript? In this video, I pull back the curtain on the three things every aspiring author needs to conquer before they can hold their book in hand:

 • Belief: What inner story are you telling yourself? (Spoiler: your unspoken beliefs fuel your emotions, and your emotions drive your actions.)

 • Systems: How do you break a huge goal into bite-size tasks—complete with timelines, checklists, and weekly check-ins?

 • Guidance: Who’s pouring into you—whether it’s an editor, a coach, or a Facebook community—to keep you accountable and confident that you’re on the right path?

I share my own story of co-authoring a college statistics textbook (yes, really!) and how we went from serving the students in our classroom to serving thousands of readers around the globe. You’ll hear how we:

 1. Listed every single step (even the chapter openers we didn’t know we needed).

 2. Assigned responsibility and met every Wednesday—no excuses, plenty of grace.

 3. Built a team of editors, designers, and marketing pros who kept us honest and on schedule.

Ready to climb your mountain? Take today’s poll in our Facebook group and let me know:

 • Are you still figuring out how to start?

 • Is self-doubt making you rewrite the same paragraph forever?

 • Or do you need a map through the publishing maze—query letters, contracts, and all that?

🔔 Don’t miss an episode! Subscribe and hit the bell so you never wonder what’s holding you back again.

👍 If this spoke to you, give it a thumbs up and share in the comments where you’re stuck on the mountain.

See you at the summit! ❤️📖🙌
