unExpectedly Successful

We understand the power of the names. These authors share their bold decision to challenge themselves to face a chapter of their life where they picked up names that labeled their story. This episode shares the journey of bold and courageous women sharing their own transformative journeys by being called to write a chapter of their story. In a heartfelt gathering of the souls, visionary author Cecily Cooper and six of the co-authors discuss the collaborative work leading to the publication of the book "The Transformative Power of a Name." This isn't your typical book discussion —it's a revelation of identity, purpose, and the spiritual lineage that binds us as children of God.

Our conversation wove through each author's life—therapists, CEOs, educators, pharmacists—each revealing the profound impact of their stories of growth, boldness, and metamorphosis. We didn't just talk about putting pen to paper; we opened up about the challenges, the joys, and more about sharing our deepest truths. At the center of the conversation, faith has emerged as the foundation of our resilience and success.

Whether you're an aspiring author, or someone seeking purpose or simply pursuing inspiration, this episode will guide you toward a life of intention and calling.
