Listen Closer: Believing God’s Truth Over the World’s Lies

Because your thoughts shape your story, and it's time to tell a new one.

Ever catch yourself believing something that just isn’t true?
Lies about your worth, your purpose, your identity?

Yeah, me too.

For years, I heard voices that told me I wasn’t enough, that fear would win, or that joy was just for other people. But the truth? God has something entirely different to say.

My Debut Book:

In these pages, I’ll walk alongside you like a friend and a fellow traveler. Drawing from my 17 years as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and now as your go-to home + heart encourager, I’m sharing daily reflections, Scripture-based truths, and practical tips to help you:

  • Quiet the noise of the world
  • Hear God’s voice with clarity
  • Walk confidently in who you are

You ready? Let’s go there, together.

What if you could rewrite the script playing in your head?

Introducing Listen Closer: a 31-day journey to help you recognize the lies, replace them with God’s truth, and reclaim the joy you were made for.

Why We Need This Book

The Lies Are Loud

The world’s lies are loud, and convincing. They tell us we’re not enough, that we should fear more than we hope, and that beauty matters more than soul.

And They Start to Shape Us

These messages don’t just stay in our heads, they affect how we live. They keep us stuck, small, and unsure of who we really are. Over time, we forget what truth even sounds like.

But There’s a Better Way

God’s Word tells a different story. One full of purpose, peace, and promise. Listen Closer invites you to turn down the noise and tune into the truth that never changes.

A Gentle, Guided Journey

Every day for 31 days, I’ll walk with you through Scripture-based reflections, stories, and questions that will help you identify the lies, reframe your thoughts, and draw closer to the voice that speaks life.

The Transformation Begins Here

You don’t have to stay stuck in old thought patterns. Together, we’ll invite God into the conversation and watch how His truth begins to reshape everything, from the inside out.
