In this episode of Overwhelmed to Overcomer, Anna McLaughlin is joined by Kristen Chadwick, a Kingdom Entrepreneur, podcast coach, and founder of Podcast Coaching for Kingdom Entrepreneurs. Kristen shares her powerful insights on owning your story, no matter how ordinary or extraordinary it may seem. She emphasizes that each of us has a unique and valuable voice that God is calling us to use. Stepping out in courage to share your story can transform your life and bring healing to others. Kristen also shares her journey of starting a podcast, touching on how it’s impacted countless lives, including one person saved from suicide. If you’ve ever wondered if your voice truly matters, or if your story is enough, this episode will encourage you to step into your calling with confidence and trust in God’s plan for your life.
