Do you struggle with the fear of sharing your story—afraid of being judged, misunderstood, or rejected? In this episode of The Living Story, we explore why so many women hesitate to tell their stories and how God can transform fear into freedom.
Through the lens of Elizabeth Acevedo’s novel The Poet X, the biblical journeys of Jeremiah, Moses, and Esther, and my own personal reflections—from teaching and career shifts to singleness, family conflict, friendships, and creativity—we’ll uncover the patterns that keep us silent and the growth that comes when we step out in courage.
This episode is packed with scripture, storytelling, and practical encouragement to help you:
- Recognize the patterns of fear and silence in your own life
- Understand what the Bible teaches about using your voice
- Find healing and courage through faith, reflection, and action
- Take practical steps to share your story with confidence
If you’ve ever asked, “Who am I to share this?” or felt the pull to hide your testimony, this conversation will remind you that your story matters—and that God meets you right in the trembling.
Whether in family, work, relationships, or your creative journey, this episode will encourage you to honor the person you are becoming and embrace the sacred power of your voice.

Perfectionism promises peace but leaves us exhausted.
In this episode of The Living Story, I share the quiet ways perfectionism shows up in our lives at work, in relationships, and in our faith, and how to finally let it go.
Through the sharp precision of Lessons in Chemistry’s Elizabeth Zott, the striving of Martha in Luke 10, the résumé of Paul, and the failure of Peter, we discover why God never asked us to be flawless, only faithful.
I also share personal stories from my classroom, my church kitchen, and this very podcast, where I struggled with trying to get everything “just right.”
If you have ever carried the weight of other people’s emotions, felt pressure to prove your worth, or hidden your “in-progress” self, this conversation is for you.
By the end, you will walk away with:
✅ Practical journal prompts to expose perfectionist lies
✅ Reflection steps to release what is not yours to carry
✅ Encouragement to choose presence over performance
It is time to stop striving for perfection and start resting in God’s presence.

What if the people who walked you to the door can’t take you inside?
In this episode, I share how God used unexpected transitions, a new teaching job, a fresh heartbreak, and a church I didn’t choose to walk me through sacred thresholds of healing, identity, and surrender.
We explore the symbolism of thresholds through the lives of beloved literary heroines like Jane Eyre, Tita de la Garza, Elizabeth Bennet, Julieta Madrigal, and Esperanza Cordero, and how their quiet bravery mirrors our own spiritual decisions.
We also journey through Scripture to see how Ruth, Esther, Peter, the Woman at the Well, and the Prodigal Son all stepped through thresholds of faith that changed everything.
Whether you’re navigating heartbreak, transition, or a call to deeper obedience, this episode is your gentle reminder:
Some people bring you to the door, but only God brings you inside.
🔖 You’ll hear about:
- What thresholds symbolize in both story and Scripture
- How community, worship, and stillness helped heal hidden parts of me
- Why obedience opens doors logic never will
- The sacred invitation God offers in moments of transition

After my car accident, I lost the ability to write, even journal entries or sticky notes. As a storyteller, writer, journaler, and teacher, that silence hit hard.
But in the margins of books, of random words on a sticky note, of life, God met me.
In this episode, I share how writing became part of my healing journey, and how stories like The Outsiders, The Diary of Anne Frank, and Little Women helped both me and my students find our voices again.
You’ll also hear how biblical figures like David, Moses, and the woman with the issue of blood were powerfully used by God, even when their stories felt incomplete.
If you’ve ever struggled to find your voice after pain or felt like your story doesn’t matter, this episode is for you.

In this deeply personal episode of The Living Story, I take you through the books that didn’t just fill my shelves—they healed my soul.
After surviving a near-fatal car accident and navigating a season of exhaustion, disconnection, and spiritual burnout, I found restoration in the most unexpected place: fiction.
Join me as I share the sacred stories and unforgettable characters—like Santiago, Negi, Emoni, the Mirabal Sisters, and Orquídea—who met me in the valley and whispered hope back into my spirit.
These stories walked me through grief, reminded me of my cultural roots, and helped me find God in places I didn’t expect.
This is not a reading list. It’s a love letter to the books that carried me when I couldn’t carry myself.
📚 Whether you're in a season of healing, searching for identity, or just longing for a good story, this episode is for you.
✨ Plus: A gentle reminder that some of the fiction books shared may contain mature or complex themes. Please read with discernment and care.

What happens when life forces you to start from scratch?
In this episode, I share how The Book Advantage, my first podcast, planted the seeds for something deeper, but never quite scratched the surface of why stories matter. It was beautiful, but it wasn’t the whole truth. I enjoyed the interviews, the insights, the flow… but I was craving more—connection, reflection, calling.
Then came the accident. The silence. The blank page.
This is the story of what came next.
I open up about my painful recovery—how it stripped me of my voice, my independence, and left me staring at a notebook with nothing to say… until I remembered who I was.
Through 50+ books, divine stillness, and middle schoolers who wouldn’t stop asking when the next episode was coming, I found my way back to the mic.
This is where The Book Advantage ended… and The Living Story began.
📖 Includes a nod to The Outsiders, reflections on healing, how God speaks in silence, and how storytelling became a sacred lifeline.

What if the unraveling isn’t the end—but the sacred beginning?
In this premiere episode of The Living Story, I share the truth behind mypodcast’s transformation—from hustle to healing, from strategy to surrender. After a life-changing car accident, I was forced to slow down, sit in the silence, and confront the stories I had built my worth on.
This isn’t just my pivot story. It’s a story of parents who carried me, a sister who showed up, friends who stayed, and a God who never stopped writing—even when I dropped the pen.
If you've ever wondered whether the silence means you're forgotten, this one’s for you.

It's easy to feel undervalued and overworked, sacrificing everything for others without receiving the recognition or compensation you deserve.

The ambition for perfection can often impede the growth of a side hustle. It is more valuable to focus on making steady progress rather than aiming for faultlessness in every endeavor.

Rachel Luna is a shining example of what’s possible when we prioritize our dreams and take action on them. Her book 'Permission to Offend' provides insights into her courage and resilience, which would serve as her compassionate guide for living unfiltered and unafraid.
Rachel's candid sharing comes from the fire in which she was forged and she isn't afraid to share the lessons she’s learned along the way. In other words: you don’t have to stick to safe topics and conventional ideas when tackling life with gusto!
We talk about the many lessons learned throughout life, the one step and word you must say to become an entrepreneur, and how movement provides clarity.
In her journey towards authenticity and reinforcement of her worth, Rachel inspires us all to believe in ourselves and keep fighting against the odds till we reach our bigger dreams.

Listen to this week's book share that will definitely help you build a successful and profitable business with an audience to boot!
Last week's journey to the PodFest Conference in Orlando, Florida certainly brought wonders and surprises!
Thanks to Buzzsprout, my podcast host, I had the unique privilege of attending the annual PodFest Conference — a much-needed break from their everyday routine.
The conference was especially illuminating after reading Pat Flynn's Superfans which taught them how to create meaningful relationships with devoted followers.
It's important to develop content that resonates with niche audiences and reward loyalty whenever possible — after all, loyalty is like putting money in the bank! From recounting powerful stories to engaging in two-way dialogue, there are endless avenues for achieving successful relationships.
Ultimately it’s important to be proactive when building relationships as this is key to getting ahead and achieving sustainable success.
