  • Obsessed!

    Kim makes book marketing feel so much less overwhelming. I love how practical and encouraging this show is for authors who want to steward their message well and reach the readers God has called them to serve. Every episode feels clear, doable, and full of wisdom for building an author platform without the pressure or weird marketing vibes.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

212. Sharing hope and healing from your scars with Brittany Tinsley
Q: What marketing approaches have you found most effective post-launch?
In-person speaking engagements and faith-based or secular events where I share the book's message rather than just talking about it have been most effective for real conversations and sales.
212. Sharing hope and healing from your scars with Brittany Tinsley
Q: What was the biggest fear about sharing your story, and how did you overcome it?
Fear was constant, but a sense of compulsion to help others who were where I'd been pushed me to start writing publicly, and therapy plus a mindset shift—letting go of perfect control over the narrative—helped me release the book.
212. Sharing hope and healing from your scars with Brittany Tinsley
Q: Tell us about the book you wrote and who you wrote it for.
The book sits at the crossroads of memoir, mental health, and faith, and is for anyone who has faced a season of struggle and is looking for hope, healing, and a sense of belonging, even if they've walked through self-injury themselves.
209. From heartbreak to hope with Pamela Jessup Runner
Q: What role did community and advocacy play in shaping your book's impact?
Pamela discusses building support networks, influencing California policies for family-friendly systems, and using her platform to advocate for families affected by CMV.
209. From heartbreak to hope with Pamela Jessup Runner
