Hannah Brencher

My guest is Hannah Brencher. Hannah’s a writer, a TED talk speaker, and online educator with a heart for building leaders. She has a brand new book called FIGHTING FORWARD that just released & she and I have a great conversation about her story and the message of FIGHTING FORWARD in this episode.

At the darkest point of a severe season of depression, Hannah took a silver marker and labeled a composition book “Fight Song.” She filled that little notebook up with hope-filled truths and affirmations, knowing that one day, she–and you–would need a reminder to stay in the fight. Now, she’s on a mission, and partnering with God daily, to be a light in the growing conversation about mental illness, and to remind people all across the world to show up, claim hope, and take back your life one small win at a time.

Episode 108 – Sophie Hudson

Is there really a way to stay strong when life gets hard? If you’re anything like most of us, your initial reaction to the hard stuff – those pieces and parts of life that keep you up at night – is to try to figure out how to make it go away. You might wonder if it’s possible to just ignore it, or, better yet, to burn it all down.

Author, podcaster and blogger, Sophie Hudson (Boo Mama) joins me to discuss ways the Lord works through His Word and His people, to faithfully reveal how you can get up, straighten up, and STAND UP!
