This is the first book in the best-selling anthology Step Into series; this beautiful book is a living conversation from gifted, heart-centered writers to you, speaking wisdom and encouragement to ignite a fire in you, shore up your courage, and help you get the focus to step fully into your brilliance!

These writers are people just like you, people who have experienced fears, stories that have kept them stuck, challenges that have been difficult to face and yet, they have that ‘something’ inside that calls us all to expand, explore, and seek better, happier lives. Do you know that feeling inside? Of being called to step forward? To share your gifts and talents? To lean in and help lift others up?

We believe this is a calling for you to step more fully into your brilliance. To share more of the gift of you with the world. I often see that what holds people back from stepping into their brilliance is that they don’t know how. This book is designed to inspire you and also help you with the “how” to move forward through those blocks toward what truly matters to you, what you are called to bring forth in your life and to the world.

Are you saying “no” to stepping into your brilliance? Afraid to go for that dream job, hiding in the shadows when you belong in the spotlight, or choosing the “safe” path that has you stuck in an unsatisfying home, career, or relationship? The 14 of us have made a commitment to share authentically our stories and wisdom to empower and encourage you to fully step into your brilliance! It is my vision and hope that every message will touch your heart in some way because we all need others to encourage us, to speak wisdom and truth into us, to love us and cheer us on, and to help us stand up again when we fall.

This book will walk beside you to help you run and not grow weary, to take confident steps forward, to complete all that you are called to complete, and to live on purpose and with great purpose. The world needs your brilliance!
