Today Rachel is speaking with Amy Carroll. She is a speaker and writer with Proverbs 31 Ministries, a coach, and author of 3 books. She is also a wife to the man she’s loved madly for 30 years and a mother to two amazing sons. She feels that God is calling her to use her voice for Him in winsome, compelling ways, and she is still learning.Amy shares with us how she entered into the writing world as a reluctant writer, submitted several book proposals that were rejected and the story behind her first book “Breaking Up with Perfect” and how perfectionism was the thing that almost kept her from making the leap in her life.  A leap that would challenge her faith, test her obedience and develop a saturated prayer life. If you are sensing a leap may be on the horizon and want to know how to manage the emotions, and resistance that you and your family may feel then this episode is for you.In this Episode we talk about about:How she started and entered the writing worldHow she connected with a publisher after several book proposal rejections.The story behind her first book “Breaking Up with Perfect” and how perfectionism was the thing that almost kept her from making the leap in her life.How God used her misery to set her up for her leap.The runway lights you should look for when considering taking a leap.How she worked for a company for 6 years and didn’t initially see how it fit to only find out later that it was a huge puzzle piece that fit perfectly into what God called her to do later. Resources and Links:Website | https://amycarroll.org/Socials | https://www.facebook.com/amydohmcarroll/                https://www.instagram.com/amydohmcarroll/ Connect with Rachel at:https://rachelgscott.com/http://the5leaps.com/https://www.instagram.com/iamrachelgscott/https://www.facebook.com/iamrachelgscottText 'Podcast' to 216-279-7174 or  https://my.community.com/rachelscott
