The Healing Journey of Writing a Book with Brenda Hukel

Описание: What if the book you feel called to write isn’t just a dream—but an invitation to reclaim your voice, your authority, and your truth?


In this episode of Women Thrive, Brenda Hukel opens a powerful conversation about authenticity, authorship, and the courage it takes to be seen. After more than three decades in executive leadership and transformational coaching, Brenda made a bold decision to step away from corporate success and devote her work to helping women break free from self-silencing, inherited beliefs, and internal barriers that keep their stories locked inside.


As the founder of Awakening the Consciousness Within and award-winning author of Courageously Authentic, Brenda guides women through the emotional, spiritual, and practical journey of writing from lived experience. This conversation explores imposter syndrome, healing through storytelling, and why so many women feel called to write—but hesitate at the “author ceiling.”


Brenda shares how reclaiming inner authority and expressing personal truth can become a catalyst for transformation, visibility, and lasting impact. If you’ve ever felt a story rising within you—and wondered whether you were ready, worthy, or allowed to tell it—this episode is your reminder that your voice matters, and your truth is meant to be written.
