What happens when divine identity collides with self-doubt—Can our fears become the doorway to purpose?
This week on Latter-Day Lights, fellow author, podcaster, and life coach Cassidy Beck shares her deeply personal journey through imposter syndrome. After interviewing her father during his final moments on Earth, in an attempt to write his life’s story, she found herself creatively blocked after his passing, in doubt that she would ever be able to write without him. From then on, she studied impostor syndrome, its causes, and all the tools she’s learned over the years to overcome it. Her main mantra? Ordinary stories—and the people behind them—matter far more than we think.
Cassidy also opens up about the six-year journey behind her children’s book “Sheep Chronicles: Baptism,” from writing multiple versions to facing publisher rejections and questioning her own worth. Through it all, she’s learned that our efforts can still fulfill the measure of their creation. And, most importantly, that remembering who God says we are is one of the most powerful answers to self-doubt and rejection fatigue.
Join Scott, Alisha, and Cassidy in this enlightening discussion about navigating fear as a creative. With all three having walked their own paths of inspiration, this episode offers a uniquely heartfelt look at how God shapes us through the act of creating—and how our most vulnerable moments often become our most meaningful offerings.
