Caitlyn Mentzel is a full-time regulatory specialist in the food industry, and entrepreneur. She runs a marketing business with her husband of over 5 years. She also cohosts The Intentional Podcast with her friend about leading intentional lives to become more fulfilled. Her coffee journal is available for purchase to review coffee shop experiences, and More Than Conquering: A Season of Surrender is releasing in Fall 2024!

Learn about her writing experiences through the pandemic, and being told she couldn’t write well (despite having to do chemistry papers in college).

Through blogging, journalling, and her connection to God, she has found her way to writing her novel More Than Conquering: A Season of Surrender. She hopes this book helps women who feel stuck and struggle with new stages of their lives.

This book includes stories from Caitlyn’s life transitioning from high school to college to the working world. Once she let go of control and surrendered her life to God, everything throughout this journey become so much easier.

There’s plenty of vulnerability involved in sharing your personal story, but the right readers will find some relatable piece to it, and it’s so satisfying to realize you are not alone. Caitlyn thinks that even if her book helps one person, that would be really cool.

She shares how it took four years to put the book together, and the grace and patience she learned along the way. If you want to write about your life, listen to Caitlyn’s episode to uncover her advice for getting more comfortable writing and sharing publicly.
