  • How to Use ChatGPT to Enhance Your Book (Not to Write It)
    May 15 2025

    Let’s be clear: AI can assist, but it can’t anoint. In this episode, Mya Kay unpacks how to use ChatGPT as a tool—not a crutch—while staying rooted in the Holy Spirit’s guidance. If you're a faith-driven writer who wants to use tech without compromising your voice or your calling, this one's for you.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • Why you should start with God—not GPT—for your book's direction

    • How to use ChatGPT to refine your writing, not replace your voice

    • Smart ways to use AI to clarify your message without watering it down

    • The difference between using tech with purpose and becoming overly dependent on it

    When you stay rooted in the Spirit, even your tech tools become kingdom tools. Let’s write—on purpose and with power.

  • How to Manage Purpose & Profit (Can You Do Both and Be Successful?)
    May 8 2025

    Let’s be real—when God gives you a book idea, He’s not just thinking about this moment in your life. He’s already factored in your purpose, your provision, and your next season. If you’re transitioning out of a 9-5 and stepping into your writing career, know this: God wouldn’t call you without also providing for you.

    In this episode, we’re tackling the age-old struggle between purpose and profit—and why you don’t have to choose between them:

    💡 Keep your business in mind while you write – God didn’t just give you a book idea; He gave you a vision to steward that can lead to a thriving business.
    🚀 Stop separating purpose & profit – You can write from the heart and sell books successfully. Align yourself with purpose, and trust The Provider for the profit.
    📖 Make your passion/legacy-driven book align with your business – Here’s how:
    🔹 Find the common pain point your book and your reader share.
    🔹 Identify the problem your book is solving—this is key to marketing it effectively.
    🔹 Position your book as the solution—when you frame it right, sales become effortless.

    I’m also sharing two real-life examples from my own books—one non-fiction, one fiction—so you can see exactly how to apply this to your own writing journey.

    And before we wrap, I’m releasing a prophetic word for women of color, as led by The Lord. This is your time. Step into it boldly.

  • How to Develop Your Book Content
    May 1 2025

    So, you’ve got a book idea... but how do you actually develop the content in a way that makes sense for your readers? Whether you’re writing fiction, non-fiction, or even blogging, having a strategy for your content will make writing easier, faster, and way more impactful.

    In this episode, I’m breaking down five key steps to help you organize your ideas, outline your book, and create content that flows:

    📖 Know your book’s purpose & ideal reader – Getting clear on your why and who will help you hone in on your messaging and make every writing session count.
    Identify the main problem your book solves – Write down the big problem your book tackles, plus five mini problems that lead to it. (This trick will help you map out your chapters effortlessly!)
    🗺 Create an outline—but don’t let it box you in – Your outline should be a roadmap, not a prison. Flexibility is key!
    💡 Pull from your past experiences – If you’re a thought leader or subject matter expert, mine your own transformation for fresh, powerful content.
    🔄 Start each chapter with the end in mind – Whether you’re writing fiction, non-fiction, or blog content, knowing where your reader (or character) should be by the end of each chapter will help you structure it in a compelling way.

    Plus, I’ll be sharing a formula for structuring chapters across different writing styles so your book flows naturally!
