EP. 12 | From Trauma to Triumph with Missy Maxwell Worton: How Writing Your True Story Brings Healing, Identity, and Freedom While Unlocking Faith, Purpose, and Transformation for Others
What happens when you say “yes” to sharing your true story? In this episode of Witness the Wonder, host Christina Smith welcomes back award-winning author, speaker, and publisher Missy Maxwell Worton to share how writing your story can unlock healing, freedom, and identity—not just for you, but for others who read it.
Missy opens up about her journey from writing Don’t Mess With This Mama to launching Warrior Writers and Light Warrior Publishing, where she helps authors turn their testimonies into powerful books that impact lives. Together, we explore:
Why healed authors write healed books—and how that brings freedom to readers
The connection between storytelling, faith, and neuroscience
How to recognize God’s presence in your story—even in the darkest chapters
Why writing your true story is the first step toward stepping into your calling
How God can use your “yes” to impact lives far beyond your own
Whether you feel called to write a book or simply want to understand the power of storytelling in your own life, this conversation will inspire you to see your story as a gift.
