"I am not afraid, I was born to do this." - Joan of Arc

When author Lesa Engelthaler wrote her children's book, Joan of Art, she didn't realize it would become a book that would also inspire adults. 

In our latest Business Origin Stories podcast episode, I dive deep into a conversation with Lesa, the brilliant author behind "Joan of Art." Lesa's journey from journalist to children’s book author is a masterclass on leaning into your life's seasons. Her book, which beautifully reimagines the tale of Joan of Arc for a younger audience, is a call to readers to claim their own brilliance in life. 

Lesa's book encourages us all to embrace who we were born to be, regardless of the challenges we face.

In this episode, you'll discover:

  • The Inspiration Behind the Book: Why Lesa chose Joan of Arc as her muse and how her personal experiences shaped this project.
  • The Impact on Young Readers: Heartwarming stories of how children have responded to the book’s empowering message and the surprising ways it’s resonated with adults.
  • The Power of Bravery: Insights into how Lesa encourages both young girls and women to step into their power and pursue their true calling.
  • The Book Publishing Process: What it takes to write and publish a book with a publisher. 

Don’t miss out on this chance to hear from a woman who is shaping the future through literature and igniting conversations that matter.
