Author Jen Hatmaker on Breaking The Mold, Writing Her Memoir, Awake & Owning Your Story

In today's episode of WECAN, Stephanie sits down with best-selling author and advocate Jen Hatmaker for an honest and heartfelt conversation about leaving Evangelicalism, writing Awake, and the power of owning your story. Jen opens up about her journey from being an evangelical leader to becoming a voice for women’s narratives through her books, podcast, and advocacy work. Together, she and Stephanie explore Jen’s latest book, Awake, which examines the systems and personal experiences that shape women’s lives, from faith and culture to identity and independence. The conversation delves deep into Jen’s personal evolution, exploring her journey of rebuilding life after divorce, losing her original community, and discovering strength through vulnerability and new connections. Jen shares how she learned to embrace authenticity, confront limiting beliefs, and find beauty in starting over. Stephanie and Jen also reflect on the Awake book tour and the incredible response from women across the country, which serves as proof that sharing our stories creates connection, healing, and empowerment. Jen’s insights remind us that resilience isn’t rare — it’s human, and that awakening to our truth is the first step toward living fully and freely. Jen's passion and purpose are connecting with women across the world through our stories, and that could not align with us more.
