My passion is to help others let go of their fear of rejection so they can live an authentic life as God planned. Because of my personal journey, I know it is possible to escape captivity and experience freedom to be our authentic selves.
In my new YouTube series, Authentic Living: Free to be Real, I talk about what our lives can look like when we walk on God's path of freedom. Listeners will learn how to overcome their craving for perfection. Those who struggle with anxiety will find ways to prevent anxiety from ruling their daily lives. The short discussions are designed to help people let go of their fears so they live an authentic life. https://gailporterauthor.com/YouTube

I am a certified speaker for AWSA, the Advanced Writers and Speakers Association. Whether speaking during international conferences, being the keynote speaker for women's events, delivering the sermon at churches, talking at small-group gatherings, or mentoring women one-on-one, my heart is full of joy that God is using my story to set others free from their fears.
Being a member of Word Weavers International has played a major role in my writing career. More than 1000 chapters around the world have woven a tight community of writers who are dedicated to giving excellent critiques that lead to success. Recently, I wrote a story about my grandmother, entitled "The Sound of Lullabies," which won first place in the 2023 Mature Living contest and was published in their magazine.
During my 50-year career with Cru, an international Christian organization, I joined The Significant Woman Project and co-authored two biblically based, life-coaching courses designed to help women discover their personal mission from God. Many countries have translated the courses into their own language.
In my personal life, I relish my role as aunt to my nieces and nephews and enjoy my involvement in the ballroom dance community in Orlando, Florida.
