Mindi on the Mic: From Stigma to Connection
Release Date: 05/27/2025
In this powerful episode of Mindi on the Mic, I sit down with Lydia Summer—founder of Splendeur, a Christ-centered magazine amplifying the voices, callings, and creativity of women from all walks of life. Lydia opens up about her unexpected journey from music education to full-time magazine publishing, revealing how God used a season of uncertainty, anxiety, and global crisis to birth a bold new vision.
We talk about calling, community, imposter syndrome, the challenges of entrepreneurship, and the peace that comes from trusting God step-by-step—even when you don’t have it all figured out. Lydia also shares the heart behind Splendeur and why her mission is to reflect God’s beauty and truth in a world filled with comparison and doubt.
Whether you're navigating your own calling, dreaming about launching something new, or just love hearing stories of faith in action—you’ll walk away inspired, encouraged, and reminded that your voice and gifts matter.
