If you spot someone hiking a trail with a coffee mug in one hand and a dog leash in the other—yep, that’s probably Kim Lengling.

Kim’s a multi-published author, podcast host, and all-around champion of hope and real talk. She’s the voice behind the Let Fear Bounce podcast, where she shares stories that remind you hope is real, kindness matters, and you’re never alone—even on rough days. As a veteran living with PTSD, Kim knows the power of small, hopeful moments.

She’s the lead author of six heart-hugging anthologies (the latest, Paw Prints on the Kitchen Floor), and her book, Nuggets of Hope: Cultivate Kindness, drops real-life stories that lift you up when the world feels heavy. To continue her kindness mission, her newest release, 15 Ways Pets Teach Us Kindness, is available as an eBook this November.

When Kim’s not writing or recording, you’ll find her relaxing with a good book, filling her coffee cup (again), or walking with her dog, Dexter, living her best nature-loving life.
