Waldoch authentically pours her heart and soul into sharing raw stories and songs filled with deep faith, side-splitting humor, and a resounding message that we are all perfectly made in God's eyes.
Tammy writes this book not only as a testimony of her faith but also to share her private path of redemption and healing.
Among the pages, readers will also enjoy fiction stories designed to encourage laughter and reflection, along with some preposterous (and creative!) parodies that provide a backdrop of humor to lighten the burdens of The Slim at Heart.
Heart Felt And Honest - This book will make you laugh and cry. The lament of women who struggle with body image applies to a good majority of women.
Interview with Tammy Waldoch
How did publishing your first book change your process of writing?
I was blessed with a team of
people who helped me bring my book from start to finish to
completion. My editor Becky Flansburg and Krista Soukup from Blue
Cottage Agency brought the book to fruition.
What was an early experience where you learned that language had power?
I discovered that language had
power relative to my writing from the words of affirmation from my
college creative writing teacher. He validated my creativity and
gave me the confidence to continue to pursue my passion for writing.
Prior to my class with him I had plans to quit school entirely, but
after my experience in his class, I chose to go on and finish my
degree.
What one thing would you give up to become a better writer?
I would give up giving power to
the voices of my inner critic.
Tell us a little about yourself? Perhaps something not many people know?
I was able to overcome my
adversity to being in a swimsuit for the first time in 30 years this
summer at my cabin on the Fourth of July. I was excited to finally
join others in the lake just as I am without shame. I will always
consider this my own personal Independence day.
If you had to do something differently as a child or teenager to become a better writer as an adult, what would you do?
I would have attempted to read
more authors and poetry and creative writers to learn from their
expertise in the written word.
What is the biggest surprise that you experienced after becoming a writer?
I could make people laugh.
Could you tell us a bit about your most recent book and why it is a must-read?
My book is a must read for anyone who suffers from negative body image or toxic body shame. Included are raw stories and inspirations for the slim at heart. It is also a testiment of my faith and a companion to anyone who has a long lost dream that they may have given up on. Included in my message is a personal journey of hope healing and restoration for anyone who suffers from a mental health condition.
She and her husband of 38 years share a dynamic love for better for worse, in sickness and in health, that has endured all things.
She is also a proud parent of two sons and has two beautiful daughters-in-law who share life’s joys and challenges. Her faith is at the heart of everything she does, and this book is a testimony of her Lord and Savior’s incredible loving kindness toward her. Gilda Radner once said, “Life is full of delicious ambiguities.”
Tammy invites everyone to share those ambiguities with her!
