Caroline Dinnall is a storyteller, author, speaker, and creative thinker who finds beauty and meaning in life’s most tender and transformative moments. She is the voice behind The Life Journal, a Christian lifestyle blog, host of the Care to Talk podcast, and author of The Unexpected Gift:What My Mother's Death Taught Me About Life.
A lover of words and visual storytelling, Caroline blends her background in journalism, content creation, and producing to craft experiences that connect and uplift. Whether through writing, podcasting, or simply holding space for others through conversation, she is driven by a passion for helping people feel seen, safe, and understood.
In The Unexpected Gift: What My Mother's Death Taught Me About Life, her debut book, Caroline shares the raw and redemptive journey of losing her mother to lung cancer and what it taught her about life, death, and faith. She invites readers to consider what pain can teach us—and how even our deepest losses can become our most unexpected gifts.
Her story of hope is written to help you live on-yes-even post-loss, so you can discover that death is just a springboard to a new, purposeful life.
