Episode 42: Clergywomen Thriving: Megan and Yvonne on Creating Sacred Space through Lead(Her)

What happens when clergywomen are given a space designed specifically for them?In this episode, I talk with Megan and Yvonne from United Methodist Church of the Resurrection about Lead(Her)—an event they helped create specifically for clergywomen who know that ministry can feel different when you are both a woman and a pastor.Megan and Yvonne share why they felt called to create Lead(Her) as a place where clergywomen can connect, be encouraged, and build relationships with others who truly understand their experiences in ministry. We talk about why these connections are essential for thriving in leadership and why spaces like this matter so much.They also discuss the importance of investing in yourself—taking a few days away from ministry to rest, learn, and reconnect with your calling. As they remind us, “The world won’t stop turning if we take time to invest in ourselves.”Along the way, Megan and Yvonne share powerful stories of clergywomen showing up for one another and reflect on the women who have inspired them—including Megan’s mom, who taught her this unforgettable advice:“You walk into a room, you throw your shoulders back, you hold your head up high, and you act like you are somebody.”If you’ve been longing for connection, encouragement, and a reminder that you are not alone in ministry, this conversation is for you.You can learn more and register for Lead(Her) here:https://sharechurch.com/leadher-empowering-female-clergy/
