  3. 255. God Gave You the Idea, Now Start Showing

    God gave you the idea, but fear keeps convincing you to stay hidden. How will people connect with your message, your business, or your ministry if you never show up?

  4. 254. A Brand Reached Out to Me or a Partnership with Them

    I had a brand reach out to me and I share 3 ways to help you get noticed. If you’ve been hiding or waiting until you feel ready, let this encourage you to also consider your own platform. It reminded me why showing up matters and how many followers you have is not as important as you may think....

  5. 253. Showing Up Doesn’t Have to Be as Hard as We Make It

    Showing up doesn’t have to be as hard as we make it. Sometimes we wait for the perfect time, the perfect plan, or the perfect circumstances before taking the first step. Today I’m sharing why it’s time to stop overcomplicating the process and start moving on what you already know God called to…

  6. 252. 7 People to Avoid if You Want to Grow and Create

    Not everyone belongs in the environment where you’re trying to build, create, and become something greater.

  7. 251. They Supported You As Long As You Didn't Do Better Than Them

    Some people will support you as long as you stay at a level that makes them comfortable. But the moment you start growing, winning, and stepping into something bigger, their energy changes.

  8. 250. Your Voice Won’t Improve Until You Get Out There

    Your voice doesn’t get stronger by waiting until you feel ready. It gets stronger by using it.

Start...

  9. 249. Nobody Can Discover You If You Stay Hidden

    You can’t keep hiding and expect the right opportunities to find you. Sometimes the next step isn’t more preparation, it’s getting out there, using your voice, and allowing people to see what you have to offer. Stop waiting until you feel completely ready. Show up anyway. Watch this message on...

  10. 248. Your Voice Will Work When You Work It

    Your voice can work for you, but only if you’re willing to use it. Stop allowing the opinions and criticism of people who don’t understand your purpose to stop how you show up. Some people want you quiet, hesitant, or invisible but God wants you to speak about you and the ways you help people....

  11. 247. What Happens When You Bet on Yourself

    Fear of failure is keeping so many Christian women stuck, worried about judgment, and whatshername and whathisname have to say about this and that. As a result, we second-guess ourselves, don’t speak on the idea God gave us, and play smaller than we were meant to When you stop letting fear of...

  12. 246. Stop Giving People So Much Power Over You

    Setting boundaries isn’t about controlling other people. It’s about deciding what you will and will NOT allow in your life. Healthy boundaries protect your peace, strengthen your confidence, and help you stop overexplaining, people-pleasing, and shrinking your voice. When you know your worth, you...

  13. 245. Don’t Let Their Manipulating Games Stop Your Voice

  18. 240. Stop Letting Fear Control Your Voice

    Have you ever been in a situation and you walked away and you wanted to speak up but didn’t? That’s been me more times than I’d like to remember but it doesn’t have to be that way! God gave you a voice to use for His glory, the way He created YOU to use it. There are many ways to master the mic....

  19. If God Did It Before, He Will Do It Again

    Ladies, if you’re going through anything right now, you are not alone. God is a miracle worker God can make a way out of no way. Do you have faith in him today like the people in Exodus 14:21/22? If not, you can get it right now. If so, keep your faith up! Resources at...

  20. 239. New Places For Where God Has For You To Go

    Today we’re talking about using your past to get to where (and what) God has for you. I made sooooo many mistakes and bad decisions in my life because I didn’t believe in myself. Although I’m passed people-pleasing, I’m still a work in process. What about you? Do you live in regret? Shame? Missed...

  21. 238. Why Women Shrink Their Voice

    Are you shrinking your voice? Many women do it because somewhere along the way, we began believing that our voice wasn’t important enough to be heard. That was my problem from a young age. And today I want to share some common reasons women shrink our voice. My prayer is that as we walk through...

  22. 237. Some People Want to Control Your Growth

    Why do some people react negatively when you try to better yourself? I remember when I was in the Air Force and the other occasion in the church. Both times I had two people who asked me why I was trying to better myself. I was studying to get promoted and the person in the Air Force asked me.…

  23. 236. Let Your Voice Speak for Itself

    There were at least three major places where I let others muzzle my voice. I take 100% responsibility because I was a willing participant, and I signed off on it, whether I knew it or not. In retrospect I figured it out. Those different places where my voice really didn’t matter too much, majorly...

  24. 235. You’re Giving People Permission to Muzzle Your Message and Voice

    As I was out walking my 4-legged baby, I wanted to drop a few wisdom nuggets for you. These are some of the things on my mind regarding letting people who get a kick out of muzzling your voice and your message. When you allow that, you are stagnating the power God has placed in you because you…

  25. 234. Why Jealous People Hate Your Success and Fear Your Voice

    A few years ago, I had this dream and it was about a person who was close to me. It was a dream that God showed me regarding this person, and it was filled with confirmation after confirmation that this person was jealous, and although I knew, it was pretty difficult because this person was…

    more
  26. 233. God Gave You a Voice For Stages and Platforms

    In the episode I want to remind you that you have a voice for stages and platforms and not just any voice. It’s a voice from the Lord God that carries purpose, authority, and impact. Now let me say this right at the beginning that your voice is not random or accidental. God was intentional and...

  27. 232. Your Voice Isn’t The Problem, It's THIS

    Do you know you can speak with power and boldness? It's not your voice that is the problem. It's the hesitation, the overthinking, and the fear that is creeping in before you even open your mouth. That’s not cool. In this episode I'm talking about the things that have been trying to silence you…

  28. 231. Why Your Voice is Being Filtered Out

    Have you ever felt like you have something to say, but when it’s time to speak, your voice shrinks, hesitates, or disappears? In this episode, I’m breaking down the real reason your voice is being filtered out and it’s not because you’re not called or not capable. It’s fear, overthinking, and...

  29. 230. The Real Reason You Feel Behind as Speaker Leaders

    Today we’re talking about something that doesn’t get said enough, but almost every speaker feels at some point. That quiet thought that “I should be further by now.” Does that resonate with you?

  30. 229. Stop Downplaying Your Voice

    In this episode I talk about something that really gets worked up. And that is when women hold back in speaking and leading the way God told them. It gets to me because I was that girl and now I’m yelling from the rooftops that it needs to stop. Ladies, you weren’t called to shrink, soften, or...

  31. 228. Distance is a Great Thing For Speaking and Leading

    Distance is a great thing for speaking and leading without being distracted by negative people and that includes family and friends. It can be a powerful advantage when you’re speaking and leading, because it gives you room to think clearly without being pulled into negativity. Sometimes the...

  32. 227. Visibility With No Action

    We say we want visibility, but we don’t always want the responsibility that comes with it. We want the platform, the clients, the recognition, the influence, but we hesitate on the posting. Yet the speaking, showing up, and consistency is nowhere to be found. Visibility isn’t just something you...

  33. 226. My Journey of More Self Discovery

    My journey of more self discovery is about going to new levels in what God has for me and where He’s taking me. I have been in a space of weeding out distractions in the form of people, places, and things. In this space of self discovery, one of the great things is, you don’t have to take up...

  34. 225. God Gives Strength

    Hebrews 11 is such a beautiful reminder that God truly loves his people and gives them strength when they trust Him. The entire chapter of Hebrews walks us through the lives of ordinary people who did extraordinary things, not because they were fearless, but because they had faith. God…

    more
  35. 224. Don't Wait for Permission

    Just a reminder when it comes to showing up and doing what God told you to do, you’re going to have to dig deep to continue on. You can show up a little differently than what you’ve been doing, but for crying out loud, show up somewhere. Just one place, one platform is ok if that’s all you have…

  36. 223. You Gonna Let Them Bother You?

    You gonna let them bother you or are you going to remember who called you? Remember who called you,” I mean pause long enough to shift your focus from the audience to the Author. Comon’ somebody. He’s the same God who placed purpose in your heart, who opened the door, who entrusted you with that...

  37. 222. To Have Influence, You Must Become a Better Communicator

    Things may not be easy for many of us right now, but guess what? God is still on the throne. And although life these days can feel uncertain, overwhelming, and busy, I know that doesn't mean our faith has to be shaken. It doesn't mean we give up and just stop what God started. And remember this:...

  38. 221. Breaking Fear and Speaking Your Blessing

    We’re living in an unusual world today, nevertheless that’s life though. Over the centuries there were challenging times that we lived in (as humans). So we can’t give up because life happens. Yet this is the thing: when fear is broken, guess what happens? Your voice and your actions become a...

  39. 220. It's Not Anger or Bitterness, It's Self-Respect

    You’ve got too much to do, to get distracted on what doesn’t matter. They want you to react. Don’t take the bait. The enemy is using them, don’t get caught up. Stay locked in. Anything that tries to pull you off your action plan is just noise, not direction, so don’t give it your attention. God...

  40. 219. The God of Suddenly

    Do you know God is the God of Suddenly? One moment things look quiet, stuck, or even impossible…and then suddenly He shifts it all.

  41. 218. I Used to Let Things Stop Me

    There was a time when fear had the final say in my life. Fear of being seen, fear of being judged, fear of not being “ready enough.” I used to let excuses, past mistakes, and other people’s opinions stop me from showing up fully in what God had called me to do. In this episode, I’m sharing how I...

  42. 217. Are You Doing the Work to Find Out Who You Are?

    When it comes to knowing who you are or doing the work to know who you are, don’t be ashamed of the gospel and don’t be ashamed of your testimony -- your past. It’s not something you hide or soften to make other people comfortable. It’s the very power of God at work through you. You don’t have to...

  43. 216. Trust God with Your Brand

    Are you trusting God with your brand? Or is life making you throw in the towel because of what you think you see around you? I know some things have changed, but some things have also stayed the same. Your brand is still a God-assignment, not a group project. When you start trusting opinions,...

  44. 215. Speakers as Leaders is Not Automatic

    This episode was recorded some time ago from my Clubhouse room (btw, I no longer do daily rooms on Clubhouse). Nevertheless, this message is a great reminder that simply because we have the mic, that doesn’t mean we're leading. In this episode, I share why being a speaker does not automatically...

  46. 213. Keep Going Even When You Don’t Feel Like It

    This is a topic that is near and dear to my heart, because if I can keep it 100, sometimes I do not feel like doing what I do. That’s the real real and here’s the thing as well. With God, ALL things are possible (Mark 9:23), so if I try to do things in my own strength, I will probably give up. If…

    Ladies, commitment is where transformation happens. It's how you grow from “I’m scared to speak” to “I was made for this!” Your consistency will break fear off of you, step by step, stage by stage. Quick reminders: -Start with God daily.
