In this episode, we’re having a heart-to-heart about perfectionism—the sneaky mindset that keeps us stuck, second-guessing, and waiting for the “perfect” moment that never comes. I’m sharing my own struggles with perfectionism and what I’ve learned about breaking free from its grip.

In this episode, I’m asking a question that’s been on my heart: What are you really searching for? Maybe you’re chasing financial goals, health milestones, or personal recognition—been there, too.

But if you’ve ever felt like those pursuits left you drained or empty, you’re not alone. I’m sharing a personal story of how I found myself overwhelmed by the pressure to "achieve new year goals" and how God gently redirected my focus. Through journaling, prayer, and quiet moments with Him, I started to see that what I truly needed wasn’t more stuff or success...it was more of Him.

Let’s talk about what happens when we shift our focus. How does seeking God first impact not only our spiritual lives but everything else - our relationships, our work, and even our goals for the better? You’ll leave this episode encouraged to finally let God lead the way and watch everything else in your life and business fall into place.

We are back with our weekly episodes! In this first episode of 2025, I’m reflecting on the LA wildfire crisis and the lessons learned about how we lead others during challenging times in the world, in our work, or in our own personal lives. Living in LA, I’ve seen the devastation up close and witnessed the many ways people are responding to it online. Some responding out of fear, and others proclaiming that this is God's judgment. It’s made me pause and consider the very real fact that during any challenge, the way we LEAD within that challenge MATTERS.

Leadership isn’t just about what we say and do, but how we do it. In today’s conversation, we’ll explore the importance of leading with love and compassion in your work, your business, with people, and especially when wordly or personal challenges hit. I’ll share why it’s essential to stay rooted in your faith, plant seeds of hope, and let God shape not just your actions but your heart in everything you do.

If you’re navigating a circumstance in your own life right now or simply want to lead with greater intention no matter the challenge you face, this episode is for you.

Welcome to the final God empowered podcast episode of 2024! As we look back on a whirlwind year filled with personal growth, global events, and creative endeavors, I encourage you to reflect on your goals for 2025.

In this episode, we dive into a thought-provoking question: What if God's version of 'better' for you is different from your own?

Through sharing deep conversations and personal thoughts, I challenge you to trust in God's plan...even if it looks different from what you envisioned.

Remember, His version of 'better' is ultimately what will shape you into who He needs you to be and what He has called you to do.
