Hey sis!
It is January and we are rolling in deep and today we're going to be talking about something that has been so heavy on my heart lately. And that is how your relationship with food isn't just affecting your health, but how it could be holding back your leadership potential and the significant impact that you're meant to have in this world.
Marshawn Daniels says it best in her devotional..."As women, we've had an up and down roller coaster like relationship with the word leadership. On one hand, we're supposed to be submissive and supportive. We learned so much about surrender, but less about stepping up. We want to expand the kingdom, but we don't want to step out of place.
We want to be a good wife. We want to be a pleasing daughter. We want to be a wonderful mother, but we're afraid to admit that our hearts are craving something more. And therein lies a holy tension. See, God desires that we absorb the wisdom of others, but also that we never place the perspective of other people and this world above His voice and His plan."
And the truth is that leadership is your birthright. It's in your DNA. I cannot agree with that more. I have felt God nudging me and calling me to lead even more this year. And you know what breaks my heart? Seeing brilliant, capable women sitting on the sidelines of their own lives because their eating disorder has convinced them that controlling food and their body is more important than their God given purpose.

Today on the podcast, we're going to talk about your unhealthy relationship with food is actually a stronghold, keeping you from becoming the best version of you and from becoming a leader that you're meant to be. You see, I personally believe that my word for the year, "leadership" is not just meant for me, but it's meant for you too, because leadership is so tightly ingrained in our identity.
And when you can't believe in your own identity because you have been living under the cloud of false truths in your mind, then you forget that you are a mighty warrior. You forget that you have influence. You forget that God has been grooming you since you were born for a purpose.

I want to ask you something: when is the last time you thought about the influence that you're meant to have here, not just in your family or in your job, but on this planet in this world?
2025 is all about leadership for me. I'm realizing more and more how many of us are letting so many other things in our life, things of quote, "the world", rob us of our leadership potential, rob us of our impact.
These beliefs that we're not good enough, or we're not qualified, or we haven't yet arrived, or we aren't there yet. All these things, they're literally sucking the hope out of your journey forward. And without HOPE, I mean, what is it that we truly have anyways? Am I right?
I want you to stop letting your ED, letting this relationship with food, steal the rest of your life and your leadership potential.
