๐Ÿ“– Something is coming...

I'm beyond honored to share that I've contributed to Dear Daughters: Lessons Learned at the Feet of Jesus, curated by Gina Stockdall โ€” releasing early next year!

This anthology brings together women who've walked through fire and found God faithful on the other side. My chapter shares a piece of my own journey โ€” the season that broke me, and the God who rebuilt what the world burned down.

More details coming soon. For now, just know: your story matters, your ashes are not wasted, and God is not done writing yet. ๐Ÿ”ฅ

World changer, have you ever had a vision so clear you could feel it in your bones โ€” but the actual steps to get there felt like a total mystery?

You're not alone, and nothing is wrong with you.

Here's the truth: vision and strategy come from two completely different places. Vision is a gift. Strategy is a discipline you build, one step at a time.

Swipe through for why that gap feels so hard to close โ€” and a simple way to start finding your next step today. ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿ‘‰

World changer, let's talk about the confidence gap for a minute.

"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." (2 Timothy 1:7)

Here's what I've learned about self-doubt: it rarely announces itself as fear. It shows up dressed as something far more respectable.

Sometimes it wears the costume of humility โ€” โ€œI donโ€™t want to seem pridefulโ€ โ€” when God never once asked you to shrink so someone else could feel comfortable.

Sometimes it wears the costume of realism โ€” โ€œIโ€™m just being practicalโ€ โ€” when itโ€™s really just a way to talk yourself out of what God already confirmed in your heart.

Sometimes itโ€™s the costume of preparation โ€” โ€œI just need to learn a little more firstโ€ โ€” a permanent holding pattern dressed up as diligence.

None of those costumes are wisdom, friend. They're fear, dressed up nicely enough that we don't recognize it for what it is.

Where might self-doubt be showing up in your business today โ€” wearing a costume you hadn't noticed before?

World changer, has your once crystal-clear vision started getting a little... foggy?

You're not imagining it. And you're definitely not alone.

Here's the truth: clarity doesn't usually disappear all at once. It fades one compromise at a time โ€” a little comparison here, some borrowed advice there โ€” until you can barely recognize the calling you started with.

Swipe through for the five sneaky ways the fog rolls in โ€” and the one question that can help you find your way back. ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿ‘‰

Something is coming.

I've been working behind the scenes on something I believe God has been asking me to build for a long time โ€” and it's almost ready.

The Entrepreneur's DREAM Course is launching soon.

If you're a Christian woman who has started building a business, ministry, or nonprofit โ€” and you're ready to stop feeling scattered and start moving strategically โ€” this was made for you.

More details coming very soon. Stay close.

Friend, can I be honest with you about something?

There was a season when I sat at my desk, tears streaming down my face, to-do lists scattered everywhere โ€” wondering if I had completely misheard God's calling on my life.

The struggle was so real.

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." (Philippians 4:13)

That verse became my lifeline. But here's what I had to learn the hard way:

Sometimes the "strength" God provides doesn't come as a supernatural download straight to our hearts.

Sometimes it comes through the guidance, wisdom, and support of others He strategically places in our path.

World changer, if you're in a season where you feel like you're carrying it all alone โ€” pause for a second.

What if the strength you're praying for is already on its way, wrapped in the form of a person God is about to place in front of you?

Friend, I want to make sure you understand something crucial:

The goal of leadership self-awareness isn't harsh self-criticism or paralyzing analysisโ€”it's freedom!

"It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery." (Galatians 5:1)

Self-awareness isn't about focusing obsessively on your flaws or analyzing yourself into paralysis.

It's about gaining the clarity that sets you free to:

Lead from Your Authentic Design โ€“

Freedom from trying to be someone you're not.

Freedom to leverage your actual strengths rather than pretending to have strengths you don't possess.

Freedom to structure your leadership around what energizes you rather than what depletes you.

Make Choices Aligned with Your Deepest Values โ€“

Freedom from being tossed around by external pressures or others' expectations.

Freedom to evaluate opportunities against clear internal criteria.

Freedom to say no without guilt when something doesn't align with what matters most.

Serve from Your Areas of Greatest Impact โ€“

Freedom from exhausting yourself trying to be all things to all people.

Freedom to focus on your distinctive contribution.

Freedom to partner with others whose strengths complement your limitations.

This freedom is the whole point!

Self-awareness liberates you from unconscious patterns, borrowed expectations, and misalignment between who you are and how you're leading.

It's not about feeling bad about yourself.

It's about seeing yourself clearly so you can lead from truth rather than illusion.

Friend, I've got so much more to share on this! Head over to my website to read the full article.

Women are strong, powerful, creative, and innovative!

And when they put their faith in the mix, they are unstoppable.

I recently returned from Kenya, where we held our latest She Steps Forward International Women's Conference.

Results:

Around 70 in attendance
Over 20 ready to sign up for the next group coaching cohort to grow their entrepreneurship skills

And I could not have done it without these two ladies โ€” and several others who championed the mission of She Steps Forward International.

I am so proud of their drive, their willingness to show up, and their support of each other.

Brenda (in the middle) handled all the logistics for this year's conference, bringing together everything needed to make the day a reality.

And Sue, as the older sister, brought her wisdom, strength, and grace as always.

It's an honor to share the platform with them, and we're excited for what's building in Kenya.

But just like there, I'm championing women here in the States every day. If you're ready to step forward into your entrepreneurial calling โ€” if you know God is calling you to come up higher in business, ministry, or nonprofit work โ€” I'd love to walk alongside you!!

Every Mary needs an Elizabeth. I'd be honored to serve as yours!!

I encourage you to take one small step this week toward greater leadership self-knowledge.

Not a huge, overwhelming commitment โ€“ just one small, courageous step:

Schedule time for reflective journaling โ€“
Block 20 minutes on your calendar to write about one significant leadership moment from the past week, exploring what it reveals about your patterns, values, or purpose.

Invite feedback from a trusted colleague โ€“
Ask one person you respect: "What's one strength you see in my leadership? And what's one area where you think I have room to grow?"

Explore a quality assessment โ€“
Take a personality or leadership assessment that might give you new insights into your design and patterns.

Sit quietly with God โ€“
Create space to simply ask: "God, what do You want me to see about myself as a leader? What truth about my design or calling do You want to reveal?"

Review your calendar through a purpose lens โ€“
Look at next week's commitments and ask: "How do these activities connect to my deeper calling? What might need to shift?"

Just one step.

That's all you need to begin.

Because remember, friend, knowing yourself to lead yourself isn't a one-time event โ€“ it's a lifelong journey of growing wisdom and impact!

Each step toward greater self-awareness becomes a foundation for more authentic, effective leadership that truly reflects your divine design and calling.

I want you to know that I'm cheering you on with my whole heart as you courageously pursue the self-knowledge that transforms leadership!

This work matters. You matter.
The unique contribution God has designed you to make through your leadership matters.
Yes, the journey requires courage.
Yes, there will be uncomfortable moments.

Yes, you'll encounter truths about yourself that challenge your self-perception.

But oh friend, the transformation that awaits you is so worth it!

Ready for more? I break it all down in the full article waiting for you on my website!
