180. Finding Purpose in Leadership and Peace in Life Through Surrender, Identity, and Seeking God

11 minutes

This podcast is for the Christian woman who is juggling leadership, marriage, motherhood, and everything in between. You’re not just a leader at work—you’re leading in your home, your church, and your community.

In this episode, I’m (re)sharing:

My story: From a childhood of insecurity and approval-seeking to a leadership role in corporate healthcare—and how God transformed my approach to life and leadership.

Why this podcast exists: The struggles of women in leadership, especially post-pandemic, inspired me to create a space to address burnout, overwhelm, and the search for true purpose.

Three guiding principles for peace and purpose: Using the acronym S.I.S., I’ll introduce the essential steps that anchor my leadership and my faith.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

The courage to surrender: How releasing fear, overwhelm, and anxiety to God gives us strength to move forward.

The truth about identity: Why your worth doesn’t depend on others’ approval but is rooted in being a wholly loved daughter of the King.

Seeking Jesus as your leadership model: Discover how leading with the fruits of the Spirit can transform your influence and leave a legacy that honors God.

Key Scriptures Mentioned

2 Corinthians 12:9 – "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."

Romans 8:31 – "If God is for us, who can ever be against us?"

Why This Matters

As a busy, professional woman, you may feel like you’re giving everything to everyone—your job, your family, your team—but are left with nothing for yourself. I’ve been there, Sister. And I want you to know this: you don’t have to stay trapped in fear, burnout, or approval-seeking. God’s way brings freedom, peace, and renewed purpose.

Who This Podcast Is For

This show is for Christian women leaders who are:

Feeling overwhelmed by their responsibilities.

Seeking balance in their personal and professional lives.

Tired of people-pleasing and ready to embrace God’s calling on their lives.

Ready to lead with grace, rooted in faith and the truth of God’s Word.

I hope this episode blesses you!

Tanya
