54. Sacred Stillness: How Silence Strengthens Your Leadership


Listen Later

In this episode, Jeannette gets personal about one of the most overlooked but essential leadership practices: silence and solitude. Drawing from her own journey of burnout in the early years of ministry, while also raising kids and carrying the weight of leadership, she shares how contemplative spiritual practices became a lifeline, not just for survival, but for deep soul-level transformation.

This isn’t a flashy leadership strategy or a quick productivity tip. It’s the quiet, grounded rhythm that can anchor your identity, renew your connection with God, and sustain your leadership for the long haul.

You’ll discover:

  • Why so many leaders resist slowing down—and why you can’t afford to
  • The difference between leading for God and leading with God
  • What a personal silent retreat can look like (and how to start one)
  • How solitude strengthens your clarity, courage, and calling

  • If you’ve been feeling the pressure to perform, produce, or prove your worth, this conversation will remind you: your soul matters. And from a soul that is well, you can lead with peace, purpose, and power.
