In this episode of The Grace-Filled Leader podcast, we dive into the gut-brain connection and how it impacts your energy, focus, and emotional resilience as a Christian woman in leadership. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, foggy, or emotionally drained, it might not just be stress—it could be your gut health quietly sabotaging your leadership.

Tanya explores how chronic stress disrupts gut function, leads to leaky gut, and contributes to fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, and burnout. You’ll hear why your gut is more than just a digestive organ—it’s your "second brain," designed by God to communicate with your mind and body through the gut-brain axis.

We go over practical functional wellness tips, and equip you with steps to begin healing your gut, reclaim your energy, and step into your leadership role with renewed vitality.

If you’re a Christian woman juggling leadership, faith, family, and wellness, this episode will show you how to steward your health God’s way—because thriving leaders create thriving teams.

I hope this episode blesses you!

Leadership is challenging—especially when people don’t respond the way we need them to.

In this episode, we explore the "Let Them" theory through a Christian lens, discussing how to lead with trust, surrender, and faith while maintaining accountability.

If you've been frustrated by unresponsive leaders or negative team members, this conversation will encourage you to release what you can’t control and focus on leading with integrity.

Tune in for biblical wisdom, practical strategies, and a reminder that when people don’t show up as they should, we can trust God and let them.

I hope this episode blesses you!
