If you hit a tuning fork and hold another one right next to it, the second one, never struck, will tune to the one that was struck.

Friend, that is exactly what happens with your kids.

This summer I am teaching my Inner Circle a powerful nervous system tool, and I could not wait to bring it to you. When the milk spills at 6AM, and it will, your response becomes your child's blueprint for how to handle life. 

In This Episode You'll Learn:

• Why you only have two nervous system gears; white-knuckling or regulated and how to know which one you're in
• The physiological sigh, a Stanford-researched breathing technique that resets your mood in minutes
• What the CROWN framework's capture and renew actually looks like in real time
• Why your body keeps a running tab of fight or flight and how to start writing a new story
• The tuning fork effect, how your regulated nervous system becomes your child's blueprint
• Why moving your body is one of the fastest ways to reset a dysregulated nervous system
• How to prepare for the seasons of the month when staying calm takes a little more prayer and a little more grace

3 Tools for Nervous System Regulation:

1. Breathing — the physiological sigh: deep breath in, second small inhale, long exhale out
2. Capture & Renew — catch the spiral, speak truth over it immediately
3. Move Your Body — lift heavy, go for a walk, get fresh oxygenated blood flowing

Have you ever wondered what the Bible specifically says about the role of the wife?

My husband and I just finished our very first Marriage Made in Heaven live event and it was beyond all I could ever ask or imagine. If you have ever felt unqualified, that is exactly who God uses. I struggled here big time. I still do. And it is only by the Word of God and the grace of God that we are coming up on 17 years married.

In this episode I am walking you through the scriptures on the role of the wife that changed everything for me and giving you the workbook I made for our live retreat, completely free. 

In This Episode You'll Learn:

• Every key scripture on the role of the wife - Proverbs 12:4, 14:1, 31:27-28, Ephesians 5:24, 1 Peter 3:1, and more
• Why I allowed my husband to become a passive leader and the corporate dinner that changed everything
• What it means to speak to the king in your husband, not the fool
• Why submission is a place of protection, not a cuss word
• The premarital counseling advice that has carried our marriage for 17 years, out-serve each other
• Why prayer is the only thing that has ever changed anything in my marriage
• The non-negotiables I hold to keep our marriage above reproach
• Why fixing yourself is always the first step, not fixing your spouse
• How to speak to your husband in a way that builds him up instead of tearing him down

Friend, later is a lie.

That is the phrase Brooke Hemingway dropped on me, and I have not been able to shake it since.

Brooke Hemingway is an accidental entrepreneur who became a 7-figure earner in just two years in the network marketing industry, developing dozens of successful entrepreneurs along the way and nearly burned herself out in the process. She is a mom of six, wife to an ER doc, founder of Align Events, and one of the most real and raw women I have had the honor of sitting across from.

This episode is not a highlight reel. This is the story of a marriage that almost broke, an identity that had to be rebuilt, and a woman who decided obedience mattered more than comfort. 

About Brooke Hemingway:

Brooke Hemingway is an accidental entrepreneur who, after bringing five humans into the world, had a crash course in business, marketing, leadership, and personal development. She quickly became a 7-figure earner within two years in the network marketing industry, personally helping to develop dozens of successful entrepreneurs along the way. Her rapid success nearly led to burnout, and she spent the time, energy, and money to do the hard personal work of learning what it truly means to live a successful life. To Brooke, success is the combination of joy, meaningful relationships, prosperity, and purposeful impact.

How much is the story you are telling yourself actually costing you?

That is the question Molly asks her clients before anything else, and it stopped me cold.

Molly Gomez is a former television reporter turned international speaker and Sound & Story Strategist. She is the creator of the Seven Story System, founder of Aligned & Assigned, and the very first Inner Circle client I have ever had on this podcast. Her husband recently enlisted in the US Army, walking away from a successful media career to start at the bottom and Molly walked right alongside him with a renewed marriage, a fierce standard of excellence, and a story worth telling.

This episode is packed with wisdom on storytelling, standards, marriage, and what it actually looks like to fight for your possibilities instead of your limitations. 

In This Episode You'll Learn:

• Why Molly asks "how much is that story costing you" before helping anyone reframe their limiting beliefs
• What it looks like to be a master connector who genuinely cares, not a spam marketer in disguise
• Why Molly holds a standard of excellence even when no one is watching, and where that conviction comes from
• The Marriage Made in Heaven hour at Inner Circle retreat that changed everything for Molly and her husband
• The courtroom analogy her husband used that broke her heart open and how she began leading differently
• Why Molly writes her husband letters twice a week while he is in Army training and what each one says
• Molly's five-word daily prayer, "Holy Spirit, reveal and heal" and why she prays it every single day
• Why Molly says quitting the apology habit was one of the biggest reframes in her own life
• What it means to fight for people's possibilities while they fight for their limitations

About Molly Gomez:

Molly Gomez is a former television reporter turned international speaker and Sound & Story Strategist who helps founders refine their sound, amplify their story, and steward their influence well.

Her first word was hallelujah.

Not mama. Not dada. Hallelujah, at nine months old in the radiology department at Rady Children's after her echocardiogram.

Anna Destiny Spitsbergen was born three months premature at one pound three ounces. Her grandpa prophesied over her that she would live and sing like the angels in heaven. She had open heart surgery at six months old. She spent 105 days in the NICU. And she is the entire reason I started my first business.

Today she is 15 years old, writing worship songs, leading chapel band at school, running a YouTube channel, and boldly proclaiming the name of Jesus everywhere she goes.

In This Episode You'll Learn:

• Anna's miracle story from the beginning, from the NICU to open heart surgery to her first word being hallelujah
• Why she started a YouTube channel and what she believes God has called her to do through music
• How being bullied in middle school led her to write her original song Who Said
• The scripture in John that broke through the bullying and gave her a breakthrough this week
• What it looks like to raise a daughter who finds her confidence in God not in the world
• How traveling the world as an entrepreneur's daughter shaped her faith and her dreams
• Why she puts scripture to music and how the Bible has become her greatest songwriting inspiration
• What Anna wants to do when she grows up and why it sounds a lot like Phil Wickham's summer worship nights
• What Anna sings live on the podcast, yes really

My life wasn't gloomy before. But was I in the glory of God? No, I was not.

Those are Jess the Best's words. 

In 18 months, this woman went from opening a Bible for the first time to having a face-to-face encounter with Jesus in the shower, standing in peace while her husband nearly flat-lined, and declaring revival in the middle of the hardest season of her life.

• How Jess went from reading her Bible for the first time to finishing it cover to cover in one year
• What happened in the four hours without a phone at the Inner Circle retreat that changed everything
• The moment Jess surrendered on the white couch and got black mascara all over it
• The shower encounter where Jesus appeared and said "Lay hands on your husband and he will be healed"
• What it looked like to stand in perfect peace while her husband nearly flat-lined in the cancer ward
• Why she turned "I'm in survival mode" into "I'm in revival" and showed up to the next call in a Revival hat
• How Jess went from almost canceling the retreat to having the greatest transformation in the room
• What she tells the mom who wants to raise faith-filled kids but doesn't know where to start
• Why from gloom to glory is the most powerful four-word transformation story she has ever heard

You asked for the Fab Four. We are delivering.

This is the first kid episode of the For His Glory CEO Podcast and I could not think of a better person to kick it off than my daughter Naomi Kate, 12, ahead of her time since the day she was born, and real and raw in the best possible way.

We talk about what it is actually like to grow up as an entrepreneur's daughter. The behind the scenes. The funny moments. The hard moments. The moment we lost everything on a 21-minute Zoom call and what she saw from the couch. And the moment she put the gift of her heavenly language on her Christmas wish list at nine years old and got it on Christmas Eve.

Friend, this one is going to make you laugh, make you cry, and make you hug your kids a little tighter today. 

In This Episode You'll Learn:

• What Naomi says it is actually like to grow up as an entrepreneur's daughter
• The retreat moment at nine years old that changed everything for her and what happened the very next Sunday
• How she went from crying on stage in front of 30 six and seven figure women to leading worship at school without nerves
• What Naomi saw the day I lost my business on a 21-minute Zoom call and what she learned from watching the rebuild
• Why one-on-one time with your kids matters more than anything else you can give them
• What Naomi says is the right move when a mom snaps, straight from an 11-year-old's perspective
• The lipstick moment, the bathtub swimming moment, and why if it's funny later it's funny now
• What Naomi's goals are for summer 2026 and the mic drop she ends with
• Why Naomi says above everything else, just trust the Lord because He has a plan for your life
