We live in a world where screens are everywhere — in the grocery store, at the park, even around our dinner tables. Technology tied to us has become the new norm, but at what cost?

In this episode of Freed to Lead, I sit down with Shannon Coulter, founder of Planet Fasa and author of the children’s series The Fasa Tales, to talk about how technology is shaping our kids and stealing more than just our time. Shannon shares why she walked away from corporate America to help families rediscover the joy of play, imagination, and healthy rhythms.

This isn’t about going screen-free — it’s about creating a new way forward. We dive into the divisiveness of our “devices,” what constant scrolling is doing to our creativity (and our kids’), and practical ways to build freedom into your home so you stay connected to the right power source.

If you’ve been longing to renew your mind, reclaim your time, and raise confident, Christ-centered kids who aren’t bound by devices, this conversation will equip and encourage you to live sharpened, not dulled, by technology.

What do you do when the pain feels too big to forgive? When the betrayal, rejection, or broken trust still keeps you up at night?

If you’ve ever thought, “I can’t forgive them… not after what they did,” this episode is for you.

In Part 4 of the series This Is What Happens When a Woman Listens to God, we're getting real about forgiveness — and how to actually do it, so you can have greater peace, experience healing, and find freedom.

Inside this episode you’ll learn:

✨ Why forgiveness is about what we chose to focus on so we can release the offense
✨ The truth about forgiveness vs. reconciliation
✨ How unforgiveness is actually keeping you chained to the past, opening the door to oppression in your life and hindering your health— and what happens when we let it go!
✨ A framework to forgiving and choosing freedom when everything in you wants to hold on to the hurt

Forgiveness is not weakness. It’s not pretending it didn’t happen. And it’s not about them deserving it.

Forgiveness is strength. Forgiveness is freedom. And when a woman listens to God, she becomes unstoppable.

You’re praying. You’re showing up. You’re following what you think God asked you to do… but nothing’s moving.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re stuck in a season you didn’t choose, this episode will help you see your waiting through a different lens.

In Part 3 of our series This Is What Happens When a Woman Listens to God, we’re talking about how to wait well—because it’s not just about getting to the promise, it’s about how you walk through the process.

We’ll unpack why God sometimes slows us down, how to stay faithful when nothing seems to be happening, and how to recognize the hidden work He’s doing in you while you wait.

If you’ve been feeling weary in the waiting, you’ll leave this episode encouraged, rooted, and reminded that His timing is perfect—even here.

Welcome to Part 1 of our new series: This Is What Happens When a Woman Listens to God. We’re kicking things off by exploring where real confidence comes from.

Not from striving in our own ability, performing, or trying to desperately prove ourself—but from learning to listen to God. When a woman is rooted in who God says she is, she becomes steady, secure and unshakable.

In this episode, we’ll talk about what it looks like to move and flow with quiet conviction, stay anchored in truth, and walk confidently in your identity and purpose. This is the starting point for women who are ready to renew their mind, lead with clarity, and live whole, healed, and healthy—inside and out.

What if your biggest health battle became the doorway to your greatest Kingdom assignment?

In this powerful episode of Freed to Lead, I’m joined by Giselle Monroe, a cancer survivor, woman of faith, and founder of WET—Women’s Everlasting Touch. After being diagnosed with cancer, Giselle began searching for clean, natural ways to support her healing. But what she found was that nearly every product was loaded with chemicals and toxic ingredients that worked against the body—not with it.

That’s when God began to birth something new.

Out of her personal pain and deep desire to heal the body naturally, Giselle started creating her own skincare products—using ingredients she could trust and oils that nourish instead of harm. But this wasn’t just about lotion or body butter. It became a ministry of natural healing, obedience, and faith.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Surviving cancer and finding purpose through healing
• Chemicals in everyday skincare harming your health

• What ingredients and essential oils actually nourish the skin and support healing
• Simple ways to begin transitioning your skincare routine to all-natural
  

If you’ve ever wondered how to support your body naturally, how to honor God through your wellness choices, or how faith can guide your healing journey—this episode is for you.

Do you ever feel like you’re working so hard to build a brand that fits everyone else… but somehow leaves you out of it?

You’re showing up, doing all the “right” things, but it still feels off—like you’re chasing a version of success that was never really yours to begin with.

In this episode, I sit down with Personal Brand Strategist Melissa Maughn to talk about what it really looks like to build a personal brand without striving, perfectionism, or losing your voice in a world full of AI and algorithms.

Melissa shares her story of building a brand from pressure and performance—until a powerful encounter with God shifted everything. Now, she helps women create brands that reflect their true identity in Christ—not just what looks successful on the surface.

We talk about:

• The pressure to build a brand that checks all the boxes—but doesn’t feel like you

• Why perfectionism and overthinking keep you stuck

• The cost of relying too heavily on AI and losing your real voice

• How to create a brand with God at the center—and peace in the process

If you’ve felt stuck, unseen, or unsure how to show up online in a way that’s authentic and aligned with your faith, this episode will meet you right where you are.
