  • 71 | Breaking Through Cancer: How to Heal the Body Naturally with Founder Giselle Monroe

    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.

  • 68 | Faith-Based Branding: How to Ditch Comparison, Perfectionism or AI Overload — with Melissa Maughn

    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.

  • 67 | Heal the Root Causes Behind Burnout, Striving, and People-Pleasing with Therapist Kim Page

    If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the right things—but still feel empty—this episode is for you.

    Today I’m joined by Kim Page, therapist, coach, and founder of Living Vine Counseling. Kim shares her powerful story of breaking free from rejection, fear of man, and self-doubt so she could finally step into her God-given identity—and help others do the same.

    We talk about what’s really going on beneath the surface of burnout, why it seems like we are driven by a never ending "to-do" list that never seems to be done and how people-pleasing keeps us from walking in the authority God has given us as we shrink back to stay "likable".

    In this breakthrough conversation, Kim unpacks:

    • The emotional and spiritual root causes of burnout and over-performance

    • What it takes to shift from survival mode into true rest

    • Why identity and abiding go hand-in-hand for Christian women leaders

    If you’re tired of carrying it all, constantly questioning your worth, or just wondering why you feel so worn out—you’re not alone.

    This episode will remind you that freedom doesn’t come from doing more.
    It comes from letting God heal what’s underneath.

  • 63 | How to Stop People-Pleasing Behaviors and Lead From a Place of Confidence

    In this powerful episode, I sit down with Christian Life Coach Anne Wooten, whose story of spiritual burnout, people-pleasing, and personal transformation is sure to resonate with any woman who’s felt stuck in a cycle of striving and self-doubt.

    Anne opens up about the root causes behind her decades-long struggle to receive love—from others and from God—and how people-pleasing left her emotionally exhausted, spiritually disconnected, and feeling unworthy. But her story didn’t end there. God used a season of brokenness to bring Anne into freedom, clarity, and deep-rooted identity in Christ.

    Together, we unpack:

    • How faith leads us to true forgiveness—starting with ourselves

    • Why people-pleasing is a form of pride (and how to break free from it)

    • How journaling with the Holy Spirit can rewire your mindset and bring daily peace

    • The connection between unforgiveness and spiritual stagnation

    • Why receiving God’s love is the key to walking confidently in your purpose

    Anne also shares her powerful Faith Lift Challenge and a quote that will shift your mindset each morning:

    “Let gratitude be the compass of your attitude.”

    If you’ve been walking through a season of transition, uncertainty, or just feeling spiritually off—this episode is your invitation to slow down, sit with Jesus, and let Him renew your heart and mind.

    🎧 Listen in and be reminded: You don’t have to earn God’s love. You just need to receive it—and live like it’s true.

  • 62 | How to Advocate for Healing in the Face of Medical Trauma with Crystal Griffith

    Illness is something most of us don’t want to think about—until we have to.

    Whether it’s a diagnosis that shook your world, a child’s complex health journey, or the emotional aftermath of caregiving, the truth is: medical trauma touches almost every woman at some point.

    In today’s powerful episode, I’m joined by speaker and advocate Crystal Griffith—a cancer survivor, medical mom of a child with 24 diagnoses, and the founder of Medical Mom Warriors. Crystal is also an inner healing coach and speaker who equips women to move from isolation to advocacy, and from survival to deep healing.

    We talk about:

    • What to do when you feel dismissed, unseen, or bullied by the medical system

    • How to advocate for your child and yourself when no one else seems to listen

    • The emotional toll of caregiving—and how to heal spiritually and physically

    • How community sharing can unlock answers and solutions doctors may overlook

    • Detoxing, frequency healing, trauma recovery, and partnering with God for full-body wellness

    • Why your worth is not tied to your diagnosis, trauma, or pain

    Whether you're a medical mom, a caregiver, or simply navigating your own health battle — this episode is packed with practical resources and soul-level encouragement.

    Crystal reminds us: you are not crazy, you are not alone, and you have every right to say no, ask questions, and walk away when something doesn't feel right.
