  • S3 E1 | Deaf, Dumb, and Numb: How the enemy used my mental health to keep me in a fog

    If the enemy can’t destroy you, he’ll distract you - until you’re deaf, dumb, or numb. This is a war for minds. And today, we fight for clarity.We go straight into spiritual warfare around mental health: the Helmet of Salvation, counterfeit peace, and how numbness can quietly steal discernment. Tiffany shares her personal story with antidepressants, without shame, without compromise, and calls listeners back to sober-minded, Spirit-led clarity.Important Disclaimer: This episode contains personal testimony and spiritual discernment, not medical advice. Do not start, stop, or change medication without your licensed clinician.5 STEPS TO GUARD YOUR MIND THIS WEEK1.

  • God-Sized Identity in a Self-Defined World

    In this episode of Shine Bright. Speak Truth., we explore what it means to live with a God-sized identity in a self-defined world. Culture pressures us to brand ourselves, perform, and curate an identity based on hustle and highlight reels. But God offers something radically different: a secure, Spirit-led identity rooted in who He says we are.

    We unpack 3 common identity distortions and discover the freedom of abiding in our positioned, purchased, and purposed identity in Christ.

    In this episode you’ll hear:

    • Why self-definition ultimately exhausts you
    • The 3 distortions that keep us stuck
    • The peace that comes from surrendering to God’s identity for you
    • A journal prompt to help you release false labels


    Scripture anchor:

    Ephesians 2:10 — "For we are God’s masterpiece..."

    Tune in, get honest, and walk away renewed.

  • "Not Now" is not Failure

    After a season of silence, grief, and deep soul work, I’m back behind the mic—and not as the same woman who hit pause. I’m pulling back the curtain on what it looks like to walk through hard, hidden seasons where your spark feels lost, your prayers feel quiet, and your purpose feels unclear.


    If you’ve ever wondered “Am I where I thought I’d be?”—in your soul, in your healing, in your faith—this episode is for you.


    Together, we’ll reflect on expectations vs. reality at the halfway point of the year and ask the deeper questions that lead to spiritual alignment, not just productivity. You’ll hear how God met me in the quiet, stripped me of performance, and gently realigned me with His truth—and how He can do the same for you.


    Inside this episode:

    • My personal testimony of spiritual burnout and holy healing

    • Why your “not yet” might be an invitation, not a failure

    • Journal prompts to help you pause, reflect, and realign

    • A glimpse into what’s coming this season on the show


    Let this be your mid-year checkpoint—not just for your goals, but for your soul.

  • Guess who is back??? It's me, Tiffany Shae!

    It’s been a while—and in today’s episode, I share why.


    Since December, my life has taken some unexpected turns: I left my job, moved to Florida to become a live-in caregiver, experienced deep personal loss, and most recently relaunched my business in Jacksonville.


    This episode is raw and real. It’s not perfect, but it’s honest. I’m sharing what it’s like to walk through grief, transition, and uncertainty while still holding onto faith and purpose.


    If you’ve ever felt like life hit hard and knocked the wind out of you—this one’s for you.


    You haven’t missed your moment.

    You’re not disqualified.

    And you’re not alone.


    Let’s talk about picking up the pieces, showing up when it’s hard, and trusting that God is still writing your story.

  • How much will you spend this Christmas?

    Today we're tackling a topic that's especially relevant as we approach the Christmas season - spending too much money!


    As Christians, we're called to be good stewards of our resources and to find our joy in Christ rather than material possessions. A lot easier said than done when the pressure to keep up with the Joneses and spend during the holidays can be overwhelming. 


    Join the conversation by leaving me a comment and sharing what you do to help combat the temptation to overspend!!!
