In this encouraging episode, Dr. Sheila Cornea shares how isolation can derail your God-given calling—and how authentic community can reignite your clarity, confidence, and momentum.

Sheila draws from scripture, personal stories, and leadership experiences to highlight why community is essential for Christian women leaders who are building ministries, businesses, or faith-driven initiatives.

If you’ve ever wondered why building your vision feels so lonely, or struggled to move forward alone, this episode will inspire and equip you to step into greater impact through connection.
