Whew—this one is a necessary pause. If you’ve been busy, burnt out, or bouncing from one idea to the next, this episode will meet you right where you are. I’m talking about the difference between doing all the things and actually being in alignment with what God is saying now. Because sometimes, what looks like stagnation is really God saving you from going too far off path.

✨ Inside this episode:

• How to tell when you’re out of alignment with your assignment
• Why striving is not the strategy
• The blessing in waiting for divine instruction

Branded by God Journal Prompt: Where in my life am I adding things that God didn’t assign? What would alignment look like practically this week?

To-Do This Week: Audit your schedule or business goals. Highlight anything that feels heavy, forced, or outside of your grace right now. Then ask God, “Is this mine to carry?”

In this first episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it truly means to be Branded by God. This isn’t just a catchy name or another Christian business—it’s a calling. I share the origin of the movement and how God led me to create a space for Kingdom women who are building, becoming, and believing for more. Whether you’re a visionary, a mama, a ministry leader, or all three—you carry something that’s marked by Heaven.

✨ In this episode, we explore:

The deeper meaning behind being “branded by God”

Why identity must come before strategy

How to confidently walk out what God placed inside you

📝 Branded by God Journal Prompt:

What evidence do I see in my life that I’ve been set apart for something bigger than me? Where have I been playing small because I forgot who I am?

📌 To-Do This Week:

Take 15 minutes to write a declaration of who you are in Christ. Speak it out loud daily this week and notice what shifts.

Episode Summary: In a world that praises hustle and perfection, how do you lead with grace, alignment, and intention? In this episode of Branded by God, Brittnee N. Smith sits down with Dr. Tamara Dias—educator, leadership coach, and founder of Leading for Good—for a heart-to-heart on what it really looks like to lead in a way that honors both God and yourself.

Dr. Tamara shares how unexpected shifts in her career led her to rediscover purpose through entrepreneurship. Together, they unpack what it means to lead without losing yourself, how to prioritize alignment over achievement, and why rest and obedience are leadership strategies too.
