You can trust him to do the same for you. The enemy doesn't want us to ever see our true identity and will do whatever he can to keep us in the dark and doubting. But God is always ready and waiting for us with open arms!
This is a POWERFUL episode sharing the love God has for his children! Love that is strong enough to forgive, restore and empower for a new future!

Is your current cycle of thinking preventing you from being the best you can be? On today’s episode of The Christ-Driven Woman, Charisse is joined by Dr. Jodi Solberg, a wellness coach and master hypnotherapist with a doctorate in Christian Counseling. Dr. Solberg is also the founder of Psyched Up Success and a strong advocate for trauma recovery and prevention. Charisse and Dr. Solberg discuss the importance of self-reflection and mental health, and highlight the following points:
The human mind is a beautiful and perplexing creation that is constantly changing and seeking growth. Dr. Solberg reminds listeners that you have more control over your mind and your subconscious than you believe. The trauma that you may be carrying from experiences in childhood or in adulthood does not need to be a detriment or a focus of shame. You have the ability to make a difference within your own mind, which will then positively affect your present reality and future generations.

On today’s episode of The Christ-Driven Woman, Charisse is joined by Dr. Dionne Greaves, a business lifestyle strategist and founder of The Mompreneur CEO. Dr. Greaves believes she has been called to support and encourage high-achieving women as they navigate life’s challenges and transitions, and she is driven by a mission to redefine success. Charisse and Dr. Greaves engage in an inspiring conversation about success, authenticity, and reliance on God, and they highlight the following points:
Many high-achieving women lack the support systems and safe spaces they need because they’ve grown accustomed to pretending that they have it all together. Charisse and Dionne remind listeners that perfection is an unattainable standard, and the Lord doesn’t ask for us to be perfect, but to be authentic. If you find yourself lacking the support you need to withstand the pressure, look to the Lord and take ownership of your purpose. When you are living the purpose-driven life, the Lord is your pilot and chief navigator. So what are you going to do with the situation that God has placed you in? Will you answer His call and plant something that He can one day harvest?

On today’s episode of The Christ-Driven Woman, Charisse is joined by guest Melissa Harris, a wealth coach and Christian leader who empowers her clients to find their purpose and live abundantly. After being successful in varied careers, Melissa was led to the financial services industry after feeling called to teach clients how to better manage their finances. She came to realize that when people are overwhelmed by the stress of working and making money, they are less able to engage with their families and with their churches, thus neglecting their purpose in Christ. Charisse and Melissa discuss the role of money and business in the life of a Christ-follower and give the following advice:
As Christian business owners, Charisse and Melissa understand the importance of looking to God for direction, and encourage listeners to do the same. Whether you yourself own a business, lead a household, or are looking to take control of your wealth, relying on God’s wisdom is crucial to finding success. All you need to do is be present and willing, and the Lord will equip you with what you need to achieve great things in your personal life and in His greater plan.

None of us measure up. In fact, Romans 3:23 says we all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Yet, we can push ourselves to reach impossible expectations when we don’t see ourselves through the eyes of Christ.
Perfectionism is a seed planted by the enemy to make us look solely at what WE are doing in our own power - while constantly whispering that we are not enough.
Note the specific point, in our own power. What’s really interesting is the battle is actually not about being perfect. The battle is within, it's about trying to prove to yourself that you are enough.
Remarkably, when we understand that by allowing Jesus to work through us, by accepting that we are more than enough only because of Christ, the need for perfectionism disappears.
Here are 3 things that perfectionism leads to:
These are 3 steps you can take to start releasing yourself from that hold of a perfectionist mindset:

Have you been rejecting the true identity that you have been given? Is it easier to view yourself as trash, or as treasure? In today’s episode of The Christ-Driven Woman, Charisse reminds listeners that God has designed each and every one of us as a treasure, and it is the enemy who tries to convince us otherwise. If we don’t allow Jesus to correct our sense of identity, then we will inevitably look at ourselves through the lens of our past, our mistakes, and our sins. Charisse encourages us with the following truths:
If you are struggling to see your worth through the eyes of Jesus, spend some time in prayer and ask God to replace the seed of critique with the truth of who you were created to be. When the seeds of self doubt are uprooted, only then can you replace those seeds with the truth found in Scripture. You are God’s treasure, and He desires to see you flourish in your worth, your purpose, and your inherent identity.

Do you ever struggle with feeling like you aren’t a “good Christian?” Like you aren’t “wholesome” enough for God? In today’s episode of The Christ-Driven Woman, Charisse speaks to those of us who may compare ourselves to other Christians, and feel like we just can’t measure up. For much of her life, the enemy tried to convince Charisse that she was not wholesome enough for her husband, not wholesome enough for a Godly life, and not wholesome enough for Jesus. Despite attacks from the enemy, God reminded Charisse of the following:
Regardless of your shortcomings and mistakes, Jesus has prepared an invitation for you at His table that will never be revoked. All He asks of us is to come as we are, and allow the transforming power of God’s love to bring us to holiness. We can never be “good enough” on our own, but we can rejoice in the fact that God does not ask us to walk through this life alone.

When you look in a mirror, what do you see looking back? Do you focus on your new gray hairs, on that pimple on your chin, or on your coffee-stained t-shirt? Or do you see a beautifully-made daughter of the King, empowered not by her appearance but by her calling? On today’s episode, Charisse is joined by guest Courtney Robinson—a speaker, style mentor, and best-selling author who uses her gifts to empower women through personal branding. After starting a business as a traditional stylist, in January of 2021 Courtney was diagnosed with four brain tumors that God used to reveal her true purpose. Now, Courtney is passionate not only about styling, but about helping women understand who God says they are, because an identity rooted in Christ amplifies a woman’s true beauty. She believes that when women step into their true identity, it shines brighter than any piece of clothing or jewelry that they could ever wear. In Charisse and Courtney’s conversation, listeners are reminded that:
Despite the triumphs and tragedies that we have been through, or the false aspects of our identities that we may believe, we can never change God’s design for our lives. All He desires for His children are lives rooted in divine identity and led by the Holy Spirit who reminds us that we are beautiful, we are called, and we are loved.

WARNING: This is a difficult episode about depression. If you are having thoughts of harming yourself please contact the Suicide Lifeline 988 or 1-800-273-TALK (8255).
This one probably should include more warnings like Made For Mature Audiences or Listen At Your Own Risk. But this is real and many people are struggling in silence.
This is something I was concerned would happen. As some of you know I fight Chronic Depression. I had a particularly nasty bout a few days ago and still not fully on the other side.
When I was praying about starting a podcast, I was a little worried this might happen...that there might come a time when I would be in the midst of a battle and have to record an episode.
So this one is more raw than any previously recorded. I have no answers to share other than, God is good. He will ALWAYS BE GOOD no matter what I'm fighting or what you are fighting. That is the one simple TRUTH I can anchor myself to. That does not mean I have any understanding. It just means I can hold onto that. Therefore, if I can believe that, can I go to the next step, the next truth, which is God loves me.
These are the first two steps I see in how to get out of the pit the enemy just pushed, pulled, kicked or slammed you into.
This is dedicated to all of you who fight this kind of battle that no one else understands.
If you can hold onto nothing else, hold onto the belief that God is good. If you need more support please reach out to the Suicide Lifeline number 988 or 1-800-273-TALK (8255). You are worth more than you can possibly imagine.

Why can it be so hard for us to believe good things about ourselves? On today’s episode of The Christ-Driven Woman, Charisse shares her own struggle with patience and growth. She encourages listeners with the truth that God has good things in store for us, and just because we need to grow through them does not mean they aren’t good. When we find ourselves lost and questioning the Father’s good plans for us, Charisse suggests asking the following questions:
After asking these questions, open your ears to receive the answers and write down what you hear. God will find a way to answer each one of these questions in a way that will reach your heart in His perfect timing. Oftentimes it can be difficult for us to think positively about ourselves because we still don’t believe that God has good things in store. If this sounds like your experience, don’t be afraid to bring your questions to the Lord who longs to know you and loves you unconditionally.
