  • Unpacking the Orphan Spirit

    We tackle the orphan spirit, why high-achieving women often feel saved but not seated in the kingdom, and how to move from performance to belonging with Abba. We share scripture, prayer, and simple practices to break striving and receive love.

    • defining the orphan spirit and its roots in trauma and family of origin
    • high achievers, control, and the fear of surrender
    • culture’s “do it all alone” message and loss of community
    • authority versus fatherhood and intimacy with God
    • symptoms: striving, people-pleasing, hyper-independence, inability to rest
    • core scriptures that replace lies with truth
    • practical steps: renounce, replace, rewire with action
    • daily rhythms of worship, prayer, and receiving help
    • moving leadership from proving to inheritance

    Go into prayer now: tell Him everything that came up and let Abba meet you

  • Is Imposter Syndrome Biblical?

    We challenge the myth that credentials create calling and show how surrender, obedience, and service dismantle imposter syndrome. Scripture, story, and practical steps help re-root identity and authority in Christ so bold action becomes natural.

    • defining imposter syndrome as misplaced authority
    • qualifications versus God’s calling and commission
    • control, perfectionism, and the need to be seen
    • service over self using the burning house analogy
    • doing it messy while you learn and repent
    • Matthew 10:19–20 and speaking without fear
    • authority anchored in the cross, not metrics
    • chosen and appointed: intimacy fuels courage
    • weakness as capacity for grace and growth
    • stewardship of clients, culture, and legacy
    • two-part cure: surrender and service

  • Obedience Over Idols with Cali Arauz

    We share a raw story of obedience, idolatry, and identity—how a pro bodybuilder heard “You’re done,” laid down the sport she loved, and found deeper peace, new desires, and a re-ordered life with God on the throne. We also unpack money, business, and the quiet habits that tune your heart to God’s voice.

    • obedience as a daily practice over big moments
    • when a good thing becomes an idol
    • hearing God’s voice and acting fast
    • peace that follows surrender
    • preparing for motherhood and changing desires
    • guarding your heart and reordering loves
    • Bible study rhythms that build real hunger
    • money, revenue, and worth untangled
    • serving first and letting provision follow
    • testimony, community, and seeking depth

  • Kingdom Wealth: The Lie of Poverty, Shame and Staying Small with Rachel Wortman

    Rachel Wortman and I dive deep into the complex relationship between money and faith, exploring how shame and false humility can prevent Christian women from stepping into their full calling.

    • Growing up in privilege but later taking a vow of poverty after seeing money make people sad and stressed
    • Breaking free from shame-based thinking about wealth and recognizing God's desire for our abundance
    • Understanding that Jesus demonstrated a life without shame through parables like the Prodigal Son
    • Recognizing that God's provision typically comes through empowering the work of our hands
    • Distinguishing between blessing (which adds no sorrow) and worldly wealth (which brings anxiety)
    • Seeing how prosperity in the hands of Kingdom-minded women solves real problems
    • Learning to carry blessing "lightly" without attachment while maximizing its impact
    • Shifting from a knight mentality (serving from underneath) to a child of the King (serving from beside)
    • Examining whether our ambition flows from self-glorification or Kingdom advancement

  • High Performance Hot Takes

    The nuance between discipline and hustle culture matters—it's possible to be ambitious and restful, structured and spontaneous when we understand that God designed our personalities for specific purposes.

    • Waking up early only makes sense if you're getting 8-9 hours of sleep
    • Working longer hours should only be justified if you're getting high focus output
    • If you cannot do something forever, don't do it for a day—consistency matters more than intensity
    • Breaks are critical for both productivity and spiritual growth
    • Learning and honing skills is more important than busy work
    • God's design for you is aligned with His purpose for you
    • Pay attention to what traits get strengthened as you grow closer to Christ
    • Christianity and being a follower of God often look different than what we initially expect
    • The Lord wants His daughters in order—prepared and disciplined while also resting and trusting

  • Becoming the Woman to Lead a Movement with Katie Chetcuti

    Chat with me and client, Katie Chetcuti about her growth, her movement and what she did to make it all happen

    What truly sets Katie's approach apart is her commitment to high standards. By completely stepping into her next level leadership and setting clear expectations, she's created a thriving "vegan girl gang" where members proudly identify with the community and inspire each other. The results speak for themselves: clients qualifying for powerlifting competitions, running 200-mile relays, achieving significant weight loss and more than anything? HER LOVING HER BUSINESS 

    Katie's philosophy of "stretch seasons" (intentionally taking on more responsibility than feels comfortable) has expanded her capacity in all areas of life. From signing up for a 10-mile race after a powerlifting meet to moving downtown and investing in high-level business mentorship, she constantly pushes her boundaries. "How much room is God going to create for me to expand?" she asks. "And when I do that, my clients do that, my community does that."

    Ready to embrace your own purpose and build something people genuinely want to be part of? Listen to Katie's powerful advice: "Listen and leap." Your capacity is greater than you imagine.

  • Breaking Co-Dependency with Clients

    Are you waking up anxious, immediately going to client messages and feeling like you need to check in with them 24/7? 

    This is for you.

    One of the most common dynamics is the codependency with clients in mentorship spaces. Not only hindering their results but your business longevity as well. Communication and relational dynamics go straight across the board which means if it is happening in business, it is happening in your personal life (and vice versa). Let's talk about what it looks like and how to overcome it!
