"Protect your value. Cover yourselves. Be modest. You don't have to show everything to be seen. You're already seen by the One who matters. When it's God, you won't have to beg anybody to choose you. You will already know that you've been chosen." —Kishea Boyd

They say, 'the brightest smile hides the deepest pain'. And that is true for most of us. But if left unchecked, wounds that don't heal linger in the decisions we make and the love we chase. Yet, even if sometimes we feel more like a breaking point than a breakthrough, there is still hope waiting on the other side of heartache.

In this episode, Kishea opens up about trusting the wrong people, the sting of broken promises, the pain of loneliness, survival after heartbreak, the risky turns taken when faith wavers, finding your voice, and learning you're already seen.

Kishea Boyd is a woman whose journey began not with triumph, but with a search for identity, purpose, and the heart of God in every season. After serving over 20 years in the U.S. Coast Guard, where she honed resilience and leadership, she found her true strength not in uniform, but in faith. Rededicating her life to Christ in 1999 marked a turning point, leading her into ministry, mentorship, and a deeper understanding of who she was called to be. Through the joys of family life with her husband, Quinton, and their son, Kameron, and through the challenges that shaped her, Kishea has learned that God's love never lets go. Today, she lives to help others rediscover identity, healing, and purpose through Him.

"People assess, but God anoints. People label, but God names." —Kishea Boyd

Sometimes silence doesn't come from lack of words—it comes from the weight of being overlooked, mislabeled, or quietly disqualified. The moment you start believing those lies, they don't just quiet your voice; they rewrite how you see your worth.

Welcome to the very first episode of The Identity Midwife Podcast!

Hosted by Kishea Boyd, this podcast was born out of a simple truth: so many women are strong for everyone else, yet quietly wonder who sees them. After two decades of service in the U.S. Coast Guard, Kishea found herself stamped with labels that whispered, "not enough". Yet what looked like isolation became preparation. Today, she helps women reclaim the truth of who they are without apology and without fear.

In this episode, Kishea opens up about the season her voice went quiet and how God used rejection, shame, and silence to restore her confidence and calling. She dives deep into labels, leadership, faith, and the courage to rise when you've been told you can't.

This is only the beginning. Stay with Kishea each week as she walks with you through faith, healing, identity, and the tender process of becoming whole again. Here, you'll find a safe space to breathe, unpack the hard stuff, and rediscover who you are right in the middle of real life.

You've been located, sis— and together, we're walking back home to who you've always been.
