The Speaking and Storytelling Podcast: for Christ-led Entrepreneurs + Leaders

What does it mean to let go of perfectionism, embrace playfulness, and break free from the fear of messing up on stage? 

This episode is an invitation to rethink what authentic, bold speaking really looks like - especially for Christ-led speakers and leaders. 

We explore how over-preparing and rigidity can rob us of both joy and presence, not only in our talks but in everyday life. 

You'll discover the secret ingredient to unlocking your confidence, connecting with your audience, and allowing room for spontaneity and the Holy Spirit. 

Plus, I guide you through a simple exercise and announce an upcoming workshop designed to help speakers of all backgrounds bring more fun, flexibility, and God-led joy to their craft.

Do you have a disordered attachment to praise, perfection, and productivity? 

Is your mental clutter holding you back from speaking the way God wants you to?

Do you desire to speak with clarity because you are concerned about souls, and not about your own personal glory and praise?

Today, I am joined by Kylie Hein to hear her journey from striving high achiever to helping Catholic women find true rest and clarity through mindset coaching and prayer.

Kylie is a Certified Catholic Mindset Coach, speaker, and host of the Persistence in Prayer podcast. With a background in education, coaching, spiritual direction, and a Master’s in Ministry, she helps Catholic women deepen their faith and decrease anxiety by teaching them how to clear out the mental clutter that blocks the voice of God. Through her work, she guides women to embrace their God-given temperament, enjoy their current season, and find true rest. 

Tune in to hear Kylie share:

• About overcoming perfectionism, 
• The power of creating mental space to hear God’s voice, 
• Heartfelt stories about learning to be present,
• Seeking rest before productivity, and
• The importance of embracing our seasons, mess and all. 

Kylie offers practical tips for speakers and leaders to clear mental clutter, surrender outcomes, and confidently share their message. 

This honest conversation is filled with faith, wisdom, and encouragement for anyone looking to live and speak from a place of purpose and peace.
