Sometimes we hold ourselves hostage to pressure, performance, or perfection but real breakthrough begins when we surrender. 

When we say, "God, I release control and give you permission to move my way, in Your way." 

Letting go is not weakness; it’s worship. 

When we release what no longer serves our destiny, we make room for God’s best.

If you have held on for too long, this episode is your invitation. I pray you find the strength to let go and let God in.

In this premiere episode, I will be sharing my personal journey from building platforms to building people. A divine shift that began when God interrupted my business coaching career with one instruction: “Build people.”

Through tears, questions, surrender, and faith, I discovered that God is not impressed with what we build unless He is the foundation.

Whether you’re navigating motherhood, leadership, or ministry, this podcast will equip you to thrive — not just in what you do, but in who you are becoming in Christ.

If you're tired of striving, burnout, and spiritual disconnection, if you are a woman in transition, a leader craving depth, and for you feeling the tug of more, it's time to step into the rhythms of rest, purpose, and identity.

📖 Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and every other thing will be added unto us (Matthew 6:33)

🌿 What You'll Learn in This Podcast:

• The true definition of Kingdom success
• Redefine success from a Kingdom perspective
• Heal from performance-driven living
• Embrace spiritual alignment and Kingdom purpose
