Seek First CEO is a podcast for high-performing, faith-led women who are done choosing between success and peace. Hosted by Heather Shriver Burns, Master Coach and speaker, this show explores the intersection of neuroscience, Scripture, and spirit-led strategy — helping women understand their inner world so they can lead, build, and steward their mission from alignment instead of pressure. These conversations are for the woman who knows she’s anointed to lead, called to abundance, and tired of doing everything “right” while freedom still feels just out of reach. Because when you seek first the Kingdom, leadership flows differently — and everything else follows. Want to connect?

Most high-performing women do not realize they are already burned out because they still know how to function.
They are still producing. Still leading. Still building. Still showing up for everyone else.
So they assume: “I’m just stressed.” “I’m just tired.” “I just need a break.”
But burnout and collapse are not the same thing.
In this episode of Seek First CEO, Heather breaks down what burnout actually looks like in high-performi...

I have had the pleasure of working exclusively with Christian women in business over the last decade. And I've noticed something I can't not share: so many women are over-spiritualizing internal experiences and calling it warfare. The problem is, that mislabeling keeps them stuck.
This episode dismantles the habit of outsourcing responsibility and replaces it with self-leadership. It draws a line between what is actually spiritual ...
What do you do when God doesn’t answer your prayers?
In this raw and honest episode, Heather opens up about a deeply personal moment with her daughter that sparked a bigger question many Christian women in business are quietly asking:
If God can answer prayers… why does it sometimes feel like He isn’t?
This conversation challenges the way we’ve been taught to view prayer, moving from a posture of begging to one of alignment, author...
Many Christian entrepreneurs say they want to build a Kingdom business.
But most are still building for the Kingdom instead of from it.
In this episode, I unpack what actually shifts when righteousness, peace, and joy become your internal operating system — and why a truly aligned business flows from embodiment, not effort.
If your business is successful but still feels heavy, this conversation will challenge how you measure growth...
Jesus said the Kingdom is within you.
So why does it feel so hard to experience peace, joy, and freedom — even when you love God and lead a successful business?
In this episode, I unpack why high-performing Christian women often struggle to access the very thing they’re building for — and how nervous system wiring, over-functioning, and identity patterns quietly block what can only be received.

My first business looked good. My current business feels good.
For years, I built something that honored God publicly — but internally, I was anxious, braced, and driven. I could post the verse. I just wasn’t living from it.
In this episode, I break down what Jesus actually taught about the Kingdom — and why it changes how you build your business and how you live your life.

There’s a hidden shame many entrepreneurial mothers carry but rarely admit.
You built your business to create more freedom and presence for your family. But instead, you found yourself pulled toward your business because it feels easier to engage with than motherhood.
Not because you love your kids less. But because your business rewards you in ways motherhood doesn’t.

You took the day off. You booked the massage. You did the bubble bath.
And you still woke up tired.
If that’s you, this episode is for you.
You’re not bad at self-care. You’re not doing it wrong. You’ve just been addressing the surface.
Because a spa day can interrupt your schedule — but it doesn’t interrupt your pattern.
And if your pattern is to carry everything, fix everything, and absorb everyone else’s emotions… you’ll rest — ...
In this episode, we’re getting honest about the real reason high performers struggle to slow down—even when they know rest is biblical, healthy, and necessary.
We’re breaking down what’s happening in your nervous system when you try to rest (hello, guilt + restlessness), why information alone doesn’t change behavior, and how small, intentional micro-rests—re-trains your body to feel safe enough to actually enjoy rest.
Because rest ...
You don’t need more Bible verses. You don’t need new strategies. You don’t need better mindset shifts.
You need to learn how to integrate what you already know.
In this episode, we unpack why high-performing, Kingdom-minded entrepreneurs can consume incredible content—books, podcasts, sermons, strategies—and still feel capped, frustrated, or tense at their next level.
This isn’t a discipline problem. It’s not a faith problem. And i...
You were never meant to build the Kingdom through your business. So what were you meant to do?
Jesus didn’t invite His followers to build something for God. He invited them to do something different.
In this episode, we return to Jesus’ teachings on the Kingdom and explore a quiet but powerful shift many leaders miss: the Kingdom isn’t something you do for God—it’s something you learn how to live from with Him.
This is a conversat...
When someone asks “How are you?” it’s easy to default to “I’m fine.” But for high-performing Christian women, “fine” is often code for functioning—pushing through stress, carrying massive responsibility, and calling it normal. In this episode, Heather breaks down the subtle signs your nervous system is stuck in go-mode, why “safe” can feel unfamiliar, and how to start shifting out of chronic activation without abandoning your calli...
We love new beginnings — new years, new opportunities, new seasons.
But if you’ve ever wondered why:
a new year didn’t change how you feel
a new opportunity didn’t change your patterns
believing harder didn’t lead to lasting change
…this episode is for you.
In this conversation, I’m sharing the truth about new beginnings that most people never hear: real change doesn’t happen through mindset alone.
I talk about:
In this episode, I’m breaking down the 5 biggest myths about nervous system work and what every Christian woman needs to know before starting this journey.
If you’ve ever thought nervous system work means you’ll always be calm, or if you’ve worried it was “too new age,” this conversation will set you free.
Here’s what I’ll cover:
Why healing often feels worse before it feels better
