Leadership Becomes Her: Simple, Strategic Solutions for Christian Women Who Lead

Hey, Friend!

Today we’re talking about something that matters deeply: how parents can prepare their children to lead — at home, in their world, and in the church.

Leadership development doesn’t begin when a teenager gets their first role or when a young adult stands on a stage. It begins much earlier… in the small, daily moments inside our homes. In chores, decision-making, spiritual practices, relationship challenges, and opportun...

Hey, Friend!

Hey, Friend!

Everyone wants to lead…until it’s time to face the mirror.

In this week’s podcast, I share Ten Signs You’re Not Ready to Lead (Yet).

This is not intended to discourage you, but to invite you to see leadership through God’s lens.

Here’s the truth: Leadership isn’t about titles or power. It’s about who you are when things get messy, when plans fail, and when speaking up would be harder than staying silent.

If you’ve ever...

Hey, Friend!

If where you work or go to church values the gifts of women everybody wins.

Creating a valuing culture starts with seeing women the way Jesus did.

But before you tell yourself that you are not in a position of influence so you can’t change the culture of your work or church, listen to this episode. There are small, incremental things that you can do that will have a ripple effect to slowly change the culture.

I hope yo...

Hey, Friend!

In the last episode, I talked about The Courage to Ask for What You Need - how brave it is to voice what sustains you, instead of waiting for others to notice.

In today’s episode, we take the next step: once you have learned to ask, how do you Communicate Your Value Without Apology, fear, or defensiveness?

Here’s how. The same courage that helps you ask for what you need will help you speak up for what you bring to the...

Hey, Friend!

Today’s episode is part 2 of our series: Feeling Valued in Ministry: A Journey Toward Wholeness. This one is entitled: Reclaiming Your Worth in Ministry, because sometimes the problem isn’t that we don’t have value - it’s that we have handed it to people who were never meant to hold it,.

Reclaiming your value means calling it back home - to your identity in Christ, not your identity in titles, roles, or responsibilitie...

Hey, Friend!

Ever feel like you’re doing everything right at work — first in, last out — but somehow, the promotions keep passing you by?

Here’s the truth: hard work alone doesn’t guarantee career growth. Influence does.

That’s what I’m unpacking in this week’s podcast episode: The Secret Sauce to Increasing Your Influence at Work.

I’ll walk you through 10 practical strategies that help you: ✅ Earn trust across teams ✅ Get noticed ...

Hey, Friend!

Have you ever had a season where life just felt out of control? Maybe a loved one was making choices you couldn’t stop. Maybe circumstances—work, finances, health—spun beyond your reach.

That powerless feeling is heavy. But here’s the truth: You’re not powerless.

In this week’s podcast episode, “Feel Powerless? Begin by Controlling Your Mindset”, we’re diving into how shifting your mindset can give you freedom and peac...

Hey, Friend!

Authenticity in leadership is one of those buzzwords that everyone loves to praise—until they see what it really costs.

We’re told: “Be an authentic leader.” But no one tells us how risky it feels.

Because true authenticity isn’t about oversharing, being liked, or saying whatever’s on your mind. It’s about:

• Admitting you were wrong—fully.

• Holding to your values when it costs you.

• Saying the hard...

Hey, Friend!

Sad truth: many women in ministry don’t feel valued. In today’s episode, I address some of the unique challenges that women in ministry face and what a church can do to communicate their value.

But I have a challenge for you:

🌿 This week, choose ONE woman in ministry you know—whether she’s your pastor, staff member, mentor, or friend—and do something intentional to show her she is valued:

✅ Speak a word of encourageme...

Hey, Friend!

Ministry is rewarding—but it can also be draining. Behind the pulpit and the programs are real people who long to know that their presence matters.

In this week’s episode of Leadership Becomes Her, I’m talking about what it really takes for a minister to feel valued. From encouragement to trust, from supporting their whole life to sharing the work of ministry, you’ll discover practical ways to help the leaders in your ...

Hey, Friend!

We’ve all been there—sitting in a meeting where the questions feel less like curiosity and more like an interrogation. Even when a leader’s intentions are good, the way questions are asked can leave people defensive, guarded, or even discouraged.

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

In this week’s episode of Leadership Becomes Her, I share practical strategies for asking questions that build trust instead of fear. You’l...

Hey, Friend,

If you’re a woman in ministry, you already know—friendships can be complicated.

Work friends and church friends are a blessing. They “get it” in ways few others can. But when all your friendships are tied to the same place where you work and worship, life can quickly feel fragile.

That’s what this week’s episode of Leadership Becomes Her is all about:

👉 Work Friends vs. Outside Community: Why Both Matter for Women in ...

Hey, Friends,

Women need women. Whether it is a daughter leaning on her mom, grandmother, or sister, or neighbors becoming friends, we are hardwired to need each other. Some women have the same friends throughout adulthood; other women continuously seek new friends. And if you work outside of the home, developing work friends is very important to work satisfaction.

But ministry is still largely a man’s world. It is not uncommon for...

Hey, Friend,

We tend to think of leadership as those people who have titles and authority over people who operate under their leadership.

But many people who are leaders, meaning they have significant influence, do not have an official title. In today’s episode, I explore a powerful idea: You don’t need a fancy title to be a leader.

In fact, 70% of influence inside organizations comes from people who aren’t officially in charge. Si...

Hey, Friend!

In today’s episode, I share a little about the story of Barnabas, as recorded in the book of Acts. His nickname, given to him by the Apostles, means Son of Encouragement.

When you look at the Greek word: paraklesis, the meaning goes way beyond what we think of when we think of encourage. This is why Barnabas stood out. His encouragement was bold, visionary, generous, and healing. And your encouragement can be that as w...
