Seek First CEO: Mindset, Heartset, Biblical Principles & Brain Science for High Achieving Christian Women

If you’re a high achieving Kingdom woman who believes you’re called to impact the world through your gifts, then you’re in the right place! Hi friend! I’m Heather, teacher turned entrepreneur, coach, speaker and your host of the Seek First CEO podcast. I’m passionate about helping ambitious servant hearted women find their worth in Whose they are, not what they do. After building a variety of businesses, including an 8 figure business, it took losing it all to find Jesus’ all. I was deceived for far too long believing I had to work for my worthiness, prove my value, and be the provider for all my needs. But God! When we seek God first and keep God first, we can’t go wrong! As a Certified Master Neuroscience Life Coach, I help you connect the dots between Biblical Principles and Brain science so you can take your thoughts captive and be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Since I don’t do surface, we go deep here and talk about the stuff underneath the surface because my prayer is to help you get to the source of your heartset and mindset road blocks so you can have breakthrough by aligning your heart and mind with Biblical truths. If your heart’s desire is to grow in your relationship with Jesus, while fearlessly fulfilling your purpose and calling, then let’s open up the Word together and see what the Holy Spirit has to say about living your life in F.L.O.W. with Him! Are you ready? I’d love to connect with you! JOIN OUR COMMUNITY: https://www.facebook.com/groups/seekfirstceo LEARN: www.heathershriverburns.com CONNECT: coachheathershriverburns@gmail.com

You’re doing everything “right.” The business is growing. The money’s coming in. People see you as successful. But deep down… something feels off.

You’re tired. You’re emotionally disconnected. Your relationships are strained. And while your business is thriving, your life feels like it’s quietly falling apart.

In this episode, I’m speaking directly to the high-achieving woman who is winning in business but losing in life. We’re go...

In this quick but powerful episode, I'm sharing a spontaneous encounterI had with the Lord while on a walk—an encounter that sparked a question that could shift everything in your business and your life.

What do you really believe about God?

God whispered, "I’m better than you think I am." That one statement unraveled years of performance, striving, and fear-based thinking...and replaced it with awe, freedom, and truth.

You’ll hear...

Let’s be honest—many of us are doing all the “right” things: We’re reading our Bibles. We’re praying. We’re serving. We’re leading. And yet… we still feel disconnected from God.

We wonder, Why can’t I hear Him? Why does He feel so far? Is it something I’m doing wrong?

In today’s episode, we’re gently (but boldly) reframing those questions—and offering a new perspective rooted in both neuroscience and spirit-led truth.

You’ll hear:

    You’ve heard it before: “There’s no competition in the Kingdom.” So why does sisterhood still feel so… hard sometimes?

    In today’s episode, I’m sharing a raw story of being deeply triggered in a room full of high-achieving Christian women—and how God used that moment to expose wounds I didn’t know still needed healing. From being the leader to letting myself be led, this episode is for the woman who has been hurt by women, and the w...

    For too long, high-achieving Christian women have felt like they had to shrink in faith spaces or strive in business. But what if you didn’t have to do either?

    The truth? The same patterns that make you feel disconnected at church are keeping you stuck in your business, your marriage, and your success.

    Have you ever walked into a church service or a church women’s event and felt like you didn’t quite belong?

    You love Jesus. You love business. But when you try to talk about scaling, strategy, or success, you feel the energy shift. Maybe you’ve even found yourself shrinking, filtering, or downplaying your ambition just to fit in.

    If it's a tool for Christians in our every day life, it is most definitely a tool we can use in business, too.  Forgiveness. It's talked a lot about but I think the reason most people struggle with this is because we're not taught how to actually forgive. In today's episode, we're talking about how to actually forgive so that you don't continue to carry the resentment, hurt, anger, or bitterness when someone hurts you.  We're div...
