New Episode Graced to Lead Podcast! 🎙️
Friendship + Leadership: Why It Matters and How to Cultivate It

Listen, Leader: YOU NEED FRIENDS!
And um… they’re not going to appear out of thin air. 🪄✨ This isn’t magic. It’s intentional action and prayer.

In this episode, I’m getting real about friendship in leadership—why it matters, what the Bible says, and how these relationships can actually strengthen, heal, and hold you. I also ask, "What kind of friend are you?"👀
Jesus had the Apostles.
David had Jonathan.
Paul had Timothy.

So leader… why would you try to lead alone?

Whew, I feel a whole series + Bible Studies coming on this one...

This smile? It’s powered by peace, purpose, and a whole lot of growth.
Learning that I wasn’t made to fit in. Trusting that God will lead me, if I let Him (because whew… sometimes I think I know best 😅).
One day at a time, I’m choosing surrender over control to His will for my life.

To every woman who reads this book, who has ever doubted her worth or her calling: YOU ARE graced to lead.
My prayer is that this book continuously reminds you of the Power within you and the God who called you.
I'm here to support you on your journey.

Real talk: Sometimes we say we trust God, but lead like it’s all on us.

What if this week, you truly surrendered the pressure, the perfection, and the people-pleasing?

💬 Finish this sentence in the comments:
“If I fully trusted God with my leadership, I would ___.”

Let’s speak it. Let’s believe it. Let’s lead like we trust Him for real. 💛

Listen, sometimes we look at a past season of success and think: That was my best. That was my peak. And if this new season feels different (harder, slower, more uncertain) we start discrediting it before it even begins. Visit this post on my website to learn more about how to overcome these feelings and step into action. , ,

Leadership Looks Like…sitting still after doing the real work.

This photo was taken a few years ago right after a session with my friend . We talked, prayed, and she helped excavate some truths that I wasn’t ready for- whew! The kind that hits differently when you’ve been trying to smile through pain. 👀 She reminded me (again) of what God said about me.

After all that heart work, we did a makeover (because…JOY IS HEALING TOO) and I sat outside feeling lighter and at peace.💗

Listen, leadership isn’t always about meetings or milestones. Sometimes it looks like resting, receiving, and remembering the truth God has already spoken.

🟣 Leader, when’s the last time you slowed down to pour back into YOU?
