Gratitude isn't just a moment—it's a mindset.

With everything happening this season, I wanted to reshare one of my favorite Entrusted to Lead episodes on the power of authentic gratitude in leadership.

Did you know? Your heart's electromagnetic field extends three feet from your body. When you lead with gratitude, you're literally radiating positive energy to those around you. ❤️

And for an RF / HF radio girl, I think that's pretty cool! 😊 📻

This week's challenge: Find 3 ways to show authentic gratitude to your team or family.

What makes YOU feel genuinely valued? Drop your thoughts below. 👇

Hi friends — I’ve been a little quiet on social lately, but I’m back with something really special. 💛

This week on the Entrusted to Lead podcast, I’m talking about something God has been teaching me deeply this year:

✨ Legacy isn’t built in big public moments.
It’s formed in the small, faithful, everyday choices. ✨

This episode was inspired by a tiny yellow post-it note my daughter wrote years ago that simply said:

“Hi. You’re doing amazing.”

And honestly… I think someone else needs that reminder today too.

If you’re leading in a season that feels messy, heavy, or unclear — this one’s for you.

I’ll also be releasing a few more episodes in December as we close out the year, and I cannot wait to share what God has put on my heart for 2026.

It’s going to be a season of restoration, clarity, and renewed strength.

If this encourages you, share it with a leader who needs a reminder that their presence matters more than they know. 💛

If your brain feels like 13 tabs are open 😅, you’re not alone. Task switching can quietly burn up to 40% of your productive time—that’s 3+ hours you could reclaim.

In this episode, I share a simple, faith-centered rhythm to lead with clarity, not chaos:

FOCUS
• Fix your eyes on one clear outcome
• Obey your rhythms (50–90 min deep-work blocks)
• Capture, don’t chase (parking-lot distractions)
• Uphold boundaries (silence pings, set office hours)
• Steward the results (one-sentence win + next step)

Recording this episode felt different.

I wanted it to be polished. God wanted it to be surrendered.
Some of the most powerful things He’s asked me to do haven’t made sense — but they’ve been fruitful.

This isn’t just a podcast. It’s a permission slip for someone to breathe again.

What if success isn’t about achieving more, but about trusting deeper?

I used to believe success meant hitting every milestone, scaling faster, and making it all look effortless. But I’ve learned that God doesn’t measure success the way the world does.

In this week’s Entrusted to Lead episode, I’m sharing:

New Episode Drops Tomorrow!!!

Leadership can be quietly exhausting. You show up, serve faithfully, and lead with vision—yet still wonder if any of it really matters.

This episode is for the leaders who are tired but still showing up. Rooted in Galatians 6:9, we unpack the hidden weariness of leadership and the hope that reminds us:

"At the proper time, we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."

In this episode, I share three truths that have helped me stay grounded when the fruit wasn't visible:

Keep sowing, even when the soil feels dry. The most important growth happens underground.

Rest isn’t quitting. Leaders burn out not because they work hard, but because they work empty.

Look for sprouts, not applause. Growth often shows up in quiet, unseen ways.

Whether you're leading a ministry, running a business, managing a team, or raising a family, this episode will encourage you to stay the course.
