112. Keep God First and Stay Committed

Ladies, commitment is where transformation happens. It's how you grow from “I’m scared to speak” to “I was made for this!” Your consistency will break fear off of you, step by step, stage by stage. Quick reminders: 

  • Start with God daily. Pray, listen, and invite Him in.

  • Show up even when it’s uncomfortable. Courage grows by usage.

  • Be consistent. Consistency builds confidence.

  • Speak to serve. When you focus on impact, fear fades.

  • Celebrate progress, not perfection. Obedience is the win.

210. 5 Speaking Mastery Moments You Can Take to the Stage

In today’s episode, we’re diving into the small but powerful speaking moments that prepare you to step onto any stage with confidence. These are the moments that anchor you, steady you, and remind you of the God-given assignment on your life. Before you ever grab a microphone, your speaking mastery begins long before you walk into the room.


It starts with inviting the Holy Spirit into your preparation. When you pause and pray, you position your heart to speak from God rather than just for God.

209. You Can Still Build It

In this episode, I’ve come to remind you, the Christian female professional and leader, who wants to speak, but is holding back, that when God calls you to speak, He’s already given you everything you need to do it. You can build what He called you to build and create. Yes, you.

You don’t have to wait until the fear fades or the plan looks perfect. Just say yes and start building something. Do you know your faith, obedience, and consistency can turn a simple message into a powerful speaker brand that inspires and transforms lives? I want to help you rise above doubt, own your voice, and move forward in your God-given calling with confidence and purpose. Let’s do this together ladies.

208. Own the Silence and Speak with Confidence

This episode has two segments. The first is Stop Filling in the Silence and Start Embracing It and the second is 3 Confident Speaking Tips.  Both messages are about owning your voice on (and off) the stage. 

When it comes to the silence you have in your messages, filling in the space by using filler words can become a problem -- a big one. Why? Well, too many speakers want to rush to fill every quiet moment with words, but real power is in the pause. How to own your silence and let it speak louder than filler words, is about practice and taking the time to learn from what you hear (or don’t hear in your messages). Every pause gives your words weight. So stop rushing to fill the air and start owning it.

When it comes to the tips that will further help your stage confidence game, it’s about learning to stand tall (literally) on stage and knowing who you are. Applying these tips will work work for you when you work them.

If you want to grow any speaker brand, you must start where you are, implement effective practices in your public speaking journey, "wait" as God works in the supernatural, and watch what He does through you.

207. Come to the Stage as You Are

In this episode, I talk about showing up “prepared”, boldly, and just as you are. No need to wait until everything feels perfect, polished, or professional. The truth is, your voice, your story, and your presence already carry power. Don’t get me wrong, there is work to do before handling your business on the stage, however, you just have to know when to proceed and when not too without over-thinking things. 

Confidence doesn’t come from having it all together; it comes from stepping out in faith anyway. Whether you’re a new speaker or someone with experience, you’ll hear why it’s time to stop overthinking and start sharing your message now -- just starting with something somewhere, because the audience you’re meant to impact needs you just as you are.

205. It Doesn't Matter What People Think (or Say) About You

In this episode, I'm going in regarding one of the biggest fears many Christian female speakers face and that is worrying about what people think (and say) about you. Whether it’s your speaking, your brand, your looks, or even your walk with God, it’s so easy to get caught up in other people’s opinions. Yet, this is the deal: what they think or say about you does not define you. What God says about you, does.

This is your reminder that confidence doesn’t come from approval; it comes from alignment. When you know you’re walking in purpose, you stop asking for permission or apologizing for being you. I did that for many years and I’m not even going back there again. 

Jeremiah 1:8 says, "Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you." So there ya go, boom.

204. What Else ChatGPT and AI Can Do For Your Brand

In this episode, I get into the new and exciting ways ChatGPT and AI are helping Christian professionals and leaders build stronger, smarter, and more confident speaker brands. This isn’t about robots taking over, it’s about using tools that free you up to do more of what God actually called you to do: speak, lead, and inspire.

We’ll talk about how AI can help you find your voice, organize your ideas, and create content that truly connects with your audience. You’ll learn how these tools can make writing, planning, and even practicing your talks easier and faster without losing that personal, Spirit-led touch that makes your message powerful.

We’ll also explore how AI helps your brand stay visible online so you can show up where people are searching for hope, encouragement, and truth. You’ll see how small shifts like letting AI handle repetitive tasks or brainstorm new ideas can help you walk in more peace, confidence, and creativity.

Proverbs 16:3 says, “commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans.”

200. Don't Let the Fear of Making Videos Stop You From Speaking

In this episode, I encourage Christian women speakers to step out from behind fear and into their calling to speak boldly. At one time it was video that brought fear, doubt, and anxiety for me. Then one day I just started doing video and although it’s still not my favorite (I rather audio), I stepped out and that helped overcome those emotions that used to stop me. So, whenever the time for video is right for you, you may surprise yourself by just getting out there. Just remember, God didn’t give you a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind/self discipline (2 Timothy 1:7).

198. The Reasons Some Speakers Don't Show Up

Have you ever wondered why some speakers never step into their calling fully? In this episode, I dive into the common reasons women shrink back from speaking on stage or just putting themselves out there in general in doing what God called them to do. How can you overcome fear when you don’t even give God a chance to work on you and through you? Without faith it’s impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him (Hebrews 11:6).

197. Rely on Your Voice More and ChatGPT Less

God gave you a voice for a reason. In this episode, we’re talking about how to lean less on tools like ChatGPT and more on the authentic, Yes, resources are helpful, but your audience is waiting to hear you, your story, your testimony, your truth. Let’s shift from depending less on external voices to putting more trust into the one God placed within us.

Today I talk about the two types of clients you’ll encounter on your speaking and coaching journey. Not every client is the right client, and learning to tell the difference is key to protecting your peace and fulfilling your purpose. There are two types of clients you’ll encounter: Any Client: those who drain your energy and the Right Client: those who help you thrive.

I’m sharing my session from the AI Virtual Summit in August, where we uncovered how the right AI prompts can completely transform your speaker brand. Whether you’re just beginning to explore AI or you’ve dabbled here and there, you’ll discover how prompts can help you:

  • Create clear, compelling content that sounds like you
  • Repurpose your talks into blogs, emails, or social posts with ease
  • Save time on behind-the-scenes tasks so you can focus on your message and ministry
  • Build a stronger, more consistent brand without the overwhelm
    This was a fun session and is all about making AI simple, approachable, and aligned with your God-given voice. By the end, you’ll see how just a few well-crafted prompts can help you show up more confidently, serve your audience better, and expand your impact as a speaker.
