Episode Summary: In a world that praises hustle and perfection, how do you lead with grace, alignment, and intention? In this episode of Branded by God, Brittnee N. Smith sits down with Dr. Tamara Dias—educator, leadership coach, and founder of Leading for Good—for a heart-to-heart on what it really looks like to lead in a way that honors both God and yourself.
Dr. Tamara shares how unexpected shifts in her career led her to rediscover purpose through entrepreneurship. Together, they unpack what it means to lead without losing yourself, how to prioritize alignment over achievement, and why rest and obedience are leadership strategies too.
If you’re feeling stretched, overwhelmed by expectations, or unsure where God is calling you next—this conversation is your gentle recalibration.
💡 Listener To-Do: Write down the top 3 roles or titles you're currently holding (ex: wife, CEO, team leader). Then, next to each one, ask yourself: “Am I showing up from alignment or obligation?” Pray over the area where you're feeling the most pressure and ask God to exchange that pressure for peace—and strategy.
