Do you wish that you could lead your team in a way that honours and glorifies God? Are you struggling to overcome self-doubt as a leader and have a desire to be more confident in your role? Do you want the courage to deal with difficult people but don’t want to upset anyone?
Well, you’re in the right place!
On this podcast, I’ll teach you how to lead like Jesus, even if you’re not allowed to speak of your faith in your workplace. You’ll learn to become bold and confident as a leader, to speak up and say what God wants you to say and to finally know that you are worthy to be in your current role. Because God chose you not because you are already a perfect leader but because HE wants to mold you and use you to be an instrument in the kingdom of God.
Hey, I’m Rika, and for the past 10 years, I’ve been in middle-management leadership roles, where I have led various teams, from big to small, and experienced my fair share of working with difficult people, having tough conversations, hiring and firing people and managing team dynamics.
I thought that I could rely on worldly knowledge of leadership to get me through. I attended various leadership courses and listened to many leadership podcasts, but I was still struggling as a leader. I was feeling frustrated and to be honest, I was not enjoying my leadership role and felt like quitting more often than I probably should have!
I finally realised that if I wanted to be the leader that I truly desired to be (which was a leader who wasn’t shy to speak up, a leader who honoured God with her actions and a leader who could build a cohesive team without the drama), I needed to partner with God and find a Christian leadership mentor to guide me and keep me accountable.
I committed my leadership journey to God and partnered with HIM. I started working with a mentor and stepped out in faith as I did hard things every single day. And I can’t wait to share what I’ve learned with you!
If you’re ready to lead your team in a way that honours God, I’m excited to be your mentor! So, grab your notebook and pen (and don’t forget that Chai Latte), and let’s unlock your God-given leadership potential!

132 | [Series] Leadership Struggles Women Don’t Talk About - Part 1: Imposter Syndrome
Have you ever walked into a meeting or stepped into a leadership role and thought, “Who am I to be here?”
If so, you’re not alone. In this first episode of our brand-new mini-series, Leadership Struggles Women Don’t Talk About, we’re tackling one of the biggest battles female Christian leaders face: imposter syndrome.
Together, we’ll explore:
Why imposter syndrome shows up for even the most capable women of faith
How Scripture reveals a different narrative about your identity and calling
Practical ways to lead with confidence, even when you don’t “feel” qualified
If you’ve ever doubted whether you belong in the role God has placed you in, this episode will remind you: your leadership isn’t an accident—it’s a calling.
💡 Reflection Questions to Pray and Journal Through:
Where in your leadership do you most often feel like an imposter?
What lies about your identity do you need to replace with God’s truth?
How would your leadership change if you fully believed you were called and equipped by God?
Stay tuned until the very end, I’ll be sharing something super exciting that’s coming soon, and you’ll want to be the first to know!
