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!

134 | [Series] Leadership Struggles Women Don’t Talk About Part 3 - Work/life balance
I’ll be honest — sometimes leadership feels like a never-ending tug-of-war.
Between the meetings, the emails, the family dinners, and the ministry commitments… it can feel like there’s never enough of you to go around.
You love your work.
You love your people.
You love your family.
But there are moments you quietly wonder, “Can I really do it all well?”
In this week’s episode, I’m sharing from my own experience of what it looks like to seek balance God’s way — not the world’s.
Because true peace isn’t found in getting everything done… it’s found in walking closely with the One who holds it all together.
We’ll talk about:
Why rest is not laziness but a form of worship
How to release the guilt of not being able to do everything
What it means to lead from a place of grace instead of exhaustion
This is an episode for every woman who’s ever felt stretched thin and secretly wondered if she’s enough. Friend — you are. And God’s grace is big enough to cover every season you’re in.
Reflection Questions
Before you rush into the next thing, pause and sit with these questions:
1️⃣ What areas of your life feel “out of alignment” right now?
2️⃣ Where are you carrying pressure God never asked you to hold?
3️⃣ How can you intentionally rest in His presence this week — even for a few minutes a day?
Something exciting is coming on October 23rd!
Something exciting is coming on October 23rd — my birthday!
