If you’ve ever felt stretched thin trying to lead at work, show up at home, and honor your faith — this episode will stop you in your tracks. As ambitious Christian wives and mothers, we often carry the quiet fear that we’re leading well for everyone else… while slowly losing ourselves in the process. This conversation on She Leads Boldly brings truth, comfort, and clarity for the woman who’s trying to be everything and is longing to get back to God’s pace. In this powerful episode, I sit down with Dr. Tonia Phanor, a global communications expert whose leadership journey spans Japan, Italy, South Africa, and major U.S. organizations like Disney, META, the CDC, and the Department of Justice. Her warm, culturally rich perspective helps leaders communicate with confidence, and her faith has been the anchor guiding her every step. Together, we break open the real conversations Christian women in leadership rarely get to have: about calling, capacity, and the courage to speak boldly. Inside this episode, you’ll hear: Why your career can be part of your calling, and how to stop feeling guilty for wanting to lead wellHow to find flow instead of forcing balance, especially when family or work pulls more of you in different seasonsThe surprising way global experiences shaped Dr. Tonia’s leadership and how they apply to your workplace right nowWhy faith-filled women must stop shrinking their voice and start speaking boldly about what God has placed within themThe biblical lens we both use in leadership, grounded in Ephesians 4:29The heart behind Dr. Tonia’s book Win with Words, and how your words shape the atmosphere of your home, your team, and your assignmentAs a wife, mother, and leader myself, I know exactly what it feels like to juggle heavy responsibilities while wondering whether I’m honoring God well in all of them.
