The Influential Woman | Identity. Voice. Impact.

Trish Jones

There's a woman who carries more than most people know.She leads, she serves, she builds - in her career, her business, her home or her church. She shows up for everyone. She carries responsibility with grace.But quietly, somewhere underneath it all, she wonders why she still doesn't feel like she's enough.Not because she lacks ability. Not because she lacks faith.But because she's been DOING before she's been BEING. Performing a version of herself built from other people's expectations, the pressure to perform and other people's definitions of who they think she ought to be - rather than leading from the truest, deepest knowing of who she actually is in Christ.This podcast is about peeling back the layers and revealing your true identity.I'm Trish Jones - voice and identity coach, speaker, author of Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Voice, and founder of the IW Unleashed community.For over two decades I've worked with influential women - in corporate, in business and in ministry - helping them reclaim the voice that got buried under responsibility, comparison and the relentless pressure to perform.Every episode is built around one framework:Identity. Influence. Impact.Know who you are - that's your identity.Speak and lead from who you are - that's your influence.Change the lives of those you were sent to serve - that's your impact.This isn't a linear framework though, it's a spiral...  The deeper your identity, the more authentic your influence. The more authentic your influence, the greater the impact you make in the lives of others. Which sends you back deeper into who you are.  This journey never ends - it only deepens - because you were known before you were born and you were sent before you said yes to your assignment.  The abundant life God prepared for you was never something you were supposed to chase.It's always been something you receive.In Matthew 6:33, Jesus said: "Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be given to you besides."Sadly, we've turned everything around. We've burned ourselves out, become frustrated and disappointed chasing the "besides," rather than seeking first His kingdom and His righteousness.When you know who you are in Christ, everything HAS TO change. How you lead. How you speak. How you show up. How you build. Not because you finally got confident enough to do what you were born to do - but because you finally know who you are and why you're here.This is The Influential Woman Podcast.This is The Influential Woman Podcast. Welcome to being rooted in Christ, rising up to do the work you were born to do and making an impact in the lives of those you were sent to serve.

    You Are Ready (You Just Don't Know It Yet)

    Have you ever gone to bed with a clear idea, ready to take action — and woken up the next morning and it's completely gone? And then the cycle repeats. And the voice in your head gets louder, telling you that you've missed your moment. You haven't. In this first episode back, I'm being completely transparent about why I went quiet, what I discovered in the silence, and why the real issue was never about strategy, content or confidence. It was identity. And if I'm honest — I lost my own voice. Even after writing a book about it. In this episode we cover: — Why waiting until you feel ready is one of the biggest lies we tell ourselves — The story of the worst speaker in the room who outsold every polished presenter — and what it taught me about message vs performance — How social media is quietly convincing women to trade their real voice for someone else's — The difference between doing your purpose and being who you were made to be — Why your voice was never about volume, confidence or whether you're an introvert or extrovert — What it means to be Rooted in Christ, Rise up into purpose and Reign in life — Why I wrote a book about voice and then had to sit down and learn what I'd taught The framework running through everything I do — and everything on this podcast — is this: Identity. Influence. Impact. Know who you are - that's your identity. Speak and lead from who you are - that's your influence. Change the lives of those you were sent to reach - that's your impact. And it's not a straight line. It's a spiral. The deeper your identity, the more authentic your influence. The more authentic your influence, the greater the impact you make in the lives of others.  The journey never ends - it only deepens - because you were known before you were born. Sent before you said yes. And the abundant life God prepared for you was never something to chase - it's something to receive. --- Mentioned in this episode: 📖 Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Voice book - https://unleashyourvoicebook.com 🌐 IW Unleashed Community - https://www.skool.com/influential-woman-community-3576 --- If this episode resonated with you, I'd love to hear from you.

    God's Restoration of Our Identity - Reviewing Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers

    Despite the criticism - mainly by those who never read the book but have jumped on the negative bandwagon - Redeeming Love is story of how God restores us, little by little. We all want overnight transformation but as I heard someone say one day, a lot of what we call deliverance is people needing knowledge - knowledge of WHO God is. What Fran and I discuss about identity restoration from the perspective of the book is: How our identity is tainted - often from an early age - by circumstances, what we've believed about what people say about us and how the enemy confirms what we believe by what we later experienceWhat rejection does to wound our soulsWhy God uses people in our identity restoration process but keeps ultimate ownership - pg 349 "Let her go beloved... would you let her hang on her own cross forever?"Why we should never underestimate the power of sowing seedsWhen love gets tainted and how God uses real love, His love, to restore our identityI absolutely loved recording these episodes with Fran and honestly, if you've not yet read the book, you can grab your copy from Amazon. By the way, I am not a novels person. My daughter had to beg me so many times before I relented. For her as a young person, she was grateful to learn before marriage the importance of intimacy and not just sex.  Support the show More Resources from Trish: IW Unleashed - The Influential Woman Unleashed (IW Unleashed) is a  mentorship community for mission minded women ready to make an impact.
