    Ep: (149) Part 3: 10 Lessons Learned in 2025

    Happy New Year, everyone! As I wrap up 2025, I’m reflecting on the raw and transformative lessons that shaped my business and faith, from the gut-wrenching necessity of hard endings to the surprising peace found in saying "no" to scaling. I’m getting vulnerable about why I walked away from a high-level mastermind to prioritize being a mom and how I’ve learned to navigate the "people-pleaser" trap by implementing radical boundaries. Whether you’re a leader facing a tough confrontation or a high-capacity woman feeling the weight of "more," this episode is an invitation to stop conforming to the world's pace and start leaning into the specific, anointed path God has for you in the coming year.   What You’ll Learn in This Episode The "Faith to Quit": Why ending a partnership, a program, or even a successful project isn't a sign of failure, but a prerequisite for the next fruitful season God has for you. The Contentment Trap: We’re often told that "more" is always better, but I’m sharing the specific moment I realized that scaling my business was actually stealing my joy—and why I told my business coach I’d rather "go color" with my kids. The Secret Language of Resentment: How to identify where your boundaries are leaking and why your feelings of burnout might actually be a roadmap to where you need to draw a harder line in your home and business. Leadership as Confrontation: Why loving people well sometimes means having the backbone to let them go, and how "graceful endings" can produce the most fruit in someone’s life.   Apply for fireBRAND 2026 Here: https://melissaleahughes.com/firebrandacademy   Free Resource: Social Media Content System Have your content done for you: Rise Social Media Agency   Let’s Connect!

    Ep: (148) Part 2: 10 Lessons Learned in 2025

    Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everyone! As we wrap up the year, I’m continuing my "Lessons I Learned in 2025" series. Last week, I shared the first four revelations that shaped my year, and today, I’m diving into the next three. These lessons were born out of moments of total frustration, sweaty-palmed fear, and those "God-smack" realizations that happen when you're just trying to solve a problem in your business.  In this episode, I’m getting vulnerable about the moments where my own internal chaos was actually the "bottleneck" in my ministry. I share a story about a terrifying amusement park ride that changed my perspective on fear forever and why I decided to plan a major in-person event in just two months—despite everyone telling me it was a bad idea. If you’ve been feeling burnt out, stuck, or like you’re waiting for a "sign" to take your next big leap, this conversation is for you. In this episode, you’ll learn: The Mirror Effect: Why your business, ministry, or organization is a direct reflection of your internal world—and how to identify the specific mindset shifts needed to sustain your next level of growth. The "Ripcord" Revelation: Why I forced myself to swing from a massive tower at an amusement park to save my business, and how your fear might be the only thing keeping your feet on the ground while God is trying to take you to new heights. The Strategy of "Stupid" Ideas: How to distinguish between a "good" business move and a "God" idea that sounds completely illogical (like Noah building an ark or me hosting an event in 60 days) but carries the grace you need to succeed. Tuning into the Divine Frequency: Practical ways to recognize the voice of the Holy Spirit versus the voice of condemnation, and how to stay within the "pleasant boundary lines" God has set for your life and work. What lesson resonated with you most? I’d love to hear from you! Treat yourself to an early Christmas present—a ticket to the Firebrand Story Room this May. There is something transformative about getting in the room with other faith-filled women, and I’d love to see you there.   Free Resource: Social Media Content System Have your content done for you: Rise Social Media Agency   Let’s Connect!

    Ep: (147) Part 1: 10 Lessons Learned in 2025

    Join me for the first part of my special 3-part series where I pull back the curtain on the tears, hard conversations, and unexpected lessons that made 2025 such a transformative year. Today, we dive into four tactical insights on knowing your true value, finding crystal-clear messaging, and a game-changing strategy for launching any new offer. You definitely don't want to miss the shocking story of the $150 video that's been viewed millions of times, proving why you might be severely undervaluing your own genius! What You Will Learn in This Episode: Discover why the thing you find easiest might be the very thing you are severely undervaluing in the market. You’ll hear the hilarious, real-life story of how one simple video earned me just $150 but has been used countless times by a major company, forcing me to rethink my true worth. Uncover the emotional journey all content creators face—from Imposter Syndrome to the "cringey stage"—and why mastering your own message is "King" before you even think about outsourcing your content. Find out the smart way to test your big idea (like writing a book or creating a new offer) and how you can prime your audience for a successful launch before you've even finished the product. Learn the single most powerful strategy I used to sell out my first in-person event, and why taking a simple step before you launch anything will eliminate your anxiety and boost your confidence.   Don't forget to look out for the next two parts of this series where I'll dive into more internal, uncomfortable, but incredibly valuable lessons I learned this year!

    Ep: (144) Motherhood, Business, and Boundaries with Dr. Emily Jacobs

    Today I'm diving into a conversation about motherhood and business ownership. How can we be great moms and great business owners without burning out? I promise you, there is a way to do it well. I'm joined by Dr. Emily Jacobs, founder of Empowered Moms, who is passionate about helping women ensure their dreams don't die in motherhood. We stress that your business must support your family role, not consume it. Drawing from a personal story, Emily shows us how to avoid sacrificing your identity and instead navigate the tension between calling and family life. In this episode, we focus on setting crucial boundaries. You'll learn why we overextend ourselves and how that cycle of busyness harms us all. We discuss the critical step of empowering children and colleagues to become more competent, allowing you to step back and lead with less effort. Ultimately, this is about trusting God's provision, recognizing your daily limits, and choosing a life of purpose over burnout.   What You'll Discover in This Episode: The Surprising Truth about how you might be enabling dependency in your children (and employees!) and the simple phrase to empower them to figure things out for themselves.

    Ep: (143) Getting Your Heart Aligned: Leadership, Marriage, and Hearing God's Voice with Cathy Greer

    In this episode, I’m leaning in with my dear friend and mentor, Cathy Greer. If you’re a high-capacity, high-functioning woman, you’ll want to pay attention—Cathy’s wisdom is truly like going to a chiropractor for your heart, helping leaders, CEOs, and government officials (and busy moms!) get into alignment. We dive right into the core issue facing high-impact women: the loneliness of leadership, and how finding a safe place to process is the critical guardrail against moral failure. We also discuss how to stop waiting for the heavens to open and start recognizing the everyday ways God’s voice is speaking to you.   Then, we pivot to marriage, where I ask Cathy about the courageous (and challenging!) conversation she had with her husband about the big question: "What is it like to be married to someone like you?" Her insights on co-leading and ditching the need for control are pure gold.   Finally, we redefine the "dirty word" of submission, exploring why it’s not about bowing to a spouse, but about trusting God’s order—a path that brings safety and peace instead of the chaos and destruction that comes from building a business outside of biblical alignment.   🤔 What You'll Discover (That You Might Be Missing)   The #1 unexpected struggle of high-level leaders (from CEOs to mompreneurs) that, if left unaddressed, can lead to complete moral failure. You'll learn the crucial one thing you need to cultivate to protect your calling. The startling truth about why your husband might not be leading, and the internal struggle with control that every successful, high-capacity woman must overcome to save her marriage. How you can stop waiting for the "voice from heaven" and start easily recognizing the small, divine promptings that are God's ongoing, everyday conversation with you. Why the biblical concept of submission is actually the highest form of protection and safety for your life, and how operating outside of that order guarantees chaos—no matter how profitable your business is.   Apply for fireBRAND 2026 Here: https://melissaleahughes.com/firebrandacademy Grab the free social media content system here: https://melissaleahughes.com/free-guides Book a Clarity Call: https://melissaleahughes.com/clarity-call Have your content done for you at Rise Social Media Agency: https://melissaleahughes.com/rise   Website: www.melissaleahughes.com   Social Channels: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@melissaleahughes Melissa's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melissaleahughes/ Rise Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/risesocialmediaagency/?hl=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/melissa.harrington.758 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@melissaleahughes   ----------------   Find more information about Cathy by visiting https://www.stuartandcathygreer.com/ https://www.cathygreer.org/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stuartandcathygreer/ Mission Support Network: https://www.facebook.com/msnministries.org/

    Ep: (142) Cultivating God-Given Gifts in Your Children with Dana Roefer

    In this inspiring episode, I sit down with my amazing guest, Dana Roefer, to dive deep into a topic that every parent needs to hear: how to cultivate the God-given gifts in your children. As a mom, we not only have the ability, but also the responsibility to nurture these talents, whether it's through leadership skills, entrepreneurial lessons, or just intentional engagement. Dana and I connected recently at a Faith Driven Entrepreneur event, and her passion for helping teens and kids understand entrepreneurship—and more importantly, understand their capabilities—was immediately contagious. Dana is a homeschool mom and works with Faith Driven Entrepreneur, bringing a wealth of experience on raising kids with a problem-solving, entrepreneurial mindset. We talk about how this isn't just about starting a business; it's about providing a safe environment for them to try, fail, and build incredible confidence that will serve them for a lifetime.   What Will You Discover? Is Your Overwhelm Self-Inflicted? I share the one piece of advice that can help every overwhelmed mom shift into a CEO role by delegating tasks and giving your kids valuable life experience. The Secret to Practical Learning: Why does Dana believe that real-life experiences at home are far more valuable for your child's entrepreneurial mindset than a school worksheet? Beyond Chores: The True Motivation: How can you use simple affirmations, like "Thank you for serving the family," to reinforce your child's sense of value and contribution? How to Find Your Tribe: I share a shameless plug about how going to a single local event led to this fast-growing friendship—learn how you can find the supportive, mission-aligned community you need!   Apply for fireBRAND 2026 Here: https://melissaleahughes.com/firebrandacademy Book a Clarity Call: https://melissaleahughes.com/clarity-call Grab the free social media content system here: https://melissaleahughes.com/free-guides Have your content done for you at Rise Social Media Agency: https://melissaleahughes.com/rise   Website: www.melissaleahughes.com   Social Channels: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@melissaleahughes Melissa's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melissaleahughes/ Rise Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/risesocialmediaagency/?hl=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/melissa.harrington.758 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@melissaleahughes   ---------------   Connect with Dana: Website: https://www.danaroefer.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/danaroefer/ Faith Driven Entrepreneur for Teens: https://www.instagram.com/faithdrivenentrepreneurteens/
