    Ep: (141) How to Say What You Want to Say with Heather Burns

    n this episode, I'm sitting down with my good friend, master coach, and spiritual director, Heather Burns, for one of the most honest conversations we've ever had about building a kingdom business with true clarity. Heather shares her incredible, raw journey from running an 8-figure business and losing it overnight (while 27 weeks pregnant!) to realizing that even success by "the world's standards" couldn't deliver the freedom she craved. We dig deep into the messy middle of entrepreneurship, unpacking why so many of us struggle to say what we want to say online. We talk about how the fear of being misunderstood holds our message captive, and how to stop operating from a people-pleasing place. More than anything, this conversation is an invitation to discover the true source of your conviction, because, as Heather powerfully states, your subconscious will not let you lie—you cannot sell or share what you haven't fully embodied. If you're ready to trade comfort for conviction and finally unlock your authentic voice, this episode is a must-listen.   What You'll Learn to Spark Clarity & Courage The Hidden Reason Your Message Isn't Clear: We expose the single biggest fear that keeps purpose-driven women from hitting "post," and it has nothing to do with your marketing strategy. The Ultimate Freedom Formula: Discover why achieving external success (money, titles, platforms) will never satisfy, and how to start the internal wrestling that unlocks the authentic freedom you're truly seeking. Conviction Over Comfort: Learn the necessary mindset shift that moves you from being a nervous content creator to a powerful truth teller—and why this shift is about saving others, not proving yourself. How to Embody Your Message: I break down why your "elevator pitch" feels fake sometimes, and why your body knows if you're lying about your message, forcing you to do the internal work first.   Apply for fireBRAND 2025 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   Heather's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heathershriverburns?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==

    Ep: (140) Cultivating Faith in Your Children with Kelly Grace

    I had a powerhouse conversation with the incredible Kelly Grace, a spiritual mentor, podcaster, and coach. With over five decades of women’s ministry leadership and life as a pastor's wife, Kelly’s mission is to connect divine truth to daily life, and you can hear that wisdom in every word she speaks! I was so blessed as she shared how we can move past religion and rule-following to cultivate a deep, genuine, and conversational faith in our children's hearts. Everything we do—from building our brand to sharing our message—is fueled by the impact we first make at home, on our children's little hearts. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, unsure of what to say, or like you’re not doing enough to pass on your faith, this episode is a breath of fresh air. Kelly brings decades of experience and shares her "truth in action" principles for effective, loving communication, both with our kids and our spouses! We covered everything from those recurring marital conflicts to transforming everyday moments into spiritual breakthroughs. Seriously, grab a notebook—this conversation is pure gold.   You Will Learn How To Spark Genuine Connection: The single, simple phrase you can use to immediately take responsibility in a conflict and disarm a defensive spouse (plus, the crucial fourth step you need to exit the conversation with grace!). Why the "golden window" between ages 4 and 14 is your sweetest spot of opportunity to influence your child’s faith, and the surprising way you might be overthinking it. How to stop relying on formal "family devotions" and start effortlessly weaving God's truth into your daily life—from the carpool lane to the dinner table—to help your child develop their own history with God. The biblical truth about correction and training that has nothing to do with punishment, and everything to do with steering your family's course toward love. P.S.: If you're ready to stop feeling hidden and step into a place of competence and courage to share your story and grow your business, the Firebrand Academy is now open for applications! This is your year to become a woman of conviction and positively impact the world.

    Ep: (139) Heal, Thrive, and Lead: Empowering Women with Sara Barthel

    I sat down with Sara Barthel, Functional Medicine Nutritionist and founder of Christ-centered, lab-driven care for women in perimenopause, for a powerful conversation about finally taking control of our health. For years, I just moved through life, tolerating symptoms like debilitating migraines, but when I hit a wall with weight gain, I knew I needed Sara’s unique expertise. Sara opens up about her own decade-long struggle to find answers, which fuels her mission to help women who are doing all the "right things" but are still feeling exhausted, bloated, and unlike themselves. We dive into why so many of us feel unheard by conventional medicine—often just being offered a prescription or a laxative—when there is always a root cause. Sara explains the importance of her faith-integrated practice and why she believes we can’t separate the mind, body, and spirit in the healing process. We also discuss how incorporating more storytelling has made her a more confident and effective speaker, allowing her to attract her ideal client by leaning into her unique identity as someone who understands "biochemistry and Jesus."   In this episode, you will learn: What that "first domino" symptom is in your 30s that signals your hormones are starting to shift—and why it’s not what you think. The common, yet completely overlooked, reason why you might be tolerating major health issues like chronic fatigue and anxiety but only seek help when you experience sudden weight gain. The "Triad Hormones" framework Sara uses to guarantee lasting, sustainable health, and why fixing just one hormone will never be the magic bullet. The #1 thing you need to do when you suspect something is off with your body, even if your doctor tells you everything is "normal."   Apply for fireBRAND 2026 Here: https://melissaleahughes.com/firebrandacademy 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   Sara's Links: Website: https://www.vibrantvia.com/ Complementary 30 minute Root Cause Breakthrough Session: www.chatwithsara.com 30 Day Hormone Reset Guide: https://www.vibrantvia.com/hormonereset Book a Free Call: https://sara-barthel.mykajabi.com/book-free-call Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sarabethbarthel/?hl=en

    Ep: (138) Beyond Hustle: Guide to Being a Confident Kingdom Woman with Linzie Hermsmeyer

    I am so excited for you to listen to my conversation with the incredible Linzie Hermsmeyer, a high-performance coach, former college athlete, and all-around powerhouse. We dive deep into what it truly means to be a strong woman, not from a place of hustle and burnout, but from a place of being deeply anchored in Christ. This conversation was so timely for me, and I know it will be for you too, as we unpack how to push through challenges and build resilience God's way. Linzie shares her powerful "GRIT" framework—Growth, Resilience, Intentionality, and Tenacity—which is a game-changer for pursuing your calling without losing yourself in the process.   In this episode, you’ll discover: The crucial mindset shift that turns a difficult season from something you just get through to something you can grow through. Why "intentionality" is the secret weapon against burnout and the key to aligning your daily actions with your ultimate mission. The surprising reason that consistent, small "reps" matter more than talent, and how to keep going when you feel bored, discouraged, or like nothing is happening. The one foundational truth you must anchor your identity in to stop seeking affirmation from the world and find unshakeable strength.   Join The Firebrand Story Room: October 17–18 in Grand Rapids (only a couple tickets left!) → https://melissaleahughes.com/firebrand-story-room   Website: www.melissaleahughes.com Social Channels: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@melissaleahughes Melissa's IG: https://www.instagram.com/melissaleahughes/ Rise's IG: https://www.instagram.com/risesocialmediaagency/?hl=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/melissa.harrington.758 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@melissaleahughes   Linzie Hermsmeyer: Website: https://linziescoaching.com IG: https://www.instagram.com/linziehermsmeyer/ Free Guide: https://linziescoaching.myflodesk.com/morningroutine Services Page: https://linziescoaching.com/services

    Ep: (135) Sales Without the Sleaze: How to Sell Biblically & Build Trust with Stefani Pady

    Today, we’re tackling a big topic that so many women wrestle with: sales. How do you sell your offer without feeling pushy, slimy, or “salesy”? I’ve invited a very special guest, Stefani Pady, to walk us through what it looks like to sell from a biblically aligned perspective. Stefani is a mom, seminary student, sales trainer, and leadership coach who has spent years equipping both corporate teams and Christian women to step into influence with confidence. She has such a powerful lens on what sales really is—hint: it’s about trust and influence, not pressure. In this conversation, you’ll hear: -Stefani's story of moving from sales resistance to sales confidence. -Why every conversation is a sales transaction (and how that ties to the gospel). -The #1 skill that will transform the way you connect with people. -Practical ways to handle objections without manipulation. -How Jesus modeled influence and what we can learn from Him about trust, questions, and leadership. -We also talk about preparing for “no’s,” the power of one-on-one connection, and why sometimes a “not yet” is still a win.
