Are you waiting on a miracle in your home? Are you praying God would capture your husbands heart? Maybe your kids have been making some unwise decisions and you're just tired of being the only one fighting that spiritual warfare? Today we're diving into the stories of three mamas in the Bible who experienced real, tangible miracles in their homes.

I share my own miracle testimony about my son's bone tumor and how God led me to these passages during that scary time. Plus, we're getting into Scripture together and discovering three different ways God brings miracles: sometimes we seek Him out, sometimes He asks us what we want, and sometimes He just shows up. We'll talk about building your faith, the power of obedience even when you can't see the outcome, and how to envision and declare what you're believing God for.

FEATURING: Michael Turner ORGANIZATION: Retired businessman, Lake Pastor Michael Turner thought retirement might be slower and simpler. Instead, one year after stepping away from his company – and after a five-year intentional wind-down – he found himself living in an RV at a Georgia campground, fixing trailers, launching boats, mentoring veterans, and eventually preaching weekly to a pop-up campground church. What unfolded was not a retirement plan, but a clear picture of how God repurposes decades of experience for unexpected ministry. In This Conversation Michael describes his five-year transition out of leadership, remaining chairman while gradually releasing day-to-day responsibility and why that helped retirement feel less abrupt. A move to Georgia for his daughter’s college recruitment led to an unusual living arrangement: 16 months full-time in an RV at a large campground with both long-term and transient residents. Michael’s daily prayer: “Lord, use me however You want today” has opened constant opportunities for hands-on service: repairs, transportation, conversations, and practical care. A request to fill in once for a small campground Sunday service slowly became a weekly preaching role. Michael reflects on how decades as an executive prepared him for ministry – clear communication, preparation under pressure, anticipating questions, and engaging people from every background. Realizing the depth of questions being asked, he enrolled at age 65 in a master’s program focused on Christian Apologetics to better serve those he teaches. The campground church removes barriers many feel toward traditional church spaces, welcoming people exactly as they are – camp clothes, hard stories, skepticism and all. Retirement rhythms that matter: staying connected to friends, caring for health, developing hobbies, and avoiding aimlessness by setting 3 daily priorities.

As the new year approaches, the world is shouting “set goals!” — but as followers of Jesus, our first step isn't action…it's asking God for vision.

Mom guilt shows up constantly - over how we react, what we forget, the ways we fall short. But here's the truth: mom guilt is not just part of motherhood — that's spiritual warfare, and the enemy wants you stuck in guilt so you won't enjoy your kids. I'm sharing a story from my own motherhood that left me drowning in guilt for days. But through it, I discovered how faith brings real freedom from that constant weight. Here's what I want you to know: that guilt you're carrying? Jesus already removed it on the cross. We're going to talk about accepting God's forgiveness, forgiving yourself, and renewing your mind with truth instead of spiraling in lies. I'm also sharing a surprising story from Scripture about motherhood that's exactly what we need to hear when guilt overwhelms us. We can't be everywhere watching everything, but God can. When we partner with Him in prayer, we get to release that burden. You're doing a fantastic job, mama. It's time to tell guilt to go - because faith brings freedom.

"Real prayer doesn’t stop at personal confession. It joins God in His redemptive work and asks, ‘Lord, act for Your own sake—so that Your name will be glorified.’" This week, we are diving into Daniel 9, where Daniel reads Jeremiah’s prophecy about seventy years of exile and responds with a model prayer—humble, confessional, covenant-anchored, and intercessory. God answers through the angel Gabriel with the “seventy weeks” vision, pointing beyond the immediate return from exile to God’s larger plan to end sin and bring everlasting righteousness through the Messiah. Nicole outlines three historic interpretations of the prophecy (historic-messianic, preterist, futurist) and shows how all Scripture centers on Christ. The episode closes with practical ways to pattern our prayers after Daniel and to live confidently in the “already/not yet.” Watch the bonus segment on YouTube ("Does God change His mind because of prayer?"): Join the conversation and get the extra content! https://www.youtube.com/nicoleunice What We Cover: A pattern for prayer: Daniel 9:3–19 gives a four-part template—humility, confession (including corporate confession), appeal to God’s covenant character, and intercession for God’s people and God’s glory. Praying God’s promises: Daniel prays Scripture back to God (Jeremiah’s 70-year prophecy) as an act of trust and alignment, not demand. Prophecy centers on Christ: Whatever one’s view of the “seventy weeks,” Daniel 9:24 points to six promises fulfilled in Jesus—ending sin and ushering in everlasting righteousness. Knowledge → faithfulness: After a heavy vision, Daniel “got up and went about the king’s business,” modeling steady, everyday obedience. Hold mystery with confidence: Christians can disagree on timing/details while agreeing that God writes history toward redemption in Christ.

Feeling division in your marriage? In this episode, I'm sharing powerful biblical declarations to bring unity, peace, and alignment to your relationship with your spouse. After receiving prophetic dreams and hearing God speak "fresh alignment" over my marriage, I felt led to create declarations specifically for our marriages—not just our kids or finances, but the foundation of our homes. I'm walking you through the spiritual battle over family unity and why marriage is ground zero, plus how to partner with God through declarations even when circumstances look different in the natural.  We'll dive into powerful scriptural declarations covering unity, peace, becoming one flesh, dwelling in harmony, and having tender hearts toward one another. I'll show you how to declare God's Word over your marriage daily, keep a journal tracking answered prayers, and focus on the unity you want to see grow. Remember—what we focus on multiplies, and our words have creative power. Next Steps: Get the Ignite Revival: Powerful Prayers & Declarations Guide here Email alyssa@alyssarahn.com for coaching

We can’t ignore evil—but we don’t have to fear it. God never forgets His people, even when the world feels dark. In this episode of How to Study the Bible, Nicole Unice unpacks Daniel 8—a vision set “in the third year of King Belshazzar”—featuring a ram (Medo-Persia), a goat (Greece under Alexander the Great), and a “little horn” that foreshadows vicious oppression against God’s people and ultimately prefigures end-times opposition. Nicole shows how Scripture itself interprets the symbols, why this prophecy likely emboldened Daniel in later chapters, and how the vision’s weight moved Daniel to both ponder and then “go about the king’s business.” This chapter becomes a practical call: if we truly grasp God’s sovereignty and the sweep of history, how should we live right now—especially toward the “least of these”? Main Takeaways / Learning Points Let Scripture interpret Scripture. Daniel 8 provides its own interpretation (Medo-Persia → ram; Greece → goat; post-Alexander turmoil → the “little horn”). We don’t need hidden codes; we need faithful reading. Prophecy forms character. Daniel is overwhelmed by the vision yet gets up and returns to his work in faithfulness (Dan. 8:27). What we know should shape how we live. Evil has a pattern—and a limit. History (e.g., Antiochus IV; later, Nazi persecution of Jews) shows how evil targets worship, dignity, and truth. Still, God preserves His people and sets an end to oppression. Discipleship looks like proximity and mercy. Jesus’ measure in the end is love in action—feeding, welcoming, visiting, clothing (Matt. 25:31–40). Right belief matters; embodied mercy proves it. When the world feels overwhelming, do the next faithful thing. Resist over-responsibility for the whole world and under-responsibility for your neighbor. Do justice, love mercy, walk humbly (Mic. 6:8). Bible Verse References (linked) Daniel 8 — Vision of the ram, goat, and little horn; interpretation given Daniel 8:26–27 — “Seal up the vision… I, Daniel, was worn out… then I got up and went about the king’s business.” Matthew 25:31–40 — The Son of Man and “the least of these” Micah 6:8 — Do justice, love mercy, walk humbly (Context touchpoints mentioned) Daniel 5 Next Steps: Get the free Daniel Study Guide: Daily 15-minute readings, reflection prompts, and prayer to help you engage Scripture all week.

Kingdoms will come and go. Empires will rise and fall. But God is sovereign over all. In the end, there is nothing that can stop the Kingdom of God from crushing and dominating all earthly kingdoms. And that is good news for God’s people in exile - both in Daniel’s day, and today. In this episode of How to Study the Bible, Nicole Unice dives into the visually stunning and deeply theological chapter of Daniel 7, where Daniel’s dream of the four beasts reveals the rise and fall of earthly empires—and the unshakable rule of the Ancient of Days. Nicole explains how this vision parallels Nebuchadnezzar’s statue in Daniel 2 and points ahead to Jesus as the Son of Man, whose eternal kingdom will never be destroyed. Listeners will learn how to approach prophetic literature, understand historical context, and anchor their faith in the sovereignty of God—even when the world feels chaotic. Nicole also highlights what it means to live faithfully “in exile,” seeking the good of our communities while keeping hope fixed on Christ’s everlasting reign. Main Takeaways / Learning Points God’s sovereignty is the story behind every story. Empires rise and fall, but God’s kingdom endures forever. Prophetic visions are meant to encourage, not confuse. Daniel’s dream reassured exiles that God was still on the throne. Be faithful in exile. Like Daniel’s people, Christians today live as “foreigners and exiles” (1 Peter 2:11), called to pray for and bless their cities (Jeremiah 29). Jesus is the Son of Man. The vision in Daniel 7:13–14 directly foreshadows Christ’s eternal authority and glory. Hope wins. However dark the times or powerful the empires, evil does not get the last word—God’s justice and peace prevail.

Daniel didn’t have to stop praying to God—he could have just hidden. But he didn’t. He kept doing exactly what he’d been doing before. Long obedience in the same direction built his courage. This week, Nicole walks us through Daniel 6 and the famous lion’s den—showing how Daniel’s unchanging prayer rhythm collided with a world of schemes, pride, and fragile power. You’ll see how a faithful life can bless even imperfect leaders, why Daniel kept his practices public instead of hidden, and how this chapter foreshadows the death and resurrection of Jesus (John 19). Nicole closes by inviting you to build a simple Daniel-style prayer habit and to root your courage in the hope that anchors the soul. What We Cover: Faithfulness outlasts schemes. Daniel’s integrity and consistency (not clever arguments) exposed the emptiness of power games. Habits form holy courage. Daniel didn’t adjust his prayer life “for 30 days.” Long obedience prepared him for a sudden test. Bless your leaders by your life. Like Joseph, the presence of a righteous person improves the whole house—Daniel made everyone around him better. Empire is fragile; God’s Kingdom is not. Darius is swayed by ego and pressure, but God’s purposes stand—and He rescues. Christ's Death and Resurrection in Daniel 6. The innocent condemned, the sealed place of death, the powerless ruler, and the deliverance by God all foreshadow Jesus’ death and resurrection (John 19). Your trials matter to God. Whether your “lion’s den” is public or painfully ordinary, Jesus has gone before you—and hope anchors your soul.

In this week's Bible study on Daniel 5, Nicole unpacks the famous scene of the writing on the wall and shows how it exposes the danger of pride, the fragility of earthly empires, and the steady faithfulness God calls us to in “upside-down” cultures. You’ll see how Daniel models faithful service over time, refuses worldly rewards, and operates with wisdom from above—a pattern modern disciples can emulate at work, at home, and in leadership. Nicole also highlights historical notes that parallel Scripture and offers a simple four-question framework (“ALIVE Method”) to help you study any passage with clarity and confidence. What We Cover This Week in Daniel 5 - Understand “the writing on the wall.” Discover what Mene, Mene, Tekel, Parsin means and how it reveals God’s verdict on pride and misuse of power. Spot the difference between words and fruit. Learn why religious language isn’t the measure of faith—fruit over time is (character > charisma). Live unshaken in a shaking world. Daniel shows how to serve faithfully across regimes without compromising devotion to God. Choose the right reward system. Earthly power and gifts are temporary; Kingdom reward frees you to tell the truth with courage. Practice wisdom from above. James 3 says that wisdom looks like purity, peace, consideration, mercy, and sincerity—use it as your checklist for influence. Study the Bible with confidence.

How do we know who is a genuine believer? And why does it matter to know the difference between conversion and conviction? Those are the questions we're wrestling with in this episode How to Study the Bible. Today, we're studying Daniel 4 in our Living Right Side Up in an Upside Down World series. After dreams, miracles, and multiple warnings, the king still resists repentance—until God graciously brings him low and restores him when he finally acknowledges: “Heaven rules.” Nicole distinguishes religious conviction from Christian conversion, names how pride hides in plain sight, and calls listeners to examine their allegiance—not to personalities, parties, or echo chambers, but to Jesus as Lord. You’ll learn how to read Daniel 4 with context, spot the turn from “the tree” to “the man,” and apply the chapter’s timeless truths to your life today. Key Takeaways from Daniel 4 - Religious conviction does not equal Christian conversion. Interest, morality, or “saying the right words” is not the same as repentance and allegiance to Jesus. Heaven rules. God is sovereign over kings, kingdoms, and timelines—even when He seems slow. Pride is subtle and stubborn. It hides in control, certainty, self-reliance, and power. God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. God is patient. Nebuchadnezzar receives 12 months to repent—Scripture shows a God who warns, waits, and still welcomes. Read carefully. Daniel 4 shifts from describing a tree (it/its) to a person (him/his)—a textual clue that the dream is about the king himself. Escape echo chambers. Anchor teaching in Scripture, not personalities or algorithms. Measure fruit, not just words. Repentance is a turn, not a tweak. Conversion means leaving the kingdom of self for the kingdom of God—a new operating system.

What do we do when the heat around us rises and our allegiance to God is tested? This week, we're continuing our Fall Bible Study on Daniel: Living Right Side Up in an Upside Down World. Nicole walks with us through Daniel 3—the fiery furnace moment with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Using the ALIVE Method (What does it say? What’s the backstory? What does it mean? What does it mean for me?), Nicole shows how this ancient story speaks directly to modern disciples who feel pressure to assimilate to cultural idols. Key theme: Perspective matters. True allegiance shows when pressure rises. The three friends’ confession—“even if He does not”—models a courageous, non-anxious faith that resists idolatry and trusts God’s authority over our trials. In this episode, Nicole covers: How to read Daniel 3 with the ALIVE Method so you see the text, its context, its timeless truth, and its personal application. Why allegiance precedes outcomes: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego’s “even if He does not” (Daniel 3:18) courage shows faith isn’t transactional. Idolatry isn’t only “bad things”: As Tim Keller noted, a good thing that becomes an ultimate thing is an idol. Even noble causes, work, or ministry can become ultimate. (From Keller’s teaching on counterfeits; see Counterfeit Gods for a deeper dive) What to do when the heat rises: Don’t panic—pray. Seek community and God’s wisdom (cf. Daniel 2). How to interpret miracles and suffering: Miracles are a sign of God’s authority; they don’t establish it. And Scripture prepares us not to be surprised by “fiery ordeals.” Living in “Babylon” today: Practice holy resistance without withdrawal—hold firm convictions with humility, love, and clarity. Modern idolatry and competing allegiances: how to spot them, surrender them, and seek God’s kingdom first. Bible Verses Mentioned (linked) Daniel 3 (entire chapter): BibleStudyTools — Daniel 3 Daniel 3:18 (“even if He does not”): Daniel 3:18 1 Peter 4:12–13 (don’t be surprised by fiery ordeals): 1 Peter 4:12, 1 Peter 4:13 Matthew 6:33 (seek first the kingdom): Matthew 6:33 Luke 10:27 / Matthew 22:37–39 (Great Commandment): Luke 10:27, Matthew 22:37–39 Mark 2:1–12 (paralyzed man lowered through the roof—Jesus addresses the deeper need first): Mark 2:1–12 Recommended Resources and Next Steps - Get the free Daniel Study Guide: Daily 15-minute readings, reflection prompts, and prayer to help you engage Scripture all week.

We'll walk through it all with real-world examples and numbers. Whether you're hiring your first salesperson or restructuring your current team, this episode gives you the proven blueprint to get it right. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why rewarding results over effort drives stronger performance. How to balance base salary and commission for optimal motivation. The benchmark quotas agencies should expect from a fully ramped rep. A smart commission structure that prioritizes recurring revenue and client retention. The importance of ramp periods and how to set realistic expectations. Bonus and incentive structures that boost morale and retention without breaking your margins. Episode Highlights On-Target Earnings (OTE): Why the 50/50 split of base + commission works for agencies. Sales Quotas: Typical ranges ($10K–$20K/month MRR) and how to adapt them. Commission Plan: 5% for the first 12 months, 1% for the next 12, zero after that. Ramp Period: Why it takes 4–6 months for a new rep to hit quota.

Hey mama, welcome back to the Revival Mom Podcast! Today's episode is a gentle wake-up call - so many of us have been lulled into “check-the-box” religion - but that won't get us where God is calling us. To see revival in our families, our churches, and our nation, it starts with us as moms choosing to put our faith first. When we walk closely with God, that passion and power overflows to our husbands, our children, and our communities. In this episode, I share how we can: ✨ Put on the full armor of God and teach our kids to do the same ✨ Pray boldly and specifically for our families, leaders, and nation ✨ Break free from fear and walk in our God-given authority ✨ Model a real relationship with Jesus, not just “religion” ✨ Raise children who know their true identity in Christ If you've been feeling a holy stirring for revival in your home, this episode is for you. Together, we'll learn how to step out in courage, declare truth over our families, and love others boldly in a broken world. Grab your Bible, a journal, and maybe that second cup of coffee—because this conversation is going to fire you up to see revival in your home and beyond.

Nicole begins the new bible study series Living Right Side Up in an Upside Down World with Daniel Chapter 1. Set in Babylon after God’s people are taken into exile, this story introduces Daniel and his friends as they resist assimilation into a foreign culture. By choosing faithfulness—even in something as simple as food—God equips them with wisdom and influence. Together, we’ll learn how to live faithfully in a culture that often presses us to conform, and how exile never has the last word when God is sovereign. What We Cover - Why Daniel and his friends refused the king’s food and what it teaches about holy resistance. How exile is never the end of the story—God works even in scattering. Why respectful courage matters when culture pressures us to assimilate. How God honors faithfulness with His presence and provision. Key Scriptures - Daniel 1 – Daniel’s faithfulness in Babylon. Jeremiah 29:4–7 – God’s call to seek the good of the city, even in exile. Exodus (background) – God’s promise to set His people apart. This Week's Reflection Questions: Where do you feel pressure to assimilate to “Babylon” in your own life? What might holy resistance look like for you this week? How can you seek the good of your city without losing your identity in Christ?

Ever feel like throwing in the towel when God is calling you to something new? I get it, mama. This week I almost "burned it all down" after facing some criticism about my parenting choices. But God reminded me: "Were you obedient to me? If you were, then that is all that matters." In this episode, I'm sharing the 5 powerful Bible verses God gave me to combat the defeating thoughts that come when you want to retreat back to old patterns. As Christian moms, we face unique spiritual warfare when we're trying to create biblical change in our homes. The enemy knows exactly which old thought patterns to use against us! Whether you're working on peaceful Christian parenting or just trying to model Christ's love to your family, this episode will give you the biblical encouragement you need. I'm talking about how to take your thoughts captive, why the enemy attacks hardest before breakthrough, and how motherhood truly is a work of the Lord. This is episode is just for you if you're feeling overwhelmed by parenting challenges, want to create lasting change but feel like giving up, or need practical tools for spiritual warfare as a mom who wants to see revival start in her own home.

This episode is one that has been burning on my heart. I recently saw a post in a Christian women's group where a mom asked how to lead her family when her husband was an unbeliever. The first response said, “We are not called to lead.” I about dropped my phone. Because here's the truth: motherhood is leadership. Marriage is leadership. Being a woman of God is leadership. In today's episode, I'm diving into what the Bible really says about women in leadership — in our homes, in our marriages, and as moms raising children who know Jesus. We'll look at examples of women leaders in the Bible like Deborah, Esther, Priscilla, and more. I'll share the scriptures that guide me, from 1 Peter 3 to Matthew 5 and beyond, and unpack what it looks like to lead with humility, character, and Spirit-led love. If you've ever been told that you “shouldn't lead,” or felt unsure about your role as a wife and mom when your husband isn't walking closely with the Lord, this conversation will set you free. You are called. You are equipped. You are the light of your home. You'll hear: Why leadership is more about example and character than titles or positions How to lead with love and humility in your home Scriptures that prove women have always been leaders in God's story Encouragement if you're married to an unbelieving or lukewarm spouse Practical ways to shine the light of Jesus for your kids and husband Mama, I want you to know you are not overstepping when you lead your family toward Jesus. You are being obedient. You are modeling Christ's love. And you are sparking revival in your home. I pray this episode encourages you, breaks off shame or lies you've believed, and reminds you that leading as a mom is a holy calling. Let's step into holy leadership, together.

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to get caught up in the constant noise, stress, and demands of life? In this episode, I share how God has been calling me back to a place of deep rest and peace — not just physically, but in my spirit. We'll look at how Jesus points us to a different way of living, one that's rooted in trust, surrender, and the promises of God instead of fear and striving.   I talk about what it means to truly walk in peace, even when circumstances are uncertain, and how the smallest acts of obedience can open the door to supernatural breakthrough. I'll share the practical shifts I've been making in my own daily life to quiet the chaos, hear God's voice more clearly, and step into the kind of joy and freedom He's offering us.   If you've been feeling spiritually weary or stuck in survival mode, this conversation will help you remember who you are in Christ and how to access the peace that passes all understanding — the kind that changes not just your mood, but your entire outlook on life.   Next Steps: Get the Ignite Revival: Powerful Prayers & Declarations Email Alyssa at alyssa@alyssarahn.com for coaching

In this deeply encouraging episode of the Revival Mom Podcast, we dive into a question every Christian mom and believer faces at some point: “Is that God's voice… or just my own thoughts?”   I share personal stories—from my husband's investment decisions to my own moments of wrestling with whether to step into a new opportunity—that reveal how God speaks and how easily we can confuse His voice with our own, the enemy's, or the world's. We'll talk about why discerning God's voice is so important in everyday decisions and how it shapes the way you lead your family spiritually.   You'll learn how to filter thoughts through biblical truth, recognize the peace that comes with God's leading, and test what you're hearing through Scripture, confirmation, and the fruit it produces. I'll also walk you through the four main “voices” we hear and give you practical steps to grow in confidence in hearing God clearly.   What you'll learn: The four voices that compete for your attention—and how to tell them apart Simple biblical tests to confirm if what you're hearing is from God Why practice is the key to growing in confidence when discerning God's voice Encouraging real-life stories that will inspire you to step out in faith God's sheep do hear His voice—and that includes you. This episode will give you the tools, encouragement, and boldness to trust that He is speaking, to discern His voice with clarity, and to follow Him with peace and confidence.   Next Steps: Get the Ignite Revival: Powerful Prayers & Declarations Email Alyssa at alyssa@alyssarahn.com for coaching  

What is the Imperial Church, and how can you tell if you're in one? In this episode, Charlie and Brian name the powers masquerading as spiritual authority—those that elevate hierarchy over holiness, silence over truth, and control over compassion. Rooted in Christopagan Druidry, they call for a return to the liberating message of Jesus: love without exception, service without domination. This is more than a critique—it's a vision of what the Church could become when freed from Empire.Thanks for reading!

In episode 150, “Top 3 things to change if you want sustainable, predictable revenue,” Jess takes an honest look at what's actually driving revenue in the B2B sales world right now. If you're a coach, consultant, trainer, or any kind of service provider who dreams of reliable income, switching off for the summer, and still signing corporate clients… this is the episode you can't afford to skip. As May ushers in a critical sales window before the quiet summer months, Jess kicks off by sharing how she uses this quarter to finalise deals and take the summer off - focusing on making sure business is set up for success so she (and you!) can unplug without worrying about finances. But while she's going to be relaxing, she wants you to be equally strategic—especially given growing misconceptions in the business world about what actually works for B2B sales in 2025.  Key Takeaways in This Episode 1. What corporates actually are—and why this matters. Jess clarifies what counts as a “corporate” for the purposes of this podcast: organisations that are not solopreneur-run, have permanent employees, a board or higher structure, and operate in both private and public sectors. If you're targeting founder-led micro-businesses, the B2B tactics you hear about online likely won't work for true corporates. 2. The dangers of misguided sales activities. Too many business owners are spending hours posting on LinkedIn, engaging in comment pods, building elaborate funnels, or writing books—believing these are “sales activities.” Jess is blunt: these are NOT going to land you corporate contracts. HR managers are not scrolling LinkedIn newsfeeds to find their next coach or consultant. Corporate buyers aren't signing up for your webinar funnel or being wowed by your ebook. If you're getting engagement but not deals, this is likely why. 3. The real reasons for B2B revenue plateaus (or dips). Jess unpacks why those revenue highs expected in the new year often fail to materialise—energy fizzles, pipelines aren't as full as predicted, and sales plateau. Many fall for the myth that it's “just the market” or their pricing, when in fact, they are simply not spending time on the right actions. She stresses that clutter, complexity, and intelligent overthinking can get in the way of simple, repeatable sales behavior that actually converts. Don't get stuck in learning more, consuming content, or trying to prove your worth with more certifications! 4. The reality of the current B2B market. Ignore the chatter from non-practitioners who claim “corporates aren't buying.” Jess's proven strategies, used by over 20,000 clients (with a 90%+ success rate), continue to deliver wins—even in a tough market. The companies succeeding are the ones focused on proactive, not passive, behaviors. 5. Proactive sales strategies that work. Replace endless marketing with smart, measurable, sales-focused actions: Direct, well-researched outreach to decision makers. Tracking metrics and troubleshooting what actually moves the sales pipeline. Using proven scripts, strategies, and templates grounded in years of corporate sales experience. Jess's clients are still landing deals—even their biggest months ever—by ditching content for conversation and focusing on relationship-based sales approaches. 6. Your opportunity: The Cold to Closed Live Sales Experience Jess announces an exciting, brand new live sales experience: Cold to Closed. If you want to sign corporate clients in 90 days or less (and you're not quite ready for her C Suite ® program), this is for you.

This episode lit a fire in me—and I think it will in you too. I had the absolute joy of sitting down with Summer Day, the incredible woman behind the Fear Into Faith movement, and our conversation went deep into something the modern church often avoids: deliverance. If you've ever wondered whether spiritual warfare is real or if healing and freedom are for today, this one's for you. Summer shared her journey from being skeptical to boldly stepping into deliverance ministry—and how God used her willingness to say yes to bring healing and revival into countless homes. She reminded me (and all of us) that deliverance isn't just for “certain people” or dramatic stories. It's biblical. It's powerful. And it's something every believer is called to walk in. We talked about how the spirit always recognizes truth, even when the mind resists. And how revival won't come from platforms—it starts right in our homes. With moms who are willing to stand in the gap, pray over their kids, and say, “Not today, Satan.” If the topic of deliverance feels a little uncomfortable, lean in. There's a reason the enemy wants to keep it hidden. And there's so much freedom waiting on the other side. You'll walk away from this episode feeling empowered, seen, and challenged in the best kind of way. Let's be women who don't shrink back. Let's be revival moms. Can't wait to hear what stirs in your heart after this one.

You're praised for your strength — but at what cost? You're taught to push through — but when do you finally get to breathe? You're carrying the weight of generations — but no one stops to ask: where do you go to put it down? In the second of our three-part series on Superwoman Syndrome, mindfulness coach and TEDx speaker Asia Whittedsteps forward to share the truths many Black women have been forced to navigate in silence. Through her own breaking points, Asia learned what few are willing to say out loud: "Rest isn't something you earn — it's something you deserve before the world demands more than you can give." Inside this powerful episode: Asia's personal story of reaching burnout while juggling family, career, grief, and expectations — and the moment she realized survival wasn't enough Why generations of Black women have internalized the belief that peace is a luxury, not a right How unchecked strength culture quietly conditions women to feel guilty for needing rest The emotional and physical warning signs Asia teaches high-achieving women to recognize before burnout takes over Why thriving — not just surviving — requires a radical mindset shift around responsibility, rest, and community care A deep look into Asia's "PAUSE" framework, designed to help women rebuild their lives around intention, boundaries, and self-awareness As Asia shares, "If I crumble, what happens to all the people I'm trying to carry?" And even more powerfully: "The only thing I was letting go of was myself — and that was never the plan." This isn't self-care for Instagram. This is the conversation Black women have needed for generations — about grief, healing, thriving, and reclaiming our own well-being on our own terms.

What happens when performance, people, and purpose collide. Today, we're joined by Dee Ntšala, founder of Nova Conxulting, whose work sits at the intersection of neuroscience, wellness, DIEB principles, and leadership strategy. Dee equips high-performing executives, founders, and teams with the tools to lead. Every time I've been asked to fix a performance issue, it was actually a leadership issue. That's a people problem.” – Dee Ntšala Too many organizations think they're solving for low numbers when they're really facing high dysfunction. Promotions happen without preparation. Culture is treated like a memo. And when the spreadsheets show a dip, the blame lands on people instead of the systems leading them. But as Dee, reminds us in this episode: “If you're a founder, if you're a corporate leader, please hear us out here. We get it. There is a cost impact to all of this work. But the benefit on the other end of it is so, so worth the invest.” We're talking sustained transformation. Dee has worked with top-tier leaders across corporate, nonprofit, and academic spaces, and she breaks down what most leadership programs miss: Why micromanagement often signals a deeper gap in trust and team readiness How real leadership requires self-awareness before strategy And what happens when companies ask for change but resist the process required to make it stick “Corporate has an unhealthy relationship with time and results when it comes to human behavior. Humans aren't machines. You can't flip a switch and expect transformation.” This episode is for high-level leaders and founders who want better—but are done chasing surface-level solutions. If you're ready to stop wasting budget on temporary fixes and start reinforcing the kind of leadership culture that retains talent, drives performance, and creates real alignment—press play. We also go beyond frameworks and into the lived realities of founders and leaders navigating burnout, mismatched team dynamics, and corporate cultures that reward production over progress. Dee's refreshingly honest perspective will have you rethinking how you lead, why you lead, and what alignment looks like in real-time.

Hey mama! In this episode, I'm diving into something that's been so close to my heart—praying and declaring God's promises over your unbelieving husband. If you've ever felt discouraged, frustrated, or even hopeless in this area, I want you to know you're not alone. I've been there, and today I'm sharing what God has been teaching me about the power of prayer, encouragement, and speaking life over our husbands. I reflect on my own journey through the challenges of marriage, especially when faith isn't something my husband and I always shared. It's not easy, but I've learned that nagging only creates division, while prayer opens the door for God to work in ways I could never imagine. In this episode, I share how declaring God's truths over your husband can bring transformation—not just in him, but in you too. I also talk about embracing your role as a spiritual leader in your home and the importance of encouragement in building strong, faith-filled relationships. If you've been longing for deeper connection in your marriage or wondering how to navigate life with an unbelieving spouse, this episode is for you. Let's lean into God's promises together and plant seeds of faith that will bear fruit in His perfect timing. Let's commit to being women who see our husbands the way God sees them, speak life over our marriages, and trust Him to do what only He can do.
