Adam Swann is a pastor, husband, dad, musician, community leader and legacy builder who has spent his life pouring into the people and places around him. He loves Jesus, his family, this community—and, fun fact, the Grateful Dead.

Adam is also only the second man we’ve ever invited onto Empower Her, and we loved getting to sit down with him for this conversation.

Thoughtful, authentic, a little unconventional and just a really cool human doing life and leadership well—we think you’ll love getting to know him too.

This is UNCAGED with Adam Swann.

Thanks for listening to Empower Her with Morgan & Erika.

This week on Empower Her, Morgan & Erika sit down with Sarah Burrage, the director of the Etowah Pregnancy Testing Center. Sarah shares the heart behind a ministry that is so much more than pregnancy testing—a place where women and families are met with practical resources, encouragement, education, and genuine love.

Sarah’s passion for Christ, motherhood, and walking alongside women is evident from the moment she begins to speak. We loved hearing her vision for the center and learning more about the incredible ways it serves our community.

This is one of those conversations that reminds us what can happen when we simply love people well.

We’re back—and this one is worth the wait 🎙️

After a short summer break, we’re kicking things off with our friend Valerie Goodman. This conversation is full of hope, purpose, and the reminder that God can use every part of our story.

Valerie opens up about walking through hard seasons, finding healing, learning surrender, and watching God turn dreams into calling. We also talk marriage, covenant, All Hope Ministries, and her upcoming book, The Conviction of Covenant.

One of our favorite takeaways: you don’t have to feel ready to obey. What feels like “not enough” can become more than enough in God’s hands.

Stay with us to the end—Valerie prays specifically for marriages and anyone who needs the reminder that their story isn’t finished yet

Two years ago, we hit record on our very first episode… sitting in a car, not knowing what we were doing—just knowing we needed to start.

And if you’ve been with us for a while, you know… we really did record that first episode in the car 😂

So for our 2-year anniversary, we went right back to where it all began—parked at the gym, hitting record again, just like we did on day one.

And this time, we couldn’t help but sit in that moment and reflect.

On how much we’ve grown.

On everything we’ve learned.

On the people we’ve met and the stories that have touched our lives—right here in our small town 🤍

What we thought back then was “not doing it right”… ended up being the very reason we started at all.

This episode is about courage, consistency, and what happens when you stop waiting for perfect and just take the step.

Because looking back now, we can say it with confidence:

It wasn’t perfect… and that’s exactly why it worked.

How motherhood, creativity, and courage led to building The Ribbon House.

In this episode of Empower Her with Morgan & Erika, we welcome back Leigh Ellen Brummerhoff, owner of The Ribbon House and a gifted creator with an extraordinary eye for beauty. Leigh Ellen shares her journey of stepping away from corporate executive leadership to work remotely, be present in motherhood, and follow a creative nudge that turned into a thriving business

Leigh Ellen’s story is a beautiful example of what can happen when you recognize a very specific, God-given gift, honor it, and allow it to grow. Through The Ribbon House, she’s now connecting with women across multiple states—while quietly encouraging others who carry creative gifts and subtle dreams to believe those gifts may be meant for more.

This final episode of 2025 feels like sitting on the couch with your best friends at the end of a wild, beautiful year. We’re looking back on the word each of us chose to guide our year, how those words showed up in real life (in the sweet moments and the “Jesus take the wheel” ones), and the ways we were stretched, challenged, refined, and strengthened along the way. We’ll talk about growth that didn’t always feel glamorous, unexpected blessings, the lessons we didn’t see coming, and the goodness that found us right when we needed it.

As we close the chapter on this year, we’re also looking ahead with excitement—because 2026 is already shaping up to be powerful. We’ve got some incredible go-getters lined up to join us…women who are passionate, bold, faithful, resilient, and ready to pour into you in big ways.

If you’re closing out this year grateful, exhausted, hopeful, or all three at once, you’re in good company. Here’s to what this year taught us, to the courage it took to live it, and to stepping into a new one with faith, joy, purpose, and a whole lot of grace.
