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.

Unleash The Hidden Power of Your Voice - the book that will help you own your voice and discover your hidden potential

After two years away, The Influential Woman Podcast is back with a new focus. This episode shares why the shift matters, what’s changing, and how knowing your true identity transforms everything.

If you’ve ever struggled with finding meaning in titles, purpose, or performance, this conversation will help you rethink influence and how to truly be an influential woman.

The discussion in this episode centre around:

• What happens when you base your identity on your title, calling, or achievements instead of Christ
• Why do so many women feel stuck even when they’re living “on purpose”
• How knowing your identity open doors and prevents burnout
• What the difference is between inspiration and motivation in how you influence others
• How intimacy with Christ shapes your identity and direction

Inside IW Unleashed, we’ll be starting a book club using Jamie Winship’s book, Living Fearless, where we'll dive deeper into identity and freedom in Christ. Inside the community you’ll also find encouragement, clarity, and practical tools to help you live from who you are, not what you do.
