Beyond the “Good” Life | Connie Cotter | UNBOXED on Purpose Ep. 127

Barbara A. F. Brehon, Host

What happens when your life looks successful… but feels unfulfilled?

In Episode 127 of UNBOXED on Purpose, host BAFB welcomes Connie Cotter, Certified High-Performance Coach, to explore what it truly means to move beyond the “good” life and step into a life of joy, authenticity, and intentional design.

After more than 23 years in corporate leadership, Connie realized that success without fulfillment leaves a gap that achievement cannot fill. Through her journey, she discovered that we are all designers of our lives, and joy is not something to find—it is something to choose.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Moving from “fine” to fulfilled
• Breaking free from societal expectations
• Rediscovering joy and curiosity
• Navigating life transitions with clarity and confidence
• Designing a life aligned with faith and identity

AI as Authentic Influence

Host: Barbara A. F. Brehon

What happens when faith meets technology?

In this episode of UNBOXED on Purpose, we are unboxing the power of AI as Authentic Influence with returning guest Chad Burmeister. From Episode 1 to now, this conversation reflects growth, alignment, and the evolution of influence through AI.

Chad, a Forbes NEXT 1000 honoree, shares how AI has shifted from artificial to augmented intelligence, empowering leaders, creators, and ministries to expand their reach while staying grounded in truth and purpose.

We explore how unboxing your voice through technology allows you to connect more deeply, serve more effectively, and steward your calling with excellence.

This is more than AI. This is about unboxing influence, unboxing growth, and unboxing purpose in a digital world.

Thursday, May 21, 2026

📌 YOUTUBE DESCRIPTION

🎙 Choose Calm Over Control | Barbara A. F. Brehon | UNBOXED on Purpose Ep. 123 @favoredbythefatherministries

In this solo episode of UNBOXED on Purpose, Rev. Dr. Barbara A. F. Brehon shares a powerful reflection on becoming — learning how to choose calm over control while staying aligned with your faith, identity, and assignment.

This episode is rooted in her original song “The Second Seat (Choose Calm Over Control)” and her 2026 word for personal spiritual growth, BECOMING.

Through this unboxed and transparent episode, you will explore how to:

• choose calm over control in every season

• lead and live from a place of peace and clarity

• embrace positioning without striving

• walk in quiet authority and spiritual maturity

This episode also speaks to the balance of being designed to give — while remaining present where you are received.

Featuring Runita Hill

Host: Barbara A. F. Brehon

In Episode 122 of UNBOXED on Purpose, Rev. Dr. Barbara A. F. Brehon welcomes back Runita Hill for her fourth appearance—a powerful full-circle moment from Episode 2 in the inaugural season to now.

Runita is more than a guest—she is a mentee, cohort student, prayer warrior, and someone deeply connected through spiritual covering, mentorship, and leadership development.

Her message is clear: What didn’t break her, BUILT her.

In this episode, she shares:

• How her definition of “walking well” has evolved
• A vulnerable moment of realizing she sought validation in the wrong places
• Discovering completeness and identity in God
• Ministering to those in jail through lived experience and resilience
• Leading PLAN U, Inc. with intentional balance and wellness
• The importance of a teachable spirit in mentorship
• Practical steps to move from brokenness into the “NOW”

This conversation is for anyone ready to stop surviving and start walking in wholeness.

💬 Key Takeaway: You are not defined by what tried to break you—you are refined by what God built through you.
