   Ep 17: Called, Empowered, Obedient: Stepping into Your Kingdom CEO Identity with Tierney Shirrell

   Do you know you’re a beloved daughter of the King in your head, but struggle to actually live from that identity in your heart and everyday life? In this episode, I sit down again with my dear friend Tierney Shirrell to talk about what it really looks like to release our expectations, receive God’s love, and step boldly into the call on our lives. Tierney shares the story behind her upcoming Live Bold virtual experience, why God had her pivot from in-person to online, and how He used the word “release” to completely reframe her vision. We talk about letting go of control, surrendering timelines, and trusting that God is not limited by a physical room—He moves just as powerfully through a Zoom room as He does when we’re shoulder to shoulder. We also dive into her Kingdom CEO framework—not CEO the way the world defines it, but Called, Empowered, and Obedient—and how this applies to women with big, God-given dreams: authors, entrepreneurs, ministry leaders, visionaries, and anyone who feels that holy nudge that “there is more.” Daughter before “doer” How shifting from “I know I’m God’s daughter” to actually receiving His fatherly, “Daddy” love changes the way we show up, lead, and love others. Release as a pathway to power Letting go of expectations, disappointments, fear, perfectionism, and hustle so we can receive the power of the Holy Spirit and release Heaven’s impact into our communities, clients, and homes. From inspiration to integration Why so many conference notebooks end up on a shelf—and how Tierney is designing the Live Bold virtual experience to move you from information, to revelation, to real-life implementation in your body, soul, and spirit. In this conversation, we talk about practical ways to meet with God that fit your actual life (and wiring), how conviction from the Holy Spirit is always an invitation—not shame—and why obedience often looks like stepping out while your knees are still shaking. Tierney reminds us that there are people praying right now for what God has placed inside of you—a book, a podcast, a ministry, a business, or a message—and your “yes” matters more than you know. By the end of this episode, you’ll feel encouraged to get in the room, even if it’s a virtual one, to be stretched, supported, and surrounded by women who are running after God’s heart and His assignments—with you. If your spirit is stirring and you know God is calling you higher, come join us for the Live Bold virtual experience and take the next step in walking out your Kingdom CEO identity.

    Ep 6: From Resistance to Resilience: The Unexpected Journey of Faith in the Flames

    Hey friends! Welcome to the podcast where I'm sharing the raw, vulnerable journey of writing "Faith in the Flames." This isn't just another book story - this is a testament to God's incredible timing, overcoming enemy attacks, and discovering hope in the messiest moments of life. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on how this book came to be - from battling self-doubt to experiencing unexpected challenges like my husband's injury and our home being robbed. You'll hear how God persistently called me to write, even when I was running from His purpose. Hot Topics: Recognizing and Defeating Enemy Attacks Finding Hope Through Vulnerability Trusting God's Timing in Your Calling My final thought? Your story matters. Your pain has purpose. Don't let fear or the enemy's lies stop you from stepping into what God has for you. Vulnerability is your superpower, and healing happens when we're brave enough to share our journey. So grab a cup of coffee, find a cozy spot, and listen to the full episode. I promise you'll walk away encouraged, inspired, and reminded that you are never alone in your struggles.
