Okay, as promised, I am dropping the episode from the called conference here at the

Woman Evolve podcast. For those of you who may be playing catch up, I spoke at my husband's

leadership conference in May, and it was my first time speaking from the standpoint of a leader. Even though I have

been leading woman Evolve for almost seven years now, I have been reluctant to speak as a leader

because I am constantly learning so many lessons that I'm like, when I pass the class, then I will

share the lesson.

What I am beginning to realize is that we don't get to just give our lessons once we have passed the test.

There are some things that God calls us to do that we have to give the lessons even while we are learning new lessons.

You may never fully master the thing that you've been called to do, but just because you have that mastered, it doesn't mean that you

don't have lessons for people who are on different levels than you are. If you have graduated

from any level at all of parenting, of health and fitness, of leading a business, then you have a lesson. Make sure that

you are sharing your lessons. I am sharing my lessons from leadership that I feel like apply to

anyone, especially someone who may be a little bit reluctant to be a leader because that has

definitely been my ministry. I like to mind my business and leave people alone, not lead people,

but here I am leading. And so how have I embraced this call, accepted it, and allowed myself to

not experience pressure while doing it? That's what's on this week's episode. Let's get into it.

I want to share with you a little bit about my leadership journey. The word leader makes me cringe.

I will be honest. I think it's because of my personality type. When I hear the word leader,

I hear responsibility. I hear pressure. And to be honest, I have really seen myself as more of a live and let live kind of person.

So when I hear leader, I always see it as synonymous with leading people.

And though God has allowed me to have influence and an incredible platform, I was never

seeking to really gather people.
