One way to fuel that journey is by tuning in right
here to the Inspired Stewardship Podcast with my friend Scott Mater.

(00:45):
You could choose to speak those words out and question what
God has told you or you could embrace that he will
never leave you,
he will never forsake you and everything that you need to
do what he has called you to do is already inside
of you and you can walk it out.

(01:05):

In today's podcast episode,
I interview Chantel Santiago.
I asked Chantelle about her book the Voice of a Queen
and I also ask her why reclaiming one's personal voice is
so important and Chantelle also shares why faith and voice are

(01:54):
so connected.
I have a great book that's been out for a while
now called Inspired Assemble the puzzle of your calling by mastering
your time,
your talent and your treasures.

(02:37):
Alongside her husband Christian,

anointing and freedom manifest on earth as they do in heaven.
Through her passionate heart,
stirring speaking and the raw sharing of her own journey of

(03:00):
faith, its struggles,
its victories and its hard won lessons,
Chantelle reveals how utilizing faith,
boldness and assured identity can transform Lives break chains and activate
heavenly power here on earth.
Her deepest desire is to see a generation of women rise
up as living testimonies of God's love,
conquer obstacles and change the world one courageous,

(03:23):
kingdom driven step at a time.
Welcome to the show,
Shantelle. Thank you so much.
It's great to be here with you.
Absolutely. I shared a little in the intro about your work,
the book that you've got that's just been come out,
and some of the other things that you've done kind of
getting to this point.
And yet at the same time,
I always think of intros and those sorts of things,

(03:44):
like the Instagram photos.
They just show what we want them to show.
They never show the whole story.
And there's always.
Exactly, there's nothing wrong with that,
but there's always more to the story.
Would you share a little bit more about your journey and
what brought you to the point where this is the message
you're trying to put out into the world?
Yeah, absolutely.
So my journey has been about discovering just how powerful words

(04:07):
really are.
Not just for communication,
but also,
also for transformation,
for dominion,
for legacy.
And for years I knew,
I just knew that there was more inside of me.
There was more vision,
there was more impact.
But I just wasn't fully stepping into this authority that I
heard so many people talking about.

(04:28):
Like, I wasn't fully stepping into the authority that God had
already given me.
Like, it wasn't that I didn't have a voice.
It was that I wasn't using my voice with precision,
with confidence,
with conviction.
And I was speaking from hesitation instead of authority.
I was.
I would speak from struggle instead of victory.

(04:50):
And I realized something.
I realized that the words I spoke were either keeping me
bound or setting me free.
And that's when God woke me up to a truth that
really changed everything.
Nothing in the kingdom moves without a word.
Like everything God created,
He spoke into existence.
And if I'm made in his image,

(05:12):
then my words carry that same power.
And that revelation really hit me hard.
Like I stopped speaking from a place of limitations and then
I started to speak from this place of having dominion.
I stopped waiting for things to change and I started commanding
my future.
And when I did,
everything just began to shift.
And so that's why I wrote the Voice of a Queen.

(05:33):
Because I saw so many women,
particularly trapped in silence,
in hesitation,
in self doubt,
unaware that their words were actually the key to their breakthrough.
Too many of us are speaking from our emotions.
We're speaking from this place of our emotions instead of speaking

(05:53):
from our assignment or narrating our problems instead of declaring our
future. And I knew it.
Like, I knew that I had to help shift that.
And so now my mission is clear.
To help women take back their voice,
own their power,
speak with boldness.
Because when a woman truly owns her voice,
she owns her destiny.

(06:14):
I would say that I am extremely passionate about women,
but it's true for everyone.
Like, when you own your voice,
you own your destiny.
And when you speak with faith and authority,
you don't just change your life,
but you actually shift generations.
So one of the things that you just said there that
I think is so important,
as people talk about having words have power,

(06:36):
and a lot of times when they say that,
they're talking about how it affects other people.
But would you include in that the words that we speak
to ourselves that maybe we don't even say out loud,
and how they affect our own thinking?
I would say the words that you speak over yourself are
more important and more powerful than the words that you speak

(06:57):
to other people,
because you affect you first,
then other people.
And I think of the verse in Scripture,
Proverbs 18:21.
It says,
the power of life and death is in the tongue,
and those that love it eat its fruit.
So you can either speak life over a situation,

(07:17):
or you can speak death.
You choose.
But either way,
you're gonna.
You're gonna love it.
You're gonna live the life that you're speaking.
And then I Even think of Dr.
Miles Monroe.
He has this incredible quote,
and I love it.
I love it.
He says,
whatever you have,
whatever you don't have,
you said it.
And so that responsibility,

(07:37):
that onus of our words,
comes back to us,
but it affects us way more than it affects the people
around us and the generations to come.
But it starts with us.
It's a ripple effect.
So one of the things I like to highlight on the
show is the intersection between our faith and our life and

(07:58):
our faith,
and how there's always some sort of feedback loop between those
two. How has your faith journey affected this journey you've been
on? My faith journey is actually foundational to everything that I
do. Like,
it's foundational.
That's it.
That's the key word.
For me,
my faith journey is the foundation of everything I do.
I grew up knowing about God.

(08:20):
I grew up knowing about him,
but it wasn't until I fully surrendered to his voice that
I stepped into the authority that he had already given me.
So for me,
there was a moment when I realized my silence was Costing
me my destiny.
I was playing it small.
I had accepted this cheap,

(08:40):
cheap version of myself,
this mediocre version of myself when Jesus paid full price for
me on the cross.
And I always look at that and it's just man.
The enemy's first attack is always going to be on our
voice. Because if he can keep us silent,
then what he can do is distort our identity and actually

(09:03):
keep us from stepping into dominion.
And that is what he is most afraid of.
He's actually most afraid of us stepping into and walking in
our dominion.
Because he knows that when we do that,
we are absolutely unstoppable.
And so I had to learn to fight back,
not just with belief,
but with my faith filled words.
And so I began to declare God's truth even when my

(09:26):
circumstances told a completely different story.
And that's when every time in my life,
I began to see things shift.
It was always because my words had started to change and
they began to be faith filled words.
And here's the thing,
I think when it comes to faith,
we've got to remember what faith actually is.

(09:48):
Faith is not just belief.
Faith isn't even passive.
Faith is actually a creative force.
And without faith,
our words are literally just sounds coming out of our mouth.
So when we talk about faith filled words,
with faith,
words actually become decrees.

(10:09):
Words will shape the reality that you see before you.
And that's why I wrote the Voice of a Queen,
really, because when a woman aligns her words with faith,
she stops asking for permission and starts issuing decrees.
She doesn't just hope that things will change,
she actually commands it to manifest before her.
And that's the power of a voice that is anchored in

(10:32):
faith. So what do you think?
How does this actually play out in someone's life?
Share an example.
Let's say there's a woman listening right now and she's struggling
in this area of being understanding her voice and the power
of her voice.
What would you say to her right now?
Or where should she start to begin to understand what you're

(10:53):
talking about?
Yeah, absolutely.
I think of my role as a mom.
For me,
I've seen this play out as my role as a mom.
I've got two beautiful children,
as you mentioned.
I've got one boy who's three and a half and Zion
is his name.
And he's such a little treasure.
And from a very young age,
he had delays.
He had oral sensory delays,

(11:14):
he had trouble with eating,
he had trouble with speaking.
He was just really delayed at the end of it all.
But we took him to the doctors and the normal checks
and everything that they do with the pediatrician.
But what I found was over a period of six months,
they threw every single label at this little boy under the

(11:35):
sun, like literally every single label at him.
And they were really damning labels.
And I,
in that moment had a choice to make.
I could accept these labels that were being thrown at him,
which were in direct contradiction with what I knew God had
showed me and spoken to me about my son and the

(11:58):
life that he was going to live,
or I could choose to speak truth and God's truth over
him. I could choose to speak the promises that God has
for his life,
speak destiny over his life,
speak life over him.
And I had a choice.
Do I give in to the doubt or do I speak
the truth?

(12:19):
Do I give in to the frustrations and the anxiety of
it all,
or do I speak faith filled words?
And we chose to speak faith filled words.
And once our language started to shift,
we have actually seen our son who is now three and
a half.
And he literally is going from strength to,

(12:39):
to strength to strength.
What he did struggle with eating,
what he did struggle with speaking.
Now he's talking.
Now I have trouble keeping him quiet when I'm trying to
put his sister to sleep because he's singing on the top
of his lungs praising God.
And it's just like he eats peanut butter and pancakes nonstop.
I can't stop him.

(13:00):
And so for me,
it's just,
change your words.
If you don't like what you're seeing in front of you,
change your words,
Start to speak words of life,
start to speak words that are full of faith.
And you'll begin to see things change,
just like I did,
just like I did with my son.
So with somebody out there is hearing this.

(13:21):
And one of the areas that,
that we touch on a lot in the show is around
this area of calling.
And first off,
I'd like you to speak to or define when you hear
the word calling,
what does that mean to you?
And then as well,
how does what you're talking about help with someone beginning to
both recognize then live into their calling?

(13:43):
Yeah, great question,
great question.
So for me,
a calling is an assignment.
And we've all been placed here with many assignments.
But ultimately,
a calling is what you've been placed here to do.

(14:04):
It's not who you are,
but it's what you've been placed here to do on this
earth. It's your contribution to make this place look like heaven
here on earth.
And so that's what calling is.
And when we're talking about the power of our words,
and we're talking about putting faith behind,

(14:24):
your words impact absolutely everything.
And as it pertains to say you've realized your calling and
you're still trying to work out what that looks like and
how on earth God could choose you to do that kind
of an impact in this earth.
You could choose to speak those words out and question what

(14:45):
God has told you,
or you could embrace that he will never leave you,
he will never forsake you.
And everything that you need to do,
what he has called you to do,
is already inside of you and you can walk it out.
I think that's really practical.
Like, we're really good,
especially as women,

(15:06):
we're our own worst enemy.
We talk about how,
oh, the enemy did this,
the enemy did that.
No, he didn't.
You did it yourself.
You spoke those words out of your mouth yourself.
We beat ourselves up.
And so I think when it comes to it,
Scott, your words ultimately shape the reality that you are seeing.

(15:27):
And so when it comes to your assignment and why you
have been put on this earth,
what impact you are called to make,
you could spend an entire lifetime doubting it,
or you could stand up,
accept who he has created you to be,
and walk it out now and get to the end of

(15:49):
time and stand before him and just hear,
well done,
good and faithful servant.
How do you see this play out in a relationship as
well? There's a lot of women that are listening.
There's a lot of men that listen,
but a lot of the women that listen,
a lot of them are married and they say one of
the reasons they're listening is because of things.

(16:10):
They want to support and speak well into their husband's life
and right.
Help them realize their calling and that sort of thing.
I think women,
a lot of times,
they're nurturers and they care about what else is going on,
not just themselves,
so to speak.
Men are a little bit more oblivious a lot of times.
You're funny,
it's true.
But not always.

(16:31):
But a lot of us are.
And again,
is that nature,
nurture, Is that cultural?
Yes, it's a little bit of all of that.
I think all of that's involved.
But when you talk to a woman in a relationship situation,
how have you seen this ability to speak and the power
of the words and manifesting that play out in those roles?

(16:51):
Where purpose is unknown,
abuse is inevitable.
Where purpose is unknown,
abuse is inevitable.
And so I would say,
unless you understand your role as A woman in a relationship,
then you are going to abuse your role in a relationship.
And what we see right now is we see a lot
of women that are out with something to prove,
whether they're married,
whether they're single,

(17:12):
they're especially married women these days.
There's an all out assault on marriages right now from the
enemy. And it's just we've got to take responsibility for that.
When women are in this place where they feel like they
have to speak over the top of their husbands and they
have to prove their own worth and all that sort of

(17:32):
thing. And I think unless we realize what our role is
as a wife,
as a woman,
first and foremost,
but then as a wife,
then we're going to abuse the situation and we're not going
to ever fully function the way that we're designed to.
And first and foremost we are called to be a help
mate. But it's also about operating in the grace in the

(17:56):
space that God has created us.
For man was created to do.
Before God even put woman on this earth,
he gave man work.
That means that men do do and that's how they get
their fulfillment.
They're like my husband,

(18:16):
I, and I'm sure you're probably the same.
He is so fulfill by what he does.
It just,
it brings him alive.
Like it just,
it's. He's so fulfilled by what he does.
But as a woman,
Eve was placed in the garden in relationship,
she was placed there with this mandate to help.

(18:39):
Now does that mean that you're below man?
No. You were actually placed on earth to rule and reign
together. A help mate.
Another word for help mate is a running mate,
a soul mate.
My husband likes to tell people a soul mate is not
an S O U L mate,
it's an S O L E mate,

(19:01):
like a running soul.
But it's true,
right? We were put here to rule together.
And I would go as far as to say,
women, we need to realize that in our households our voice
is actually the loudest voice in the house.

(19:22):
What we say carries so much weight.
Our emotions that we put out affects the entire household.
Those lovely things that happen once a month that all women
deal with.
And if you don't,
then you're lucky.
But all it's just like those monthly things happen and it's
just like the whole house can be affected if you let

(19:43):
it just by the words that you're speaking.
And so when you realize your role is there to help.
And also let's remember that the culture of the kingdom of
God is Honor.
Right. And it talks about in James how we are to
outdo one another with honor.

(20:04):
But again,
it comes back to the words that you are choosing to.
Out of your mouth.
You're choosing to speak.
Again, they're either going to speak life or they're going to
speak death.
Over your relationship,
over your marriage,
over your household.
It's up to you.
But practically speaking,
we've got to remember our role as a woman first,

(20:26):
as a wife,
and then we operate from that place.
A woman.
We touched on what a man was created to do.
A woman was put into relationship,
which means that a woman's true fulfillment actually comes from being
first. Man's fulfillment comes from doing.

(20:47):
Woman's fulfillment comes from being.
Now hear what I am not saying.
I am not saying that we're not meant to do anything
and we're just supposed to sit at home and just twiddle
our thumbs.
I am saying being is not actually a passive.
It's really not.
It's really not.
But here's the thing with being.

(21:07):
Your fulfillment as a woman comes first and foremost from being.
And it is out of the overflow and the abundance of
that that we can then go out and do and give
so much to all of the hats that we wear.
One of the things that struck me while you were talking,
so I don't know how much biblical study you do,
but the word that is used for helpmate and in Genesis,

(21:32):
when we're talking about the creation of woman,
is actually the same word that in Hebrew is used in
the Psalms.
Yes. For the Lord is a helper.
Yes. So a lot of times when people say help me,
that means lesser or the word is actually unequal with anything
else or any other position of authority.
It is not a lesser place.

(21:52):
Yes. It's actually the same word that is used for Holy
Spirit. Spirit is helper.
It also can be used to mean God's creative masterpiece,
a warrior.
You're a strong person.
You know it.
That that verb is used in.
That actually descriptive word is used in different parts in Hebrew

(22:14):
to mean a lot of different things,
none of which are lesser.
Exactly. There's nowhere where is it ever used to imply that
it's lesser.
And yet somehow we've managed to twist that in a way
that it's.
That's not actually what that means.
But isn't that exactly what the enemy does?
Sure, yeah.
He takes truth.
Like I hear people say,
oh, the.

(22:34):
The enemy is creative.
No, he's not.
The enemy is not creative.
He's actually.
He. It says in Scripture that he is there to steal,
to kill,
and to destroy.
He's been doing the same thing since the beginning of time.
If you go and look at his.
The account in the Bible of when he was in Garden
of Eden with Adam and Eve,
he takes truth and he distorts it.

(22:56):
He might take one word and add one here.
And when you do that,
you completely change truth.
You shift truth.
And so we've got all these people that think they're believing
truth right now,
and they're actually not.
They're believing a half truth because they're not.
Anyway, that's a whole nother part that we could go down.
But he's very sneaky at what he does.

(23:16):
Very sneaky.
I think,
yeah, actually the.
There are many people that choose to pick what they see
as the truth and ignore the parts that are uncomfortable or
don't fit with their particular desire narrative.
And by the way,
we all do that to some extent,
myself included.
So I'm not by many means,

(23:38):
not by any means saying you're not guilty of that.
There are times that I am.
But it is something that I think we have to fight
about or fight against.
And as an example,
one of the things that I encourage people to do is
when you're out looking for facts,
I deliberately try to find facts that disprove the facts that
I find most comfortable.

(23:58):
Right. In other words,
if I find a fact,
I'm like,
yes, that proves my point.
Okay, now let me go see if I can find something
that disproves that.
Darn it,
I did find something.
That's the other thing.
Okay, now I need to study this more.
I need to go deeper because obviously there's more to it,
as opposed to you come across the first fact that you
find and go,
yay, it proves I'm right.

(24:19):
Now let me stop looking.
I'm good.
So how do you think when we talk about this,
realizing our calling and speaking things into existence and decreeing things
for a lot of folks too,
I think there may be some discomfort around this feeling magic
or manifesting the kind of the secret that was the.

(24:40):
Oh, if you speak it every.
The universe will just give you everything you want.
All you have to do is just speak it.
And yet I also think there's a difference in what you're
saying here from that sort of thing.
So talk a little bit about how this isn't just that
the law of attraction kind of thing.
That's also been out there.
I would even challenge that too.

(25:01):
And like I just mentioned before,
the enemy is very sneaky at taking God's original intention of
something and twisting it and turning it and making it look
something that it's not supposed to be.
And I even think of the word manifest.
Yet in Genesis,
God spoke and it became.

(25:22):
I don't know about you,
but I'm pretty sure that's manifesting.
So we're.
Wait, we're seeing manifesting.
Some people will hear the word manifesting and they'll be like,
they'll be sick in their stomach sort of thing.
But actually,
if you look at what the word means,
God spoke and it became God spoke,
let there be light,

(25:42):
and light came.
So when it comes to your words and realizing your calling,
I would say that it all comes down to what you're
talking about is you're talking about aligning your words with vision
and aligning it with God's truth.
Here's what I mean by that.
Your words are literally the blueprint of your future.

(26:05):
And if your language doesn't align with the vision that you
have, you will sabotage your own progress only every single time.
Because your words either build the path to your calling or
they block it.
So a person walking in their purpose doesn't just dream about
it, they speak it as if it's.
If they're already living it.

(26:26):
If God has called you to lead,
but you're constantly saying,
oh, I'm not ready,
oh, I don't know if I'm enough or oh,
I don't think I'm the one,
now you've got the wrong person.
Then your own words are shutting the door to your own
purpose. Like you're reinforcing this limitation instead of activating what's already
inside of you.

(26:47):
And if you want to step into your calling,
your words must match where you're going,
not where you've been.
That's a shift from looking in the past to looking to
the future.
That is key.
That is absolutely key.
That also means no more self doubt in your language.
It also means no more small talk that keeps you playing

(27:08):
small. It means no more speaking what you see instead of
what God has said.
And what happens is when your words and your vision actually
align, you create this beautiful atmosphere where your calling begins to
manifest. It's not about speaking positively,
it's about speaking prophetically.

(27:29):
You know,
your words don't just describe your reality,
they actually shape it.
When you start speaking from your assignment rather than your emotions,
you don't just move towards your calling,
you actually step into it.
So I've got a few questions that I like to ask
all of my guests,
but before I ask those,
is there anything else about the work you do or this

(27:50):
message that you're putting out or your book that you'd like
to share with the listener?
Yes. The voice of a queen.
It's not just a book.
It's a wake up call.
It's a shift,
really. It's a call to take dominion over your life,
your circumstances,
your future by harnessing the weapon of your words.

(28:11):
And I know what it's like to believe for breakthrough while
battling fear.
When my son faced all these learning delays,
I prayed with faith,
but I actually wrestled with the fear of seeing no change.
I felt the weight of waiting,
the exhaustion of wondering if my words were actually truly carrying
power. But everything shifted when I made a decision.

(28:35):
I would not waver.
I would not let fear have the final say.
I would align my words with God's word and refuse to
speak anything less.
And that's what the voice of a queen is.
It's an invitation for women to rise up,
to reclaim their authority and speak as those who rule,
to stop narrating life from a place of defeat,

(28:57):
start declaring their future from a place of dominion.
This is not just about your words.
It is literally about shaping your reality through faith filled,
intentional speech.
And I encourage you guys to get,
get your hands on a copy of the book,
take that first step,
because when you shift your words,
you shift everything.

(29:17):
So my brand is inspired stewardship,
and I run things through that lens of stewardship.
And yet,
speaking of words,
that's one of those words that I've discovered over the years
can mean a lot of different things to a lot of
different people.
So when you hear the word stewardship,
what does that word mean to you?
Yeah, when I think of stewardship,
I actually think of Adam being placed in the garden in
Genesis. He was placed there for a purpose,

(29:40):
and his purpose was to tend and to keep it.
And what is interesting about those two words,
tend and keep,
is in the Hebrew meanings of those two words,
tend actually means to work,
and keep means to guard.
And so with work and guard,
tend and keep in mind,

(30:01):
to me,
when I think of stewardship is responsibility,
it's recognizing that everything that God has given us is an
assignment, whether it's our time,
our gifts,
our influence,
even our words.
And most people,
when they think of stewardship,
they only think of it in terms of finances or money.
But it goes so much deeper than that.

(30:21):
To me,
stewardship is really about managing.
Well, not just managing,
but managing what God has entrusted to You.
And so I even think of Luke 16:10.
Jesus says,
he who is faithful in what is least is faithful also
in the much.
So that means how we handle the small things really determines

(30:43):
what we're trusted with next.
And words might seem like they're small,
but they actually carry the power of life and death.
So in my life,
for instance,
stewardship has really meant guarding what I allow into my mind
and what I release from my mouth.
It's meant being intentional with my words.
Because words dose they don't just create,

(31:04):
they don't just communicate,
they create something.
You know,
what I speak over my life,
what I speak over my family,
my calling.
It determines the reality that I live in.
I have had to steward my voice in moments of uncertainty,
like with Zion could have spoken fear,
frustration, and all of the doubt under the sun.
But I had to choose to steward my words well.

(31:26):
I had to speak God's truth over him even when I
didn't see it.
And because I chose to manage my words with faith,
I saw a shift not just in my son,
but in me as well.
And now it's almost because I've been faithful in stewarding my
own voice,
God is entrusting me with equipping women now to do the

(31:46):
same. This is not just about me,
it's not just about the present,
it's about generations to come.
The words that we speak today don't just shape our lives,
they really set the course for those who are going to
come after us.
And so I get to teach women to steward their voices
with wisdom and faith.
Because when you steward your words,
you steward your destiny.

(32:08):
And when you master your voice,
you actually position yourself for greater dominion,
influence and impact,
not just for yourself,
but for those who will rise because you dared to step
up and speak and operate from a place of stewardship and
responsibility. So this is my favorite question that I like to
ask everybody.

(32:29):
Imagine for a moment that I invented this magic machine.
And with this machine I could take you from where you
are today and transport you into the future,
maybe 150,
maybe 250 years.
But through the power of this machine,
you were able to look back and see your entire life,
see all of the connections,
all of the ripples,
all of the impacts you've left.
What impact do you hope you've left in the world?

(32:50):
I love that.
What would it look like for us to operate from the
future in the now?
Because we don't wait for something to happen before we start
living like it's real.
We live like it now and that's actually what faith is.

(33:14):
And biblically,
that's exactly how God works.
Isaiah 46 says,
I declare the end from the beginning.
And that means when God's giving you a vision,
it's not just a possibility,
it's a divine reality waiting for your agreement.
So the fact that he has shown you this vision means
it's already in his heart for you.

(33:35):
And because I operate from the future,
I've already impacted 5 million women for the kingdom of God.
Like I've seen these women step into their divine identity,
fully owning their voice,
their influence and their God given dominion.
There's this generation of women who no longer shrink back,

(33:56):
but who speak with unshakable confidence and they declare God's word
boldly and they rule their lives with this wisdom and authority
that comes from God.
That is the place that I live from now.
Like, I don't just think about impact as something that might
happen one day.
Like I operate from it now.
The way that I speak,

(34:16):
the way that I build,
the way that I move,
it's as if I've already reached that future.
Because in God's timeline,
it's already done.
Like it's already finished.
And so that's why I don't just want to look back
and I don't want to just see like a book or
a coaching program program.
Like I actually want to see queens rising.

(34:36):
I want to see women ruling with wisdom.
I want to see daughters of God walking in full dominion.
Because I see it like I'm walking in it every single
day. So what's on the roadmap?
What's coming next as you continue on that journey?
This year for me is all about releasing into impact.
So I'm on a mission,

(34:56):
as I said,
with God to impact 5 million women in five years.
That means taking the message of the voice of a queen,
unleashing the power of purposeful words,
and expanding that message globally through speaking,
coaching, strategic partnerships and things like that.
A little low key secret,
but you didn't hear it from me.
I have also just launched Unleash youh Voice coaching program,

(35:20):
which is where I walk women through an eight week journey
to reclaim their authority.
And so for anyone listening,
if you feel like you've been silenced,
if you know that there is more inside of you,
but you've been holding back,
I want to invite you to step into that journey.
You were never meant to stay silent.
It's time to speak with power and walk in your divine
assignment that you've been given by God.
