Seek First CEO: Neuroscience, Scripture, & Spirit-led Strategy for High-performing Christian Women

In this episode, we’re getting honest about the real reason high performers struggle to slow down—even when they know rest is biblical, healthy, and necessary.

We’re breaking down what’s happening in your nervous system when you try to rest (hello, guilt + restlessness), why information alone doesn’t change behavior, and how small, intentional micro-rests—re-trains your body to feel safe enough to actually enjoy rest.

Because rest ...

You don’t need more Bible verses. You don’t need new strategies. You don’t need better mindset shifts.

You need to learn how to integrate what you already know.

In this episode, we unpack why high-performing, Kingdom-minded entrepreneurs can consume incredible content—books, podcasts, sermons, strategies—and still feel capped, frustrated, or tense at their next level.

This isn’t a discipline problem. It’s not a faith problem. And i...

You were never meant to build the Kingdom through your business. So what were you meant to do?

Jesus didn’t invite His followers to build something for God. He invited them to do something different. 

In this episode, we return to Jesus’ teachings on the Kingdom and explore a quiet but powerful shift many leaders miss: the Kingdom isn’t something you do for God—it’s something you learn how to live from with Him.

This is a conversat...

When someone asks “How are you?” it’s easy to default to “I’m fine.” But for high-performing Christian women, “fine” is often code for functioning—pushing through stress, carrying massive responsibility, and calling it normal. In this episode, Heather breaks down the subtle signs your nervous system is stuck in go-mode, why “safe” can feel unfamiliar, and how to start shifting out of chronic activation without abandoning your calli...

We love new beginnings — new years, new opportunities, new seasons.

But if you’ve ever wondered why:

• a new year didn’t change how you feel

• a new opportunity didn’t change your patterns

• believing harder didn’t lead to lasting change

…this episode is for you.

In this conversation, I’m sharing the truth about new beginnings that most people never hear: real change doesn’t happen through mindset alone.

I talk about:

In this episode, I’m breaking down the 5 biggest myths about nervous system work and what every Christian woman needs to know before starting this journey.

If you’ve ever thought nervous system work means you’ll always be calm, or if you’ve worried it was “too new age,” this conversation will set you free.

Here’s what I’ll cover:

• Why healing often feels worse before it feels better

• What scripture actually says about pruning...

The world feels chaotic right now, doesn’t it? With constant bad news, cultural pressure, and endless noise, it’s easy to feel like you’re carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. But here’s the truth: you were never meant to hold it all.

In this episode, I share:

• Why it’s okay to release what you were never designed to carry.

• How to shift from leading out of pressure to leading from peace and overflow.

• The imp...

This week, I’m back after a break—and I’m sharing the raw truth about transition. We moved our family across the country from Pittsburgh, PA to Phoenix, Arizona and it's been BRUTIFUL. Transition can be both brutal and beautiful. It’s the tension of excitement and grief, of trusting God while wrestling with what is still yet to come.

In this honest episode, I share:

• Why transition is always a both/and (not just good or bad)...

You’re doing everything “right.” The business is growing. The money’s coming in. People see you as successful. But deep down… something feels off.

You’re tired. You’re emotionally disconnected. Your relationships are strained. And while your business is thriving, your life feels like it’s quietly falling apart.

In this quick but powerful episode, I'm sharing a spontaneous encounterI had with the Lord while on a walk—an encounter that sparked a question that could shift everything in your business and your life.

What do you really believe about God?

God whispered, "I’m better than you think I am." That one statement unraveled years of performance, striving, and fear-based thinking...and replaced it with awe, freedom, and truth.

You’ll hear...

Let’s be honest—many of us are doing all the “right” things: We’re reading our Bibles. We’re praying. We’re serving. We’re leading. And yet… we still feel disconnected from God.

We wonder, Why can’t I hear Him? Why does He feel so far? Is it something I’m doing wrong?

In today’s episode, we’re gently (but boldly) reframing those questions—and offering a new perspective rooted in both neuroscience and spirit-led truth.

You’ll hear:

In this episode, I’m inviting you into a sacred space of alignment,  Not hustle. Not striving. Just alignment—heart, mind, body, and spirit—with the One who holds it all together.

This isn’t about performance. It’s about presence.

Whether you’re stuck in survival mode or spiritually burnt out, this...

You’ve heard it before: “There’s no competition in the Kingdom.” So why does sisterhood still feel so… hard sometimes?

In today’s episode, I’m sharing a raw story of being deeply triggered in a room full of high-achieving Christian women—and how God used that moment to expose wounds I didn’t know still needed healing. From being the leader to letting myself be led, this episode is for the woman who has been hurt by women, and the w...

For too long, high-achieving Christian women have felt like they had to shrink in faith spaces or strive in business. But what if you didn’t have to do either?

The truth? The same patterns that make you feel disconnected at church are keeping you stuck in your business, your marriage, and your success.

In today’s episode, we’re closing out this powerful series by walking through the Abundance Framework—the faith-driven roadmap that...

Have you ever walked into a church women’s event, a Bible study, or even a casual gathering and felt… disconnected? Like you had to hold back, filter yourself, or downplay your success just to fit in?

💡 What if I told you it’s not just the church that’s making you feel this way—it’s also you?

In today’s episode, we’re going deeper than external church culture and into the hidden trauma patterns that cause high-achieving Christian ...

In this episode, we’re breaking down: ✅ Why walking rewires your brain for clarity and creativity. ✅ The science behind dopamine & serotonin (a.k.a. your brain’s happy chemicals). ✅ How walking calms your nervous system and helps you get out of stress mode. ✅ Why walking makes...

Have you ever walked into a church service or a church women’s event and felt like you didn’t quite belong?

You love Jesus. You love business. But when you try to talk about scaling, strategy, or success, you feel the energy shift. Maybe you’ve even found yourself shrinking, filtering, or downplaying your ambition just to fit in.

Sister, you are NOT alone.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing my personal story of why this has been such ...
