We either adapt or we get left behind, and friend, I am not getting left behind.

I have been all in on AI for over a year now and what it has done for my business, my copy, my team, and my capacity is genuinely mind blowing. In this episode I am breaking down the three tools I am using right now that every faith-driven female entrepreneur needs to know about.

In This Episode You'll Learn:

• Why Claude is better than ChatGPT for copywriting and how connecting it to your Google Drive is a total game changer
• How I used 13 years of documented work to build a keynote that blew my own mind
• The Growth Advisory Board prompt that takes emotion out of your biggest business decisions
• Why AI is helping me scale my team, launch more live events, and serve my clients at a higher level
• Why your attitude around AI might be the thing holding your business back
• How faith-driven women have a massive opportunity right now to use AI for good

The 3 Tools:

1. Claude — connect it to your Google Drive, your emails, your Canva. Let it learn your voice and watch what happens
2. The Growth Advisory Board Prompt — drop every bottleneck in your business here and watch the round table go to work
3. Your mindset — own your attitude. Capture the thought. Renew it with truth. This is the CROWN Framework in action

Friend, I met this woman 48 hours before I recorded this episode.

I knew within minutes of our first conversation that I had to get her on this podcast immediately.

Sharelle Mendenhall is Mrs. USA 2024, a full-time evangelist, a woman who has walked through things that would break most people and she is still standing, still shining, still full of fire.

Her sister went missing for five years. They found her body a couple of years ago. Her stepson severed his spine in a snowboarding accident and is now a paraplegic. The month before that her husband was diagnosed with skin cancer.

And from his hospital bed her stepson told her, never give up.

So she didn't. She went on to win the national title. And then she walked away from her company of over 10 years to go into full-time evangelism and never look back.

This episode is fire.

In This Episode You'll Learn:

• Sharelle's extraordinary story, from being born with her twin inside her to Mrs. USA 2024 to full-time evangelist
• Why she says the Holy Spirit is her business partner and what that unfair advantage actually looks like
• What Pentecost at any cost means and why the gifts of the Holy Spirit are more important than ever right now
• The science behind praying in tongues and why a specific part of the brain only fires when you pray that way
• Why her stepson's words from his hospital bed, never give up, changed everything for her
• How she won her first pageant ever without any training and what happened when she prayed backstage
• The three things that drive her spirit of excellence; discipline, obedience, and writing the vision
• Why busy is a four-letter word and how to divide between what is good and what is God
• How to fall in love with the Word of God even if you don't know where to start
• The posture of desperation in prayer and why sometimes you need to be like Hannah and not move until God blesses you
• Why your sob story and your pain cannot be your only story, the victory is on the other side

About Sharelle Mendenhall:

Sharelle Mendenhall is Mrs. USA 2024, a full-time evangelist, speaker, and author of the upcoming book The Power of Keeping Your Word. She is passionate about Pentecost at any cost, helping women walk in the fullness of the Holy Spirit, the power of prayer, and the Word of God. After more than 10 years in business Sharelle is stepping into full-time evangelism to seek and save those who are lost.

Have you ever met a woman whose face literally glows?

I'm not talking about a great skincare routine. I'm talking about the kind of glow that only comes from spending so much time in the presence of God that it starts showing up on your face.

I have met that woman. I get to call her mom.

She's my husband Joshua's mom. She's my pastor. She's my children's grandma. She's one of the wisest, most joyful, most Word-saturated women I have ever known. This episode is my love letter to her.

If you want to know what it actually looks like to put God first, not just say it, but live it, this is the episode.

In This Episode You'll Learn:

• What the glory glow actually is and why it only comes from one place
• Why my mother-in-love has never once been seen grumbling, whining, or complaining and what that does to everyone around her
• How she raised four kids in ministry and got it right and why that is rarer than you think
• What her book Blessed Are the Homemakers says about building a sweet home rooted in the Word
• Why she plasters scripture everywhere in her home and how it spoke to my own children without her saying a word
• What 22 people under one Airbnb roof looks like when the family is built on the things of God
• How her I Love You gifts and handwritten cards have poured into my life in ways I will never forget
• Why she delivers hard conversations in love and what that has meant in my own life
• What it looks like to be a pastor's wife who never complains, never needs her own way, and counts it all joy
• The reward she gets to see every single time her children and grandchildren gather to worship the Lord

Do you ever wonder what was behind the scenes of the moms who raised really incredible humans?

I do. I love studying moms who did it well.

And today I'm honoring the one I had a front row seat to for 46 years. My own mom.

This episode is personal, raw, and full of the kind of wisdom that only comes from watching someone live it out day after day, decade after decade. From raising four D1 athletes to flying across the country every single month to help care for my premature daughter Anna, my mom has never once stopped showing up.

This one is for you, Mama. And for every woman who wants to leave a legacy worth following.

• What my mom wrote in her own words about raising children, read straight from her StoryWorth book
• Why more is caught than taught and what that means for how you show up every single day
• How my mom balanced rules with love and why she says too many rules leads to rebellion
• The discipline method she used that made us harder on ourselves than she ever was
• Why she never once complained, never raised her voice, and never spoke ill of my dad in front of us
• How she role modeled health before healthy was even a thing and what that produced in all four of her kids
• The loss that drove her deeper into her faith and changed everything about how she raised us
• Why she went back to school in her fifties, got her master's, and built her own private practice
• What it looks like to be a praying woman and why my mom's knees tell the whole story
• The legacy she built not just for her children but for all 12 of her grandchildren who are completely obsessed with her

Your financial planner is asking about your investment portfolio, but nobody is asking about the most important investment of your life.

Your marriage.

I'm gonna be honest with you today. This episode starts with a story I've never told publicly, a moment at a corporate dinner in San Francisco where a leader looked me dead in the eye and said something that made me go, "WHAT?!" ...

"If you didn't marry Jesus, you'd be divorced."

She was right. I am so grateful she said it.

This episode is the why behind Marriage Made in Heaven; the raw, real, personal story of how I almost gave my marriage breadcrumbs while building a business, and the three things that changed everything.

Friend, what if the life you've been dreaming about is already inside you and the only thing standing between you and it is the decision to send it?

I had the absolute privilege of sitting down with Lauren Fields, founder and CEO of Fieldswell, TEDx speaker, podcast host, Master's in Psychology, and one of the most inspiring humans I have ever had the privilege of being in a room with, inside her stunning Fieldswell Studios in Rancho Santa Fe.

This conversation wrecked me in the best possible way.

At 14 years old Lauren was life-flighted into a coma after a horse accident and woke up three days later with a traumatic brain injury. She could have let that define her. Instead, it became the very thing that propelled her into studying neuroscience, psychology, and human transformation and eventually building one of the most beautiful creative sanctuaries I have ever walked into.

This is a woman who chose to go all in on creating a life she truly loves, not in spite of her adversity but because of it.

She is here to help you do the same. 💛

In This Episode You'll Learn:

• Why your inner work IS your business strategy and why trying to change everything around you first will never work
• How Lauren went from a traumatic brain injury at 14 to TEDx speaker, podcast host, and brand strategist
• Why success is an inner game and how to start seeing yourself as the identity you desire right now
• The daily habits Lauren lives by to stay at a high frequency and show up as her best self
• Why you have to believe in the vision before it exists and how God will deliver it far greater than you imagined
• How to pick one thing, make a decision, and start taking action instead of staying stuck
• Why mentors are the ultimate shortcut and how to find them even when you can't afford a VIP Day
• The power of your "I am" statements and why what you say after those two words activates everything
• Why staying silent about your gifts is actually selfish and how showing up changes lives
• Lauren's upcoming book Send It: Become the One Who Turns Vision into Velocity

About Lauren Fields:

Lauren Fields is the founder and CEO of Fieldswell, a creative sanctuary in Rancho Santa Fe built for transformation and self-expression. After overcoming a traumatic brain injury, Lauren chose to go all in on creating a life she truly loves, earning a Master's in Psychology, speaking on the TEDx stage, and hosting the Fieldswell Podcast with global thought leaders.
