**Top 3% Global Podcast** Hey friend! Are you tired of letting fear keep you from stepping into new opportunities? Do or did you ever wish college wouldn’t end so you could have more time to prepare for adulting and life’s confusing unknowns? In trying to figure out being a college graduate, a newlywed, or raising kiddos, did you also struggle with having successful interviews, leading groups, giving great presentations, and everything in between? Stepping into anything new can be daunting, and I want to help make it a bit easier! In this podcast, you will find biblical solutions and practical tips to become a confident public speaker so you can speak boldly when given the opportunity and say “yes” to whatever God calls you to without fear of judgment.

Hey! I’m Sarah, a wife, a boy mama, a disciple of Jesus, and your public-speaking bestie. For many years, I tried to find my identity in the approval of others rather than embracing my identity in Christ. I felt lost and unsure of who I was, yet I felt confident speaking on stage as I tried to grow my approval. But all that led to was imposter syndrome and wondering why I couldn’t bring that confidence off-stage into my daily life. I finally realized that Jesus HAD to be my firm foundation and that I could establish myself in someone secure and unchanging! Because my worth is in Jesus, I can fight against social anxiety and be victorious each time, boldly speaking on the things I genuinely care about. My confidence grew because I knew I could rest in the firm foundation of Biblical truth - and now I’m excited to share what I’ve learned with you! My mission is to equip you to love Jesus deeper, to go for the interview, give the presentation, and take on adulting with BOLDNESS! I want you to know who you are because of Whose you are, and to learn how all of it connects! If you are ready to learn how biblical truth can be applied to daily life and boost your confidence...
