Discover Your Purpose

What if the hardest seasons of your life weren’t meant to break you… but to build you into the woman God designed you to be?

In this episode, Brandi sits down with Angela Aja, author, coach, and survivor turned spiritual powerhouse for one of the most honest, purpose-filled conversations yet. They dive deep into what it means to rise from the ashes, to heal from what tried to destroy you, and to find your God-given identity in the middle of your mess.

Angela opens up about her own journey through loss, reinvention, and rediscovering her worth after starting over. Together, she and Brandi talk about how to turn your pain into purpose, how to quiet the noise of comparison, and how to walk boldly in your divine calling even when fear tries to keep you small.

This isn’t surface-level motivation, it’s a wake-up call for the woman who is ready to stop waiting for permission and start walking in the purpose God already placed inside her! Grab your coffee (or your journal), and lean in. This conversation will remind you who you are, whose you are, and that it’s never too late to soar.

She Gave Her Baby Up For Adoption: A Strong Woman's Story

This episode will stop you in your tracks—and show you the strength it takes to say “yes” to God when it costs you everything.

Jordan’s story is one of heartbreak, hard choices, and holy surrender. At 21, she found herself pregnant—far from God, surrounded by darkness, and staring down decisions no young woman wants to face. What followed was a journey of redemption, realignment, and radical obedience.

She could have hidden her pregnancy. She could’ve stayed silent. She could’ve chosen the easier path. But instead, Jordan chose adoption—placing her baby boy in the arms of another family, and her story in the hands of the Father.

This isn’t just a pro-life conversation. This is the kind of raw testimony that shifts atmospheres and shakes off shame. This is what it looks like when a strong woman says, “Not my will, but Yours.”

Jordan is now on a mission—educating churches, encouraging birth moms, sharing the truth about adoption, and hosting her own podcast, The Journey After. She’s living proof that God can use the darkest seasons to birth the most beautiful purpose.

Supporting A Loved One Struggling With Mental Health

In this episode, Brandi sits down with Tabitha Yates, suicide survivor, author, and mental health advocate, for a raw, unfiltered conversation about the intersection of faith and mental health. Nothing is off the table: abuse, depression, suicidal thoughts, codependency, therapy, boundaries, and what it really looks like to support someone you love without losing yourself in the process.

If you’ve ever struggled with your own mental health or carried the weight of walking alongside someone who has, you need this conversation. It’s real, it’s raw, and it’s the truth most of us want to ask but are too afraid to say out loud.

This is your reminder: don’t quit, don’t shrink back, and don’t give fear a foothold. Victory is already yours in Jesus!

Toxic Relationships, Narcissism, Boundaries- Through The Lens Of Jesus

Ever wondered if that “toxic” label is being thrown around too loosely—or if there’s something deeper happening in your relationships?

In this episode of The Bossy Big Sis, Brandi sits down with Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (and host of the Soul Grit Podcast), Ann Taylor McNeese, to talk about those hard-but-necessary conversations around narcissism, family dynamics, boundaries, and faith.

This is not your typical clinical chat—think coffee date with girlfriends, sprinkled with wisdom, laughter, and a whole lot of real talk about what it means to navigate messy relationships while still guarding your heart.

Inside this episode we cover:

  • The difference between difficult people vs. something more serious
  • Why boundaries aren’t about controlling others (and what they really are)
  • How “triggers” show up in everyday life and how to stop letting them run the show
  • The sneaky ways we over-function in our families and what that costs us
  • How faith reshapes the way we navigate toxic dynamics and find peace

This conversation will leave you nodding along, reflecting on your own family patterns, and maybe rethinking the way you approach conflict altogether.

Pull up a chair, grab your coffee (or your protein shake), and let’s dig in and you just might shift how you see your relationships.

Sexual Abuse, Domestic Violence, Mom Guilt... But God

This episode is powerful. Raw. Redemptive. And it’s one you won’t forget.

Brandi sits down with Sindy Love, host of the Live Loved Mom podcast (ranked in the top 10% globally!), to talk about what it really means to walk through fire — and come out stronger, wiser, and deeply anchored in God's love.

Sindy opens up about her childhood in Haiti, surviving trauma, abuse, and identity struggles that shaped her early years. She shares the pain of living with secrets, the weight of people-pleasing, and the deep desire for love and acceptance — and how she found freedom through surrender and faith.

But this isn’t just about what she walked through — it’s about what God has done since.
This is a must-listen for any woman who’s ever carried silent battles, questioned her worth, or struggled to let go. Whether you’re in a hard season or on the other side of one, this conversation will remind you of the healing, strength, and JOY that’s waiting on the other side of surrender.

✨ Bonus: Sindy is giving Bossy Big Sis listeners a FREE 3-day devotional: Live Loved Mom. Designed to help moms let go of guilt and anchor themselves in biblical truth — you’ll find the link in the show notes below!

You Can Do Hard Things: From Surviving to Thriving

This week on The Bossy Big Sis, Brandi is talking about the hard stuff no one signs up for, the valleys of life we never would have chosen. The Bible reminds us that there will be trouble, but also that trouble can produce perseverance and a character that doesn’t quit.

This isn’t just about surviving what’s been thrown at you, it’s about the choice you have in what comes next.

🔑 Inside this episode you’ll hear:

  • The truth about why surviving isn’t the same as thriving
  • The power in choosing the hard thing now so you’re stronger later
  • What Scripture really says about perseverance and obedience
  • A mindset shift that will change how you approach the battles you didn’t choose
  • Why transformation requires a decision and why it’s worth it

Sis, you’ve already survived 100% of the hard things that have tried to take you out. Now it’s time to decide how you’ll show up in the next chapter, because you CAN do hard things!

Are You In A Co-Dependent Relationship

What if the way you’ve been “loving” others is actually keeping you and them from real freedom?

In this eye-opening conversation, Brandi sits down with Peggy Easterling, Christian mindset coach and founder of The Mindset School, to unpack how codependent patterns sneak into our lives and relationships. Peggy shares her personal story of breaking free from people-pleasing, setting healthy boundaries, and finding her worth in Christ alone.

Bossy Big Sis
The Struggle With BEing Still

What if the missing piece to your health and happiness isn’t another diet, workout, or productivity hack… but slowing down and letting God love you right where you are?

In this episode, Brandi sits down with Heather Howell, biblical counselor, author, and founder of Worth for a raw and Spirit-led conversation about identity, soul health, and walking in victory without all the striving. From childhood wounds to burnout, from “doing” to simply “being,” Heather’s story will inspire you to take the lid off your life and live from a place of abundance in Christ.

You’ll leave feeling lighter, seen, and reminded that you’re already loved, already chosen, and already victorious.

Bossy Big Sis
Life Lessons From An Adventurous Weekend

Brandi is fresh off an unforgettable family trip to wild + wonderful West Virginia — and she’s bringing the top 10 life lessons learned along the way. From adrenaline-packed moments to quiet mindset shifts, this episode is packed with real talk, belly laughs, and the kind of perspective that sticks with you.

Alongside her dad, sons, and nephew, Brandi reflects on how each adventure — from white water rapids to rappelling off cliffs — taught them something powerful about everyday life.

They’re talking about:
💪 Doing the hard thing (even when it’s terrifying)
🧠 Using your mental muscle when your body wants to back down
🚀 Why the first step is always the scariest — and the most important
🔄 How mindset shifts in the wild carry over into Monday mornings

Whether you're craving more courage, a little motivation, or just a fun, lighthearted story — this episode delivers.

Come for the adventure. Stay for the mindset shift.

Want the full scoop (think: behind-the-scenes, photos, the exact itinerary, and all the unfiltered moments)? It’s waiting for you inside the Bossy Posse.

This episode will inspire you to say “yes” to the wild, scary, beautiful stuff — even when your knees are shaking. 💛

Bossy Big Sis
Mental Illness, Suicidal Ideation, Sexual Abuse, Satanic Rituals... And Set Free Through Jesus Part 2

In Part 2 of Nichole Henson’s powerful story, we find out what happened after the abuse. Because freedom isn’t always instant—and healing? It’s a battlefield.

Nichole opens up about her journey as a licensed therapist, all while secretly spiraling. Self-harm. Rage. Hearing voices that hated her husband, her child, her parents—and God. For years, she believed those voices were just a broken part of her. But the truth? It was deeper than mental illness. It was demonic.

She couldn’t get her thoughts under control because they weren’t hers. She had unknowingly partnered with torment—and deliverance was the only way out.

Sis, this is not just another “look what God did” story. It’s raw. It’s intense. And it’s a wake-up call for every woman battling silently behind a smile.

If you’ve ever felt like your mind was at war, like your faith and your feelings were pulling you in opposite directions, or like freedom was for everyone but you—this episode is your reminder that God isn’t finished with you yet.

Bossy Big Sis
Step Into Your Main Character Energy, But Make It Biblical

Sis. This one is for YOU—the version of you that’s been dimming her light, shrinking back, and second-guessing if it’s “too much” to walk in the authority God gave you.

This isn’t about ego. It’s not about hot girl summer for the aesthetic.
This is what happens when purpose meets obedience.

In this powerful, truth-packed episode, Brandi isn’t calling you out—she’s calling you UP. She’s unpacking what main character energy really looks like in the Kingdom. It’s not loud. It’s not arrogant. It’s not you getting everything you want.


It’s alignment. Boldness. Confidence. Authority. Peace. Obedience.

So why are we so afraid to walk in it?

Brandi digs deep into the real reason many of us settle for being the side character in our own story—and how the enemy uses guilt, fear, and false humility to keep us small. If you've ever felt conflicted about being too much, questioned your assignment, or caught yourself shrinking so others feel more comfortable, this one will wreck you in the best way.

Bossy Big Sis
Mental Illness, Suicidal Ideation, Sexual Abuse, Satanic Rituals... And Set Free Through Jesus

This episode will leave you speechless—and then send you straight to your knees.

Nichole Henson doesn’t hold back as she shares her jaw-dropping journey through childhood abuse, spiritual darkness, and years of torment that no one talks about from the pulpit. We’re talking witchcraft. Sexual abuse. Mind control. Spiritual warfare. All before the age of 10.

But Sis, this isn’t where the story ends. In 2020, Nichole had a radical encounter with Jesus—and experienced true deliverance that changed EVERYTHING.

This isn’t your Sunday School testimony. It’s gritty, it’s raw, and it’s dripping with the power of the Holy Spirit. If you’ve ever battled mental torment, generational trauma, or felt like you were under attack for simply breathing—you need to hear this.

Part 2: Addiction, Sex Trafficking, Homeless: Amber Love’s Journey to Freedom

In Part 2 of this powerful two-part series, Amber Love continues her story of redemption and raw transformation. Amber shares how God met her in the depths of her brokenness and never stopped showing up.

This episode is a testament to what happens when we say yes to God—even when we feel unworthy, ashamed, or stuck. Amber’s story is honest, bold, and full of those “only God” moments that remind us He never stops pursuing our hearts.

If you missed Part 1, listen here! 

Amber Love is a redeemed daughter of God and a third-generation survivor of sex trafficking who transforms her personal journey from slavery to sexual sin into freedom as a beacon of hope and empowerment for others. With a powerful testimony of resilience and freedom, Amber dedicates her life to inspiring those seeking liberation from similar experiences. Additionally Amber’s message is a word of encouragement to the church body to return to their first Love and to fully put off the old self and embrace the new in Christ.

Amber's impactful story has been featured on the Christian Broadcasting Network twice and prominently included in the United States Navy's updated Sexual Assault Prevention and Response training video—the first revision in almost 20 years. 

She is a published author in collaboration with three-time New York Times Best Seller Tamra Andress, of a women’s devotional entitled: “Before She Knew Jesus”, and host of the Above Zero Podcast: Providing a platform for Christ followers to share their testimonies and discuss their personal sanctification process.
