Do you wish that you could lead your team in a way that honours and glorifies God? Are you struggling to overcome self-doubt as a leader and have a desire to be more confident in your role? Do you want the courage to deal with difficult people but don’t want to upset anyone?
Well, you’re in the right place!
On this podcast, I’ll teach you how to lead like Jesus, even if you’re not allowed to speak of your faith in your workplace. You’ll learn to become bold and confident as a leader, to speak up and say what God wants you to say and to finally know that you are worthy to be in your current role. Because God chose you not because you are already a perfect leader but because HE wants to mold you and use you to be an instrument in the kingdom of God.
Hey, I’m Rika, and for the past 10 years, I’ve been in middle-management leadership roles, where I have led various teams, from big to small, and experienced my fair share of working with difficult people, having tough conversations, hiring and firing people and managing team dynamics.
I thought that I could rely on worldly knowledge of leadership to get me through. I attended various leadership courses and listened to many leadership podcasts, but I was still struggling as a leader. I was feeling frustrated and to be honest, I was not enjoying my leadership role and felt like quitting more often than I probably should have!
I finally realised that if I wanted to be the leader that I truly desired to be (which was a leader who wasn’t shy to speak up, a leader who honoured God with her actions and a leader who could build a cohesive team without the drama), I needed to partner with God and find a Christian leadership mentor to guide me and keep me accountable.
I committed my leadership journey to God and partnered with HIM. I started working with a mentor and stepped out in faith as I did hard things every single day. And I can’t wait to share what I’ve learned with you!
If you’re ready to lead your team in a way that honours God, I’m excited to be your mentor! So, grab your notebook and pen (and don’t forget that Chai Latte), and let’s unlock your God-given leadership potential!

123 | [Guest] Your Body Is God’s Temple: How to Lead Without Burning Out with Phyllis Hayes-Reams
As female Christian leaders, we often pour ourselves out for others—our teams, our families, our communities—until there’s nothing left. But what if God is inviting us to see our leadership through the lens of stewardship... starting with our physical health?
In this powerful and faith-filled episode, I'm joined by Dr. Phyllis Hayes-Reams, a physician and passionate advocate for women's health. Together, they explore what it truly means to honor your body as God’s temple and why your physical well-being is deeply connected to your leadership effectiveness.
In this episode, we talk about:
What the Bible says about stewarding our physical health
How burnout affects Christian women in leadership roles
The link between physical neglect and spiritual disconnection
The importance of rest, rhythm, and routine for sustainable leadership
Practical steps to care for your body without guilt or overwhelm
Whether you're a school leader, ministry director, or business owner, this conversation will encourage you to prioritize your health, not just as a wellness goal but as an act of obedience and worship.Connect with Dr. Phyllis Hayes-Reams
