If you feel like you’re leading everything, but losing yourself in the process — this episode will breathe life back into your spirit. ✨

In this powerful conversation with Dea Irby, The Belonging Mentor, we dig into the kind of leadership Christian wives and mothers rarely talk about — the leadership that starts in the unseen places with God. Dea shares decades of wisdom as a pastor’s wife, Bible study leader, entrepreneur, and mother of eight, revealing why real alignment isn’t about “balance”… It’s about constantly returning to center with God.

You’ll hear us unpack:
 • Why submitting to God, not the pressure around you, creates real peace
 • How to notice God’s unseen protection in everyday moments
 • The secret to hearing His answer when everything feels loud
 • What happens when you finally let go of control
 • How to create belonging in your home, workplace, and church
 • Why putting God first makes everything else flow
 • And a heartfelt prayer from Dea that will meet you right where you are

If you’re exhausted from performing, striving, and holding everyone together, this episode will remind you that you don’t have to lead alone. God has a pace, a plan, and a place of belonging for you, and when you step into it, everything shifts.
