StoryMakers- Women’s Identity, Purpose, Belonging, Leadership, Faith

1-Identity Formulas

Do you ever feel lost, unsure of who you are, or disconnected from your true self? You’re not alone. Many of us wrestle with questions like Who am I? What am I here for? Where do I belong? But too often, we look for answers in the wrong places—our roles, achievements, relationships, or what the world expects of us.
We’re flipping the script on identity. Instead of striving to do more so we can be someone, we’ll explore God’s Kingdom model - a transformational way of understanding who you are, why you matter, and how to walk confidently in your purpose.
I share my own journey through identity struggles, the truth about false labels we carry, and how to begin walking in the unshakable identity God has given you. We’ll also dive into the critical role of self-leadership—learning how to guide ourselves well so we can lead and love others effectively.
By the end of this episode, you’ll have a framework to:✔ Identify where you may be living from the world’s Do → Have → Be model✔ Understand how your true identity is rooted in knowing God, not in striving✔ Reflect on the labels you’ve been wearing and which ones God wants to remove✔ Take steps toward living with purpose, confidence, and belonging
Key Takeaways:
Your identity isn’t found in what you do, but in knowing God and who He created you to be. Stop chasing titles, achievements, or people’s approval—those things were never meant to define you.
The world teaches us to ‘Do → Have → Be,’ but God calls us to ‘Know → Be → Have → Do.’ Knowing God’s love for you allows you to be who He made you to be, which equips you with what you need, so you can do what you were created to do.
Self-leadership matters. We were never taught how to lead ourselves well, but when we build strong identity foundations, we become the kind of people who can impact the world with love instead of fear.

StoryMakers Trailer- Start Here!

START HERE! StoryMakers are women who know they have a calling to walk out their lives on purpose and want to know how to do it. They are in pursuit of God, looking for hope, and learning as they go. This is a group of women who want to be accepted as they are, grow in love, and lead themselves and others well.
StoryMakers don't want to live a life that happens to them: they want to take intentional action to partner with God in living the life He called them to.
No matter where you find yourself right now, you are invited on this journey. Your Point A doesn't matter as much as the Point B you're heading towards, and this show is all about equipping and encouraging you to stand tall, persevere, and keep walking.
