In today’s episode I’m talking with 2 dynamic women that I can’t wait for you to meet. They are transparent and wise. They entrusted their stories to me, a woman they didn’t know the week before. We met through the Entrusted Women Facebook Group.
My guests are Jessica Collazo & Debra Cheeks.
Jessica is a Chicago native with a heart that beats for Jesus. Her passion is to challenge women to think differently, gain a new perspective and live confidently. Because she knows, it’s possible. Jessica lives in Charlotte, North Carolina with her husband, Jerry, two sons and dog, Sawyer.
Debra Cheek is the wife of John Cheek, and a mom of 7. She is passionate about family, and that passion is most seen in her love for marriages. Her desire to see God's people restore marriage to a place of honor has been channeled and grown through writing, as she published "The Believing Wife" in 2017, and through teaching bible studies, workshops, and seminars. In March of 2017, she founded Believing Wives Bible Study, a ministry designed to teach and train wives to fulfill God's original plan for their lives and in so doing change their homes, communities, and the nation.
In this episode we discussed:
- The hardest thing about the first 5 years of marriage
- God’s power to heal marriages even when there’s been adultery
- Forgiving yourself & your spouse
- The role of discipleship and accountability in helping your marriage thrive
- How to respond when you’re husband doesn’t share your faith
- How do you submit in marriage without losing your voice?
This episode feels like a marriage masterclass. So much to chew on and glean from this discussion.

Finding my voice has been about embracing the way I’m wired instead of thinking there was something wrong with me because of my southern accent, because of my acne prone skin, because I would prefer deep conversations to small talk, because I will attempt to read 3 books at once or because I would choose working out with you over chatting over coffee.
I have found my voice in little and small ways over the years. We’re going to use the word VOICE as our acronym for finding our voice:
V: List Your Values - Are they reflected in how you live your life?
O: Outcomes - How do you solve problems?
I: Inventory your strengths
C: Creativity - How do you express yourself?
E: Emotional intelligence
Why does finding your voice matter? How does God help us in this process?

I’ve always been an avid reader. Every type of personality assessment I’ve ever taken points back to my love of learning. Books have always been my friends. I’m always looking for book suggestions, especially during the summer. To celebrate 50 episodes, I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite books with you. I also created a free gift for you to go along with this episode. More about that later.
As I walk you through some of my favorite authors and a list of my favorite personal growth books, I would love to hear your book recommendations. Share them with me by leaving a comment on the blog at strongher.me/episode50 or on instagram in the comments for this episode over at @Strongherme.

I’m Kendra Tillman your host and the founder of StrongHer.Me where we encourage and equip go-getter women act more courageously in their calling as a wife, mom and entrepreneur.
In general, May is a big month for moms. There’s Mother’s day and graduations. High school graduations, specifically, are big days in a mom’s life. I know because our oldest daughter is graduating this month. High school graduation is when our children take a major step in their journey of crossing from childhood into adulthood. Over this school year, I've spent a great deal of time reflecting on my journey with her.
What I know to be true is engaged parenting requires emotional and physical energy. So much learning and impartation has happened, knowingly and unknowingly, in the last 17/18 years of our child's life. It's normal to feel inadequate.
"Did we do enough?"
"Should I have done that differently?"
"Will he/she be ok?"
"What kind of life will they have?"
"Will they seek out a relationship with God, when we aren't around?"
These are some of the nagging questions we all ask as parents and mentors.
At this stage of parenting, it's easier to notice our faults and the do-over moments we wish we could have. I'm here to encourage you, no matter where you are in your mothering journey, God's grace is enough to cover all the ways we wished we had parented better.
Even though I haven't done it perfectly, my heart is filled with gratitude and joy to have had the privilege to mother/mentor another human being for almost 18 years.
In celebration of this new season, everything we publish @StrongHerMe this month is to awaken the promises God gave you years ago (possibly even before you became a parent or mentor) but have possibly gone dormant for various reasons.
One of the ways I stay present in this journey is by setting new goals. For a season of a few years I stopped setting goals, because I hated the feeling of setting a goal and not achieving it. After multiple missed attempts at achieving my goals I started to lose hope that what I imagined was possible. As I've gotten older, I've started to see goal setting differently than I did in early adulthood.
I started setting goals, once I realized the value in goal setting was not in the achievement alone, but in the transformation I experienced in the process. I now view goal setting as a form of vision casting (in writing). The process helps me to ask myself daily, "what choices will I make, today, that my future self will thank me for later?"
Are you craving a similar shift in your thinking? Are you looking for a fellow mom and go getter to help you develop a plan to live more intentionally? I can equip you with the tools you need to set and achieve your most meaningful goals. This process I've learned over the years is how I've helped a diverse group of women reach their 5Ks, 10Ks and half marathon race goals. It's also helped me organize and execute a transformative yearly women's empowerment event since 2014.
I believe you will see goals as tools you can use to not only strategize, but execute on using our gifts and abilities more effectively. Being specific is important to making progress in your life. Making sure your goals reflect your values is also important. There's one other element you may be overlooking that I want to share with you.
Mark your calendars and join me next Tues, May 14th at 6pm MST for a FREE 45 minute online workshop on this process.

Ok. Now, let's get to today's episode of #WorkYourPlan with Kendra. Our guest is an attorney and one of my dearest friends, Lauren Morgan.
If confusion about the difference between a non profit and for profit, has slowed you down from moving forward, today is the day for you to get unstuck. In this episode Lauren breaks down the different business entities, misconceptions of nonprofits, protecting your intellectual property and she also addresses fears around hiring an attorney. It’s packed with value.
Note: This session was recorded live on Facebook, so you can view it on Facebook.com/strongherme.

For the month of April I'm interviewing women who are making their living within the publishing industry. Get your notepads ready. No more excuses!

Today’s guest is Chilesa Ready is a wife and mom of 3.

She served with her husband of 19 years Marcus, as Marriage Ministry Director before relocating to Phoenix.
In this episode we talk about the discipline of writing a book. We discuss the importance of authenticity as an author, the difference between an editor and a writing coach and the role of the editor in producing a well written book.
“Writing a book is a marathon not a sprint.”
"The book you write is only a book that you can write."

LaToya is a professional editor and writer who has guided coaches, entrepreneurs, veterans, moms, corporate professionals, ministers, and soon YOU toward self-publishing a book. Her superpower is getting your book out of your head and onto the page. With 15 years of experience and a couple of degrees under her belt, she helps aspiring authors annihilate procrastination, fear, and excuses by motivating them to write well and write now by just writing.
In this episode we do a deep dive into self publishing: costs to expect and what to invest your money in, should you request reviewers to sign an NDA agreement, copyrighting your book title and we even discuss what do you do if you have a story to tell but writing isn’t your strength? Her response to that question was worth listening to the entire podcast.
"Content is not lost or destroyed it is just transferred. Use what you already have." -LaToya Thompson

Through the StrongHerMe Facebook group I learned that several women in the community are writing books. For the month of April I'm interviewing women who are making their living within the publishing industry. I originally only planned on interviewing 3 women, but discovered a 4th. They all share a unique perspective. I thought it would be fun to ask a few friends who've written & published books to share their wisdom. Several of them have and I’ll be sharing clips from them on podcast and social media. You will be equipped and encouraged this month. Get your notepads ready. No more excuses! It’s time to start pushing your words out into the world.
For this week's podcast episode, I talk with Titania Paige. She is a wife and mom of a newborn. She founded her first blog and ministry LifeBeforeEternity.com in August 2016. There, she spurs the modern woman onto enduring faith as she awaits her eternal crown. (James 1:12). On her personal site, TitaniaPaige.com, she helps women embrace passion and purity, so they can live out their God-given purpose. Join her Tuesdays for the latest episode of “The Purpose in Purity Podcast.”
Titania is Liberty University graduate with a Bachelor’s Degree in Christian Counseling, as well as a First 5 app writer. Download the app, created by Proverbs 31 Ministries, to study God’s word with her during your quiet time.
In this episode we talk about remaining flexible in your calling, the multiple benefits of blogging, how a website freebie became the best product she’s ever made and how she acquired a book agent and her traditional publishing journey.
What was your takeaway from this message?

Before you go…
The growth circle, and the tools provided like the workbook, will help silence the voice of self doubt long enough for the truth of how God sees you to penetrate your heart and mind. Transformation is a process and I will walk you through a framework for being more intentional in that process. As you walk with me and the women in the circle, you’ll become more confident in your womanhood, more courageous in your work and more consistent in your worship.
Full details at StrongHerMeCoaching.com. Our first session starts soon. I’m working on a video to answer questions you might have about the program. It will be posted at @StrongHerMe on IG this week. You can also email me at Kendra@StrongHer.me to schedule a call.
