My bank account read $0.00... and I literally laughed out loud!

Imagine sitting in your favorite salon chair, freshly pampered, only to have your card declined at the register and find your savings short by $1,000. The old version of me would have been panic-stricken, with my panties in a total wad. But yesterday? I completely laughed it off.

In this episode of the Shine with Frannie Show, I am pulling back the curtain on how I broke free from a hidden spiritual master—the spirit of mammon—and used a weaponized biblical framework to completely transform my money story, pay off $13,000 in debt, and step into true Kingdom authority.

Have you ever said, “I just don’t hear God’s voice…”

As adults, we often find ourselves over-complicating what it means to hear from the Father. We strain to listen, yet sometimes feel like we’re missing the frequency. But imagine if we started earlier—what if we learned to recognize His gentle whisper before the world got so noisy and life so got so busy?

God’s Word tells us to come to Him like a child, and my guest today has captured that heartbeat perfectly. Silvia Ledon is an award-winning children's book author, and her latest work, The Voice of God, is a masterpiece that both children and adults can enjoy together.

Today, Silvia is sharing practical tips on how to hear God’s voice in the everyday and, more importantly, how to start those vital conversations with your own littles at home.

Join me as we welcome Silvia to the Shine with Frannie Show.

In a recent visit home, I realized how apparent the scarcity v. abundance mindset was in a simple interaction with my mom one morning over coffee.

Here’s the Truth-- scarcity and abundance aren't simply financial concepts.

They're spiritual mindsets.

And nowhere do we see this more clearly than in Matthew 14, the feeding of the five thousand.

In today's episode, I share how Jesus and the disciples viewed their environments and resources through different lenses-One saw Kingdom abundance, while the others saw lack and limitations.

In today's episode, I ask one key question: "What are you doing with what feels like "not enough" in your life?"

Using the story of Jesus feeding 5000+ in Matt 14, I outline four simple tools to replace limiting beliefs with Truth, rewire your mind, and retrain your mouth with words that speak blessings!

If you know there is more to life but you don’t know how to access it, I want to personally invite you to my five-week BREAKTHROUGH coaching experience.

Together, we'll explore ✨ deeply rooted beliefs like Lack and scarcity and abundance and prosperity and how to replace them with God’s Word to partner with heaven for supernatural breakthrough and overflow just like Jesus did with the fish and loaves!

If you're ready to trade scarcity for abundance and let miracles become your default operating system, click here and join our next BREAKTHROUGH session. We start this week and there is a seat waiting for you!

In Luke 10:19, Jesus reminds the disciples, "Listen! I have given power to you. You will even stand on dangerous snakes and insects and you will have authority over all the power of the Devil. Nothing will hurt you."

We have the authority, yet how many of us are actually using it to bring our lives into alignment with the Kingdom?!

In today's episode of the Shine with Frannie Show, I share a story about a humble missionary, Don Richardson, and how he wielded the power given to him by the authority of Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit.

The same power lives in us! It's time to start using it! tune in and be inspired by Don's amazing testimony and then join the Miracle Mindset Masterclass where we will learn about your rights as a Kingdom citizen and give you the practical steps to activate them every single day. The training is free but you have to register to receive the link and other essentials.

Six years ago, Evan Pfeufer made a bold prediction in his high school yearbook.

"Knicks in 6. 2026 NBA Finals."

At the time, his beloved New York Knicks weren't exactly championship material. In fact, they actually stunk.

But look how his words came to pass!

YOUR WORDS HAVE POWER!

In today's episode, I share the apostle Paul's encouragement to the Body of Christ to learn to activate this spiritual gift (and why and how to apply it) in three simple steps! Grab a notebook because these tools will change your life (+I share a ton of scripture to check out for yourself!)

and if you want to change your life and experience God's overflow, join my five-week BREAKTHROUGH coaching experience.

I intentionally keep the groups small—just 12 people—because transformation happens best in community.

I would love to walk alongside you.

And until then, commit for the next thirty days to only say what God says. Watch what happens.

Wait with expectancy.

Sync your words to set miracles into motion!
I am believing for you.

"Carrie, I never knew that affected you..."

These were the words spoken to Carrie when she confronted her abuser years after the sexual abuse happened in her own home.

In today's episode of the Shine with Frannie Show, I sit down with author, podcaster, and coach Carrie Watts to discuss healing, redemption, and the transformative power of sharing your story.

In this powerful and deeply moving episode, Carrie opens up about her personal journey through trauma and sexual abuse--which happens to 1:4 women and 1:10 men--and the process of confronting painful wounds while learning to trust Jesus in deeper and more intimate ways.

Her newest book, Crisis of Faith, takes the heart of her personal memoir and reimagines it through fiction for young girls ages 13–15, creating a message of hope, healing, courage, and identity for the next generation.

At the center of Carrie’s mission is this truth: no matter what a girl faces, nothing is impossible with God on her side. Through faith, supportive community, and healing conversations, girls and women alike can rise above their pain and step into the purpose God has for their lives.

In this episode, we discuss:

The health benefits of journaling as powerful tools for healing, intimacy with God, and personal breakthrough

How unresolved trauma and hidden wounds can create a “crisis of faith”—and what true healing actually looks like

The deeper message behind Crisis of Faith and why Carrie believes this generation of girls desperately needs hope-filled stories rooted in biblical truth

If you’ve ever wrestled with pain, questioned God in your suffering, or wondered if your story could ever be redeemed, this conversation will encourage you to keep healing, keep trusting, and keep moving forward in faith.

If Jesus said He we would do greater things than Him, why are we NOT seeing believers perform miracles? John 14:12
Real talk—today’s Christians are weak & clueless.
Jesus literally told us that the keys to seeing the supernatural power of heaven manifest lie in seeking the Kingdom of God first.
But here is the problem: most believers don’t actually have a full understanding of what the Kingdom of God really is. I mean, can you define it!??
Think about it... if Jesus tells us we are supposed to seek it, but we don’t even know what we are looking for, how on earth will we ever find it?!
Here is the shift you need to make:
When you truly discover the Kingdom, you don’t just receive from it—you begin to operate in it.
That is the exact moment when miracles stop being a rare, shocking event and finally become normal, and this is what today's episode is all about--experiencing miracles as a part of a your daily walk with God.
If you want to experience miracles as a “normal” part of your everyday life as a follower of Jesus, I want to invite you to something special.

Last year a shopping trip to a home decor store changed my life--and led me to change the way I was thinking and living for good!

Shortly after that shopping trip, I implemented ✨ The Rule of Three More ✨--it’s super simple and so impactful so I want to share it with you today--it has literally changed my life:
Whenever a problem arises, you immediately complete the statement: 👉 “It’s a good thing that…”

Tune in for practical examples to begin renewing your mind the way Paul instructs us in Romans 12:2.

🔥 apply Kingdom principles
🔥 renew limiting beliefs

You’ve prayed.
You’ve cried.
You’ve hoped.
You’ve wondered if God forgot about you.

Today I want to encourage my fellow sister with an important message sent straight from heaven-- ✨ Your miracle is out for delivery. ✨

Let's get into the Bible--Daniel 10 states that when Daniel prayed, the miracle was set into motion, but the Prince of Persia came to attack!

Have you ever felt that way? You pray then all hell breaks loose, then eventually you give up on your dream or let your desire go dormant!?! That's the enemy's plan.

Sister, you have to let your dream DRIVE you--Dale Mast puts it like this, "Let your dreams carry you until you carry your dream!"

Watch what happens when you begin showing up ready for the increase.

I went through a season where I gave up--I had already moved onto:
Hopeless Lane.
Dream No More Drive.
I Gave Up Court.

And some of us stopped preparing for the miracle because disappointment convinced you it wasn’t coming.

Ask yourself, "If my miracle arrived tomorrow…"
Would I be ready to receive it?

Would I have the emotional capacity?

I pray this message encourages you and shares practical

tools to help you hold on to hope and don't give up before your dream arrives!

Oh, and if you want to my new guide, Miracle Mindset, DM on Instagram and I will send a link to learn how to live and operate in the fullness of God's miracles every day of your life as you retrain your brain with God's Word and replace lies with Truth! DM me here on Instagram.

Mother's Day has not always been easy for me.

I have grieved not being a mama.

I envisioned National-Lampoons-Clark-Griswold-family-road-trips in a station wagon and Christmas morning in pajama--this was before matching pajamas was a thing...

But through years of inner healing work and learning about God’s character and my identity, God has redeemed those visions in different ways.

One season of healing in particular, the Lord led me to Genesis 3:20, "The man gave his wife the name 'Eve,' because she was the mother of all the living."

Did you catch that? As soon as God gave Eve to Adam, He named her--there was no Cain or Abel…yet she was given the title of "mother".

In today's show, I share examples of how God always declares your identity before He establishes it in you.

I give examples from the Bible where we see this pattern and offer suggestions to help you discover your identity too.

Jer 33:3 says, “Call to me and I’ll answer you, and will tell you about great and hidden things that you don’t know.’” God wants a relationship with you--one filled with discovery and little inside jokes and secrets!

I also have a free guide: ⁠Unlocking Your Gifts, Glitter and Gold.⁠ It is a simple reflection guide that helps you discern what unique gifts and talents God has placed inside you that reveal your destiny.

And if you’re sitting there like, “I've done the spiritual gift test and all the other assessments, but I still have no clue what God has spoken over me--" Girl, you might not be able to see the forest through the trees--that is what a coach does.

I have a few spots for 1:1 clients this month. I'd love to sojourn with you and help you learn to hear God’s voice and to know why you're here and how to live it out. Send me a ⁠DM on Instagram ⁠with the word: COACHING and I will be in touch to see if we are a good fit for some 1:1 work.

I pray this message blesses you--if so, it might bless a fellow sister. Please share with her by simply hitting the share button, and of course while you are there, reviews and rating help get the show served to more people! I would so appreciate you leaving both.

Love you to life!

After raising $1000 in sponsorships to participate in a teen beauty pageant, I quit before I ever walked the stage.

Yep, I quit.

Sadly, I recognized this as a pattern in my life.

Sports teams, hobbies, even boyfriends and jobs...

And that "easy path" set me up for a lifetime of unfinished business.

Fom a spiritual perspective, I learned that this is actually known as the abortion spirit.

Now, Hold up--hear me out--n o…I have never been pregnant with a child, so please understand, I am not talking about that kind of abortion.

I was aborting missions, duties, and assignments prematurely. I was cutting them off before they ever got to the "delivery" stage—before they could ever be fulfilled. I was terminating things before I could see God's plan completed in them.

Once I realized this, once that lightbulb finally clicked on, I decided right then and there: NO MAS--  I was going to be a finisher!

And I want you to be afinisher too!

In today's show there is a 4- part acronym for anyone looking to achieve a goal, go after a dream and see a vision come to life.

It's time to get things D.O.N.E.

Tune in for a fun story of my ugly duckling era (and check my IG page for evidence of my pics from 1987!) and get some insights about the spiritual cause of quitting--and how to be a finisher!

"God is in control!"

It sounds super spiritual and comforting doesn't it?

But I need to get real with you for a moment, sister. It's just not true. In fact, it's one of the biggest lies Christians believe.

In today's episode, I break down some hefty concepts and misconceptions about the Kingdom of God and the part we have to play in it.

Sadly many Christians have adopted an ideology that God is actively controlling all things. They believe He is directly orchestrating every occurrence, every twist and turn, just to fit all of these pieces together in some celestial jigsaw puzzle.

A few concepts I share:

Alright, sis,...who would've thought that God could use being trapped in a dress in a department store dressing room for a divine download from the Holy Spirit!?!?

This just goes to prove, He can use everything--nothing is ever wasted!

This week, we’re exposing the times we try to force our lives, relationships, or ministries to fit when God is calling us to FLOW.

I’ll walk you through a simple 4-part- acronym—to help you stop trying to make things happen in your own life and begin aligning with the natural rhythm of the Kingdom.

Today, I’m sitting down with Mitch Matthews—a success coach, speaker, and creator of the top 1% podcast DREAM THINK DO.

Mitch has spent his career "encouraging the encouragers," helping everyone from C-suite executives at Nike, NASA, and Disney to stay-at-home mamas realize they were put on this planet for a purpose.

Whether you are looking to build your own "Authority Bridge™" or simply need to find the spark again, Mitch shares how to dream bigger, think better, and finally do more of what you were created for.

In this episode, we discuss:

Why you may have lost your "WHY" and how to get it back!

Why an "immeasurably more" life isn't actually about the hustle of fulfilling a dream—it’s about something much deeper and more intimate 

The one surprising common thread that connects high-powered CEOs with the mama holding it all together at home.

How to turn your years of hard-won experience into a life and business you truly love.

Now is your time to DREAM, THINK, DO!

Hormones, cortisol, weight lifting and more! There are so many misconceptions about midlife health for women and there is so much information (often times conflicting) too!

In today's episode, I sit down with Erin Henry — Registered Dietitian & Midlife Strength Coach — and we get to the skinny on all these things (and more!)

Midlife is actually a season of reinvention, not decline. We unpack how body changes in midlife aren’t a sign that a woman is failing, but how can support herself differently.

Erin shares why chasing “smaller” often leaves women exhausted and discouraged, while pursuing stronger reshapes not only the body, but confidence, boundaries, and purpose. We talk about how strength — physically and emotionally — becomes the foundation for how a woman shows up in her faith, family, work, and calling.

You’ll hear:

What's missing from approaches to weight loss and WHY midlife women need new strategies 

The myths behind strength training and the truth about "getting bulky"

Why so many women aren’t struggling from lack of discipline (but what is actually holding them back)

The key factors to being your healthiest version of you in this season of life

Erin shares a number of powerful takeaways that will help you reframe midlife health and step into it with strength--spirit, soul and body!

She also shares about her Strong Start program, a 30-day strength training experience designed to help midlife women build strength, confidence, and momentum.

If you’re a midlife Christian woman who is ready to stop shrinking and start strengthening — this conversation is for you.

Tune in and get ready to rethink what it means to be strong in this season.

And be sure to follow Erin on social media and visit her website to learn more about her coaching and programs:

Here’s the truth:

God is always moving.
Favor is always flowing.
Provision is always present.

This week’s MOVE Monday — More of Victory Everyday — is a brain training--to look for good things.

It’s a little holy habit I’m calling: **The Winning Streak--** I invite you to look for glimpses of God’s goodness woven through our day.

Little wins.

Tiny blessings.

Unexpected favor.

They are reminders from God straight to you: it’s the message: “You are seen, you are loved, you are provided for.”

So no more chasing wins.
It's time to begin witnessing them.

More of Victory. Every day.

Train your eyes to see His goodness, you’ll realize it’s been surrounding you all along.

Dominion is in your DNA. Y O U have the power to move mountains.

Jesus never told us to beg mountains to move — He told us to speak to them. He gave us clear instruction for facing trials, obstacles, and adversity with Kingdom authority.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing my three-part Mountain Moving Protocol — the exact framework I use to identify the obstacle, activate spiritual authority, and take aligned action that sets miracles in motion.

We all face adversity.

Debt. Diagnosis. Delays. Relationship strain.

The question isn’t if you’ll face a mountain — it’s whether you’ll stand before it as a victim… or a daughter with dominion.

If you’re ready to stop circling the mountain and start commanding it to move, this episode is for you.

Press play.

Activate your authority.

And try the protocol for yourself.

“It is what it is…”
“Some people are just dealt bad cards…”
“How could God let such bad things happen?!”

I’m going to be honest — when I hear these phrases, it’s like nails on a chalkboard to me.

These statements reveal something deeper: a victim mindset and a flawed belief system in the essence of God’s true nature.

And today’s MOVE training — More of Victory Every Day — is about reclaiming ground. It’s about taking back what the enemy may have stolen and remembering who you are and the authority you carry as a beloved daughter of the Royal Family!

In today's episode I share 5 practical tools to come running to the battle lines to defeat the enemy (who is already a defeated foe!)

And if you're ready to be strengthened in your faith while also strengthening your mind and body — I want you in 40 Strong.

This is a holistic, spirit-soul-body strength training program beginning this week and continuing for the next 40 days. It’s a beautiful way to observe Lent if that resonates with you — but it’s really about transformation from the inside out.

Until we meet next time, sister… keep on shining. ✨

On today's Shine with Frannie Show, I share a humorous story from my childhood about my crazy family vacation to Washington, DC.

It's late night, we are lost, it begins pouring and my mom is freaking out--I think we can all relate--metaphorically. It's actually a great visual for how we sometimes feel in life.

When we feel lost, lonely, afraid, anxious or stressed--we need to block the outside voices and tune in to hear the voice of God.

I share three practical tools to spiritually connect with God and get in tune with the Holy Spirit.

I pray this blesses you!

If you feel stuck in life, want to hear the voice of God more clearly, or want to have a deeper connection with the Holy

Spirit, DM me CLARITY over on Instagram. I'd love

to see how I can support you on your journey!

Also, I'd love if you'd leave a review and a rating! That helps get the word out and reach others for the Kingdom!

Until next time, keep on shining!

Today I share a new perspective on a familiar Christian anthem — Carrie Underwood’s “Jesus Take the Wheel” — this is a fresh, Kingdom-centered perspective that may surprise you.

“Jesus taking the wheel” isn’t actually how God relates to us. God doesn’t want to hijack our lives or override our free will — He invites partnership, not passivity.

Imagine your life as a car journey:

God is not interested in forcefully kicking you out of the driver’s seat.

He is a gentle, loving Father who waits to be invited into the car.

Once invited, He becomes the wisest, most trustworthy co-pilot — speaking, guiding, and directing your path.

As Proverbs 3:6 (EASY) reminds us:

“Whatever you are doing, remember that the Lord is with you. Then he will show you the right way to go.”

This is the posture of a yielded life — not a surrendered steering wheel, but an open heart that listens, responds, and obeys.

Sis, connect with God’s guidance to a GPS system:

When we make a wrong turn, the GPS doesn’t shame us or shut down.

It simply reroutes us.

In the same way, God doesn’t condemn — He gently, calmly, and lovingly redirects.

Isaiah 55 reminds us that God’s thoughts and ways are higher than ours — which is why we need His voice to help us navigate life’s roads.

God gave you free will on purpose.

He wants you to choose Him, not be forced.

His goal isn’t control — it’s companionship and guidance.

Learning to hear His voice clearly is the key to staying on the path He has marked out for you.

God is not harsh or pushy — He is a gentle Father enjoying the ride with His beloved daughter.

God is not as a demanding taskmaster, but a loving Daddy on a peaceful Sunday drive — present, attentive, and delighting in you.

If you want to grow in your ability to hear God’s voice more clearly, yield to His loving direction, and truly enjoy the ride of your life with Him in the passenger seat — DM me on Instagram for information about coaching opportunities. Click here

The 40 day journey begins next week and I would love to sojourn with you!

I’m here to help you grow in wisdom and flow in the power of the Holy Spirit so you can live an abundant life and prosper in every way. 💛

I worked at Disney at one of my first side hustles when I was a teacher.

All over the Disney properties, there are hidden doors, secret hallways, and restricted areas —places only cast members could access. And did you know that The Magic Kingdom has an entire underground world—for real--complete with a bank, post office, restaurants, and shops—all available exclusively to cast members.

And recently, it clicked. Kingdom Revelation!

When I relaunched my business in the fall, I shared that I help Christians “build a business and the Kingdom.” But God gently corrected me and led me to deeper study of The Kingdom.

Girl, The Kingdom is already built.
It’s not something we construct—it’s something we discover.

As a beloved daughter, YOU have access to the special hidden places of God's Kingdom. It's in you and among you!

Jesus said in Luke 17:21 "They can’t say, ‘Here it is!’ or ‘There it is!’ You see, the kingdom of God is within you.”

The Kingdom is here.The Kingdom is now.

The Kingdom is YOU!

It is up to us to discover it. 

Welcome to Kingdom living, sis.

Decree for 2026

.I decree that 2026 is a year of divine alignment, acceleration, and visible victory in Jesus’ name.

I decree health in my body, clarity in my mind, peace in my soul, and strength in my spirit.

Every system in my body comes into order with the Word of God. I walk in divine health, supernatural energy, and sustained vitality.

I decree breakthrough over every area that was delayed, resisted, or blocked in previous seasons. What was stuck is now moving.

What was restrained is now released.

What was hidden is now revealed.

I decree prosperity with purpose.

Increase flows to me, through me, and for me so the Kingdom of God is advanced, families are blessed, and needs are met without strain or fear.

I will not chase provision.

Provision will pursue me.I decree fresh revelation, spiritual clarity, and prophetic insight.

My ears are open.

My heart is sensitive.

My spirit is tuned to the voice of the Lord.

I will not be confused, distracted, or deceived. I walk in truth, wisdom, and discernment.

I decree fresh oil and renewed anointing. I am not running on yesterday’s grace.

I receive new strength, new fire, new hunger, and new authority for this new season.

I decree restoration of what was lost, stolen, delayed, or damaged.

Time is redeemed. Joy is restored. Peace is returned.

Relationships are healed. Hope is revived.I decree open doors no man can shut, divine connections, divine timing, and divine favor.

I walk into rooms God prepared before I arrived.

I stand in opportunities that only Heaven could arrange.I decree that I am fruitful, effective, and unstoppable in Christ.

I do not merely survive 2026. I thrive.

I do not shrink back. I advance.

I do not settle. I build.

I decree that the goodness of the Lord overtakes me, the blessing of the Lord surrounds me, and the purposes of God are fulfilled through me.

This is my year of breakthrough, blessing, revelation, restoration, and harvest.

I receive it.

I walk in it.

I build with it.

I testify of it

.In Jesus’ mighty name, amen.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Marie Lasron Bursch, a Christian practitioner who specializes in brainspotting—a powerful, body-based therapeutic approach that helps access and heal trauma stored deep in the nervous system.

If you’ve ever felt like you know the truth in your head but your body and emotions won’t catch up, this conversation is for you.

Together, we explore:

What brainspotting actually is and how you can use it to unlock trauma

How brainspotting differs from EMDR, talk therapy, and traditional counseling, and why it can be so effective when words fall short

The connection between trauma, the body, and the brain, and how brainspotting helps release emotional patterns that have been “stuck” for years

Integrating faith and neuroscience—how prayer, the Holy Spirit, and biblical truth work beautifully alongside brainspotting for deeper emotional and spiritual healing

This episode is especially powerful for believers who desire freedom not just intellectually, but somatically—in their bodies, emotions, and spirit. Healing is not only possible… it’s available.

What is the first attribute you think of when I say, "God"? 

Well, for most it is NOT the word "FUN" but guess what?

If we love to laugh, play and have fun, ANNNNDDD we are made in Our Daddy's image, why wouldn't He be fun, too!?!? 

That is the focus of my 31-Day Devotional: Holy & Hilarious! 

You see, back in August, I was not in a good place. Truly, it was a dark time, and it scared me. 

And it was in that place of despair, I remembered something powerful: the happiest book in the Bible—Philippians—was written by Paul while he was in prison. Yep. You heard that correctly. 

That truth changed everything for me. You see, from dark places and hard seasons, light still shines. In fact, it’s often through the cracks that God’s light radiates the brightest. 

So during this season, I decided to focus my hurt into healing--and we all know that laughter is good for the soul, so i took my talent of writing, paired it with my gift of making others laugh through funny memes on my social media handles, and typed an entry a day! 

Today I share an excerpt from the book that I think will give you a little chuckle, and lighten up your day, too!

A group of high-achievers was asked, “What is your dream?"

& "What's holding you back from going after it?”

The dreams varied—but the blocks were predictable:time, money, resources.

So the study did something radical—it removed every obstacle.

All the conditions were met.

Inside today's episode, I share what happened & how to not make the same mistake these high-achievers made!

If you're ready to step into the fullness of what God has destined for you, know how to discern His voice clearly, and have a roadmap for your assignment in this season, join us for the Identity Experience. We unpack all of this including prophetic insights, personal activations and more to support you on your journey to Becoming Yourself.

Habits, goals, & discipline won't change you--just look at Oprah--she had the most expensive, knowledgable personal trainer and private chef, yet she regained her weight time and time again!

As we set the stage for a new year, we unpack how to sustain life-long transformation. It requires something beyond a gym membership, personal trainer, healthier foods and some new supplements. It involves honesty, transparency, and vulnerability. It involves an invitation to invite God into the places you are afraid to go, but are essential to achieve your destiny.

This season calls for an identity upgrade—an alignment with heaven and co-partnership with the Holy Spirit to discover the real you waiting to emerge from the cocoon. It's 2026 and God is calling His daughters to a new level of living. Are you ready for it? If so, I want to sojourn with you for the next 5 weeks in the  The Identity Experience, a 40-day journey beginning Thursday, 1/8/26, to root your identity in truth, break stuck patterns, and step into favor, flow, and your God-given assignment.

Click the link below to learn more and register. 1:1 sessions are happening this week.

Your destiny depends on your identity!

https://mailchi.mp/1dbef23584bf/the-identity-experience

You’ve tried to change, and you’ve had hope that --"this is the program that will finally do the trick." 

You've made resolutions, started new routines and even hired coaches and trainers to help along the way. 

But today is an invitation sent directly from heaven. 

Our Abba is inviting you to change with Him this time.

You see, God is all about the process of becoming. We come into this world brand spanking new and begin the journey of becoming with our very first breath. 

Today's episode, God invites you join Him on the journey of becoming who He made you to be.

And if you know God is calling you higher…
If there are old patterns no longer fit…
If you’re ready to stop circling the same mountains and break through glass ceilings…

✨ The Identity Experience is for you.

This 40-day journey is where we do the deep work:
• End cycles that keep you stuck
• Release identities that no longer serve you
• Align with who God designed you to be

2025 didn’t break me — it built me.

Rejection from 100+ jobs.
A relationship that crashed and burned.
A cross-country move to start over.

Painful? Yes.
Pointless? Not even close.

This was the year God stripped away what wasn’t meant for my next chapter — what didn’t belong in my destiny. Refinement looks a lot like loss… until you realize it was actually preparation.

And 2026?
It won’t even recognize the version of me that’s on the way.

If you know God is calling you higher…
If old patterns no longer fit…
If you’re ready to stop circling the same mountains and break through glass ceilings…

✨ The Identity Experience is for you.

This 40-day journey is where we do the deep work:

The two key words that can keep you on track with your health goals through the holidays (especially when the cookies and casseroles start calling 👀)

The surprising inflammation ingredient you’d never expect (hint: it’s NOT sugar… though yes, sugar plays its role too)

3 faith-based wellness practices you can start today—no supplements, no fancy tools, no extra spending

How spirit-led stewardship of your body can strengthen your immune system

A holistic, Kingdom-centered approach to staying well this winter—spirit, soul, and body

Hey gorgeous girl—today’s conversation is one that is essential, not just around Thanksgiving, but for a lifestyle!
I’m sitting down with my friend, Virginia Wear Kujabi—an international speaker, author, and host of The Formed Life podcast. We unpack what it really means to live a life of gratitude, and live life beyond a transaction--"I do this for you, and You do this for me, God!"
Virginia shares how her journey with gratitude began with a friend highlighting--"I don't see any gratitude in your life." Gosh! Don't we all need those kinds of friends!?!
Through that wake-up call, she discovered gratitude as a spiritual practice, not just a feeling. She walks us through how giving thanks, before seeing the outcome, opens our eyes to God’s fingerprints all over our lives. (For more on that, read Hebrews 11:6)
Virginia shares how gratitude has become a way life and a means of intimacy with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit!
This episode offers practical insights and tactics to try as you seek to add more gratitude to your life beginning today!
💛 Share this episode with anyone who needs a little more gratitude in their lives--which is most likely everyone you know! And go check out Virginia on IG @vwear, find her podcast The Formed Life, and pick up a copy of her book, In Everything Give Thanks! (links below!)

In today’s episode, I sit down with grief coach and founder of Grace for Living After Loss, Kelli Nielsen — a woman who has walked through unthinkable heartbreak and still radiates hope.
Kelli lost her mother to suicide shortly after leading her to Christ…
Then months later, her teenage son died from an accidental overdose.
She knows the depths of grief — and the path to rebuilding a life filled with purpose, joy, and peace.
Kelli shares:
🕊 Her mission to flip the outdated grief narrative on its head debunk the idea that, "You will never get over losing someone."
🧠 What happens in your brain during grief — and how you can you retrain it to move from survival to restoration
🎄 Why the holidays trigger hidden pockets of grief — and Kelli’s simple, science-backed, faith-rooted strategies to walk through this season with grace
Through a powerful blend of faith principles and neuroscience, Kelli teaches practical, grounded tools for navigating grief — especially during the emotionally charged holiday season.

More about Kelli:

Kelli Nielsen is a grief recovery coach, speaker, and neuroscience expert who believes healing isn’t random — it’s strategic.
After losing her mother to suicide and her son to an overdose, Kelli refused to accept the belief that grief lasts forever. She combined faith and brain science to create The Grief Relief Process, a proven framework that rewires the mind for peace, purpose, and joy.
Kelli is on a mission to flip the outdated grief narrative on its head and show the world that the same brain that holds pain also holds the power to heal.

This summer, I hit a breaking point. Seriously, my friends wanted to admit me for professional help.

After my most recent breakup, I was on the verge of a breakdown. Not because a man had that much power over me —but because of what his leaving exposed within me.

The breakup wasn’t the cause of my pain;
it was the catalyst that cracked open the deep places of my heart —places where old wounds and patterns had been hiding for years.

So today, I’m sharing something deeply personal.
This isn’t for him, although it's addressed to him.
This is for the woman listening right now who knows that kind of ache — the anxious heart that just wants answers, the love that feels unfinished, the pain that God promises to redeem.

And this is not just for singles--I know married women who need this healing. 

If you’ve ever loved an avoidant,
if you’ve ever been ghosted,
if you’ve ever been left wondering what went wrong,
I pray this episode brings you comfort and clarity.

Because sometimes… God uses heartbreak to bring healing.

How do you manage life's disappointments? Hopefully better than I did.

In one of my darkest seasons, I resorted to blaming God for my mistakes. I wandered off course and like the prodigal child, I squandered what was my inheritance.

Then one day I heard a voice inside me said, "Go home."

It was a command to go home to Abba Daddy. 

I knew that life wasn’t supposed to be this way. 

I felt completely hopeless. Angry. Disappointed. I truly believed God had abandoned my prayers.

This was a tough pill to swallow, because I used to be Miss positivity, and I had a crystal-clear vision for my future—and pie-in-the-sky dreams and bold faith to believe that they would all come true. 

But fast forward nearly a decade later… and nothing looked the way I thought it would.

The fire fizzled. 

The hope faded. 

The faith? Well, I felt like I was just going through the motions.

I would complete my daily "spiritual checklist." 

And without clarity and faith to believe, I wandered off course. 

I tried so many different things—side hustle and  business ideas—thinking, “This is it! This will be the one!”

But deep down… nothing fit.

It felt like David trying to wear Saul’s armor to fight Goliath—uncomfortable, heavy, and completely wrong for the battle I was meant to fight.

I tried network marketing—2 different companies. 

Affiliate marketing—2 different companies. 

I was approved as an Amazon influencer. 

I invested in and shared digital marketing. 

And then, as I mentioned small odds & ends jobs and even drove DoorDash. 

Ms. Shine with Frannie was now delivering tacos instead of testimonies.

To say I was humbled is an understatement. 

I couldn’t help but think, “Lord, where are you?! How did I end up here? This is not who You called me to be!”

But here’s the good news: God never left my side. 

In that dark and disappointing season, He spoke to me so gently:

“I know you’re hurting and it feels like I’ve left you… but remember, no one shouts when they’re standing right next to you.” 

Sis, that Truth changed everything.

And I pray it is a word in season for you, too.

I realized God was faithful and just like His word said, "He would never leave me nor forsake me." 

He was closer than ever—quietly guiding me, refining me, and reminding me who I really am.

Through that process, I didn’t just find direction—I found my identity.

And now, I’m on a mission to help others do the same.

God wants to take all of your unique gifts, talents, and life experiences and partner with you to fulfill your purpose, calling, and assignment.

Here’s what I’ve learned:
 Your purpose is why you were created.
 Your calling is the unique way you fulfill that purpose.
 Your assignment is how you’re walking that out in this season. (And yes, it changes—just like nature's seasons do!)

So, sister, if you’ve been in a season where you’ve felt hopeless, disappointed, or even angry with God—if you’ve questioned your dreams, your direction, or your worth—please know this:

 God's got you. Remember—no one shouts when they’re standing right next to you.
 If you’ve been nodding your head while you've listening to this, it’s because this message is for you.This is your sign to join me for my free mini-masterclass:

I pray that as you listen to this message, you glean wisdom from:

Take time to reflect:

I pray this episode blesses you, dear one. 

Until we meet next time, keep Shining! 

I am curious: when do you take down your Christmas decorations?

So often the spirit of generosity and Christmas giving and living seem to fade when we take the tree, lights and angels down and store them again until next year. 

In today's episode, I invite you to dive into Isaiah 9 again and see how you can call upon The Name above every other name and add light to the darkness that might be upon your life's circumstances. 

This summer I had the privilege of meeting an amazing woman and fellow sister-in-Christ at a healing ministry school in Georgia.

Rebekah Tart Wiens is a wife, mama, and former RN with a remarkable healing testimony from a near-death brain aneurysm. While she realizes Jehovah Rapha is the Ultimate Healer, she has implemented a number of healthy lifestyle practices into her daily life, including a wonderful supplement that has helped her heal and maintain exceptional health from the inside out! 

 Tune in to today's episode for faith-based inspiration and hope for your own health journey and insight as to the practices Rebekah implements to live fully, just as God intended! 3 John 2 & John 10:10 

While the themes of Advent are peace, hope, love and joy, sometimes it is difficult to feel or experience them in the busyness of life and the many happenings of this world!
But the prophet Amos has a divine Word that reminds us of the hope that is on its way on Christmas day! As believers, we can experience HOPE through the coming of Jesus--God made flesh, Emmanuel!

Tune in to today's show for a spontaneous download of what God has spoken to me from Amos 9:11-15 MSG:

Let's decree and declare, God is going to SUDDENLY do it!

“But also on that Judgment Day I will restore David’s house that has fallen to pieces. I’ll repair the holes in the roof, replace the broken windows, fix it up like new. David’s people will be strong again and seize what’s left of enemy Edom, plus everyone else under my sovereign judgment.” God’s Decree. He will do this.

13-15 “Yes indeed, it won’t be long now.” God’s Decree.

“Things are going to happen so fast your head will swim, one thing fast on the heels of the other. You won’t be able to keep up. Everything will be happening at once—and everywhere you look, blessings! Blessings like wine pouring off the mountains and hills. I’ll make everything right again for my people Israel:

“They’ll rebuild their ruined cities.
They’ll plant vineyards and drink good wine.
They’ll work their gardens and eat fresh vegetables.
And I’ll plant them, plant them on their own land.
They’ll never again be uprooted from the land I’ve given them.”

God, your God, says so.

In today's episode, I chat it up with fellow podcaster and sister-in-Christ, Lindsey Hanlon.

Lindsey and I dive into a number of topics to inspire you as you end 2022 and get ready to launch into 2023! 

We chat it up about a number of timely topics including:

Tune in today's episode for more on these topics + a wealth of other tips to help you set a successful stage for the new year and beyond! 

The holidays bring lots of social gatherings, which can sometimes be awkward or uncomfortable. Today I share three tips  for memorable conversations & meaningful connections with everyone--from casual acquaintances to long-time family and friends!

What a treat it was to have one of my favorite people on the show today! 

Viral video star and social media celebrity, Britney Crosson, joins us and shares how her childhood dreams of becoming an actress have been fulfilled, but they look completely differently than she ever imagined!

Britney is founder and owner of FunLoveMedia and these two words describe her perfectly! Our conversation is candid, personal and fun, but also very practical, as she shares tips about how:

Britney has been a performer since childhood with a total of 35+ years experience on stage and screen. She naturally fell in love with social media back in the MySpace days because it felt like one big stage!  Not only does she prioritize spreading joy to her audience through her dancing and comedy videos, but she’s also passionate about using social media for good.  Britney openly shares about her own professional and personal journey and encourages others that want to make a change in the world to also tell their stories.  With over 15 million views and counting, she’s positively impacting lives all over the world through her videos. 

When Britney’s not working hard on her businesses, you can find her having a dance party with her two kiddos or cuddled up on the couch with wine and her husband watching their favorite tv shows.

As we round the bases for the end of '22 and embark upon '23, I invite you to tune in to today's message and reconsider your personal hopes and dreams then take the limits off of God and expectations off of yourself and step into new and exciting things in the new year and beyond!

Winter is on its way, and with the colder temperatures, some might even say cold & flu season is here, too! But I know that God desires for you to be in health and the last time I checked, of the seasons Solomon mentions in Ecclesiastes, cold & flu season is not one of the times  that God has designed in His appointed times.

In today's episode I share scripture and ways that this practice can support your health to stave off any sickness or disease this season or any time of year. I invite you to implement taking communion into your normal healthy practices starting today! 

While we are ultimately citizens of heaven, God calls us to steward our civic duty here on earth and vote with Kingdom values in mind.

Terri is an author, speaker, executive-level leader with a wide range of experience in government affairs, and former congressional candidate. You can learn more about Terri and order her book at www.godovergovernment.com

Also, I encourage you to take some time this weekend before heading to the polls next week to do some research on the platforms and policies of the people that are running in your areas/respective states before Tuesday. YOUR VOTE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

This packed a powerful punch and got my wheels turning!

This summer, I went through an unexpected break up with a guy that I thought I was going to marry. It stirred a number of emotions--mainly confusion toward him and anger toward God. 

Currently am in the process of healing my bitter and broken heart, which is birthed from disappointment. This can occur when someone, including God, fails you, disappoints you, hurts you or offends you. Check and check. I'm out, Coach. I don't want to play in the game of love anymore!

While fast food might be convenient, cheap and taste good, the real cost of eating it never appears on the menu! The ingredients are not always the highest quality, the expense takes a toll on your wallet, and the fast-paced, on-the-go consumption doesn't allow you to enjoy your meal or your body to process it completely to optimize your health. Similarly, the "fast-food-soul-food" we eat is not always the most nourishing for our souls. Now, don't get me wrong a good devo, Bible-based app, or drive-time worship session is all good for you, it is not the only diet we should be eating to fortify our souls. 

In today's podcast, I share some tips to help you rethink and reconsider fast-food-drive-thrus, both for your body and your soul!

Over the last year, the Holy Spirit has been teaching me a lot about what it means to live life from a place of rest. In today's episode, I share a 30,000ft. view of this essential biblical concept and some pearls of wisdom so that you might also have a perspective shift in living and operating from REST!

To fight off the enemy's fiery darts, we need to utilize our heaven-sent weapons. In this series, I'm sharing what I believe to be God-inspired weapons to help us grow in our faith and walk in victory.

In today's episode we explore the importance of sistering, not only as an architectural term, but as a powerful tool. 

While the Bible has numerous examples of the importance of community, today we look to Jesus' mother, Mary. In Luke 1:39 we read that after Mary received the news she was pregnant with The Messiah, "...she got ready and hurried to the hill country of Judea to stay with her cousin Elizabeth." 

Tune in today to learn the 3 ways that Elizabeth and Mary's relationship models for us the importance of sisters and how we can implement these same characteristics in our own heaven-sent-sister-circles. 

Despite hating things in masks, I love Cirque de Soliel shows. I love the acrobatics, the musical score, the animation and effects--and I especially enjoy walking into the dimly lit theater as I observe the set and the character that "warms up" the crowd before the show actually begins. These elements set the stage for the anticipation of the actual show!

Similarly, when we worship God, we get to experience His power, His sovereignty, His provision, His holiness and so much more as we enter into the presence of the Holy Spirit with shouts of praise and thanksgiving.

But this is not always easy, and there are times and seasons in life where we might be struggling to praise God and offer shouts of thanksgiving. Since we know music can evoke powerful emotions in our souls, sometimes we want to "turn off" the emotion that draws us closer to God and stay in to the cave of confusion or den of despair. 

But during a Holy Spirit moment, I was convicted that if I chose to "fight like hell" to overcome this season by wondering, worrying, and wallowing, I was only playing into the enemy's schemes. As the accuser, satan wants me to stay stuck and "lay by the pool" for years and years--but thankfully Jesus appears on the scene and asks the invalid--"Do you want to get well?" It's a choice! It's a decision. We can fight like heaven and stop making excuses and take action or we can continue to lay by the side of the pool. 

Which will you choose?

Tune in to today's show for tools to Fight like heaven Part I: Replace worrying, wondering, and wallowing with WORSHIP

Over the last few weeks, I've endured much hopelessness. But as we are called to do, I turned to The Bible for strength and support. 

I camped out in caves with David through the Psalms.
I cried through Ruth while she faithfully gleaned in the fields.
I wept with Jeremiah for what broke God's heart in Lamentations.

And it was here while in Lamentations 3, I saw the shift, and experienced it for myself: Lam 3:21--"Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope." 

Instead of wallowing in hopelessness and rereading every text message, card, or email or listening to every voicemail from the last few months, (which I did for the 1st several days) I chose to call to mind God's faithfulness, strength, love, mercy, and more! I am choosing rather than sitting with the enemy in defeat to surrender to The Lord in victory and trust Him to make me more like Jesus through this season of heartache--after all, nothing is ever wasted in God's Kingdom!

I pray this blesses you, dear one. If so, please pass it to a friend who might need a word of encouragement too.

And if this ministered to your spirit, I'd love to hear how! Email me at shinewithfrannie.com 

Finally, if you are returning listener and have yet to leave a review, I'd love to have you share a rating and write a review! Visit iTunes and share away!

In many seasons of life, I avoided attending parties because I didn't have enough willpower to withstand the dessert table.

I would often RSVP "NO" because I knew that I would say "YES" to cake, cookies, brownies, and even jello pretzel salads! (How did someone even concoct that recipe anyway?)Why?! Because they were there!

I haven't posted a podcast in a while, but I felt led to share some insights on making memories this Memorial Day weekend (and into the summer) rather than continuing the "mangia-all-you-want-mania!" (Mangia=eat in Italian! More about that in the episode.)

I am challenging you to join in the following: 

1. Read one of the books of the New Testament Pentateuch; dive into ONE of the 1st five books of the NT Matt, Mark, Luke, John or Acts. The bonus component of this is to read it as if you didn't know Jesus.

I am in a new season of life--one of growth and discovery, and as we round the bases on this month's theme of resurrection power, I am inviting you on a journey of discovering what it means to truly enter rest and live a spirit-led lifestyle from rest instead of constant striving, working, and doing. 

Jesus' death, resurrection and position at God's right hand gives us the power and authority to operate from rest instead of striving for it. While life isn't easy, Jesus' yoke is! Will you join me on this journey, sweet sister? If so, message me on Instagram or Facebook or email me at frannie@shinewithfrannie.com

While this growth spurt might give us some stretch marks, these are the kind we want to acquire as we step out and trust God in new ways!

Let's grow together in this new season, sister.

To Him be ALL the glory! 

Y'all know I'm gainfully single at 46, and my love life needed a little resurrection power, as I pretty much swore off dating as a means of protecting myself (you see, if you don't put yourself out there to date, you don't get rejected!)

But when I spontaneously decided to attend to a Christian singles' dating conference in February 2022, I was sparked with curiosity to try this dating thing again!

Founder of Heart of Dating, and hostess of the Heart of Dating Singles' Conference, Kait Warman joins me on today's episode and shares some godly wisdom and practical tips to help singletons--whether single or single again--steward their season of singlehood as they approach dating in new ways. (And, sister, I've learned dating can be FUN!)

Tune in for some honest and vulnerable truth bombs from Kait and learn more about her book, Thank You for Rejecting Me! This is a MUST READ for anyone who's ever felt rejected, which is um...ALL of us at some point in our lives.  (hello, kickball team selection!)

Kait has restored my hope that indeed there are "good, godly guys" out there and has helped me get back in the saddle of dating (more to come on that soon, sisters!)

Kait is darling in every way, and you'll want to be her forever friend.

Have you ever been quieted by the voice that says, "Your story doesn't matter..." or "They are going to judge you..."?  The enemy does not want you to share your story with others as sharing how God has redeemed you gives glory, power and fame to Him! But I want to encourage you--IT'S TIME for you to share your story!

In today's episode, I share a 30,000 ft. view of the many ways God has redeemed my past. I am not saying I've "arrived" as we know we are works in process, but I share to give you hope that God is a God of restoration, redemption and miracles. And you know what? God is all about multiplication, so if He can do it for me, He can do it for you! He will multiply blessings and as you share your story and glorify Him through it all. 

Sharing your story is a place of freedom because it no longer gives the enemy power or control--you live FREELY! This is how we are called to live! If you're ready to end toxic patterns, unhealthy mindsets, and negative cycles of self-sabotage, I invite you to attend the Freedom Experience in Florida May 12-15, 2022

The Freedom Experience is a journey of adventure & discovery of some of the dark places and hidden spaces that new need illuminated with God‘s love.💓

After I lost the first 70lbs., my weight plateaued and as a result, I stopped having regular bowel movements. When the doctor told me that I would "just have to learn to adjust" to pooping only 2-3x a week, (yep, a week!) I began trying everything under the sun--Metamucil, Miralax, psyllium husk, cleanses, detoxes, even colonics and enemas. But over the years and most recently in the last 2ish years, I've learned that there are other key contributing factors to my lack of regularity.

In today's episode, I talk with my sweet sister Lori Snyder about the soul component to natural bowel movements and the importance of "releasing" the "weight" that we carry that junk up our pipes. Also, Lori shares her personal journey of overcoming PCOS and IBS and her journey to wholeness from the inside out. 

Finally, Lori and I share about the natural supplements that we began using over the last few months that have helped restore and balance our gut health and keep us movin' & groovin'.

We pray this blesses you and helps you find freedom (and regularity, too!) 

To learn more about the natural supplements Lori and I are taking, message me at frannie@shinewithfrannie.com

After nearly 30 years of smoking cigarettes and living a life as a "wild child," Michelle Wittereid finally heeded the voice of The Holy Spirit and decided to quit smoking one day. Little did she know, she was in for quite the surprise!

In today's episode Michelle shares the story of the 4-fold-miracle that accompanied her smoking cessation---it is a true BREAKTHROUGH STORY you won't want to miss! If you are struggling with smoking or perhaps another addiction, I pray this story might be the inspiration you need to be set free.

While today might be St. Patrick's Day, as believers, we don't believe in luck (which is actually derived from Lucifer) rather, we believe in God and the victorious power that we've inherited through Jesus' death and resurrection.

Today we do a 30,000ft overview into the biblical significance of the #17 as it represents VICTORY! 

God is in the details and in today's episode we skip from Genesis to Revelation and camp out in Romans 8 where we are reminded that nothing-that's NO THING--can separate us from Christ's love!

If you're looking to experience breakthrough of a particular stronghold, fasting is a 9-1-1 call to God! 

Fasting is mentioned in both the Old & New Testaments (Isaiah 58 is the most comprehensive record of fasting!) and is a powerful practice to implement not out of obligation, but out of desire to hear God more clearly and experience His presence more fully. 

I invite you to join in the 3-day-Esther fast next week, and to participate in our upcoming LIVE Webinar, So Long, Self-Sabotage! Hello, Breakthrough! on Monday, March 21 @ 730PM EST.
