S6 Ep8 Beyond the Mom: Rediscovering Yourself After Motherhood

Welcome back to the Branded by God Podcast! In this episode, we're coming to you live from the Poconos at the Words to Wealth book-writing retreat, where I sat down with my auntie-sister Tonya Blandford — founder of Queendom Quotes 2.0 and soon-to-be author of a book built around one powerful idea: you are more than mom. Tonya shares her journey as a single mother who raised three children, pursued her own education, and is now stepping into a new season of life. Whether you are deep in motherhood, preparing for an empty nest, or already wondering what comes next, this conversation will remind you that there is still purpose, joy, and possibility waiting for you. Through her upcoming book and community, Beyond the Mom, she encourages women to remember that motherhood is a beautiful part of who they are, but it is not the only part. 🎧 Press play and let this one minister to you.

Y'all, this one is FUN and full of fire! 🔥 In this episode, Brittnee sits down with her sister friend, Noelle Jeffries — a 26-year-old entrepreneur, minister of the Gospel, mom-to-be, and wife-to-be, and member of the Branded and Called cohort who is learning what it means to fully embrace the life God has placed in front of her.

S6 E4 The Power of Praying, Purpose-Driven Friendships

Welcome back to the Branded by God Podcast, y'all! Today's guest is somebody I've been waiting to bring back for a minute — Charlene, better known as Charlie B of the Charlie B Podcast. We go back to the day I first sat with her and helped her find her voice — and now she's almost 75 episodes deep into her own show. In this episode, we get into a real, practical conversation about friendship — the kind of friends who are only comfortable when you're comfortable and the friends who talk you out of what God gave you. Charlie B shares how her sisters taught her what true friendship looks like, why she had to go through her own friend clean-up, and how purpose-driven and praying friends have carried her through some of her hardest seasons. If you've been wondering whether your circle is helping or hurting your purpose — sis, this episode is for you. 🎧 Press play and let this one minister to you and your friendships. Loved this episode? Comment and tell me what part hit home, share it with a friend who's real with you, and go follow Charlie B and the Charlie B Podcast to catch more of her story.

S6 E3 Covered, Not Controlled: A Real Conversation on Marriage

Welcome back to the Branded by God Podcast! It's the Summer of MMMM, and this week Brittnee is joined by the man behind the operation: her husband, Wallace AWALL Smith Jr. Because doing all the things well requires a strong support system, Brittnee and Wallace sit down for an honest, unscripted conversation about what it really takes to build a marriage, a family, and a kingdom brand at the same time. They talk through the early "potential" days of their relationship, the hard seasons that almost broke their teamwork, and the shift from control to covering that changed everything. If you're a woman wearing all the hats — wife, mother, minister, entrepreneur — this episode is a reminder that you weren't made to carry it alone.🎧 Press play and let this one minister to you!

S6 E2 Permission Slip — Reflect, Process & Adjust

Hey sis — today I'm not coming with a five-step framework or a productivity strategy. I'm coming with something simpler: a permission slip. Permission to stop. To look back. To feel what you actually feel about where you've been. To process it honestly. And then — and only then — to adjust. We're in the middle of summer. The year is more than half over. And before we sprint into the next season, I think we owe it to ourselves to pause and ask: how am I actually doing? In this episode I reframe reflection as reconnaissance, share a scripture from Lamentations that hit me differently, and give you three questions that will do more for your clarity than any content calendar or goal-setting session. You have permission, sis. Come listen. Connect with Brittnee: • Website: www.brittneesmithcreative.com/ • Instagram: www.instagram.com/brittneensmith • Email: info@brittneesmith.com TAKEAWAY CHALLENGE Carve out 30 minutes this week — just you, a journal, and honesty. Answer the three questions: 1. What actually happened last season? (No spin.) 2. How do I actually feel about it? (Name it.) 3. What do I want to be different? (One or two things only.) Then pray: "God, show me what this season was meant to teach me — and what I need to release before I move forward."

S6 E1 I Lied (Kind Of) — The Power of Margin

Hey sis — welcome back to the Branded by God Podcast. Before we get into the Summer of MMMM, I owe you the truth. I told y'all this season was dropping June 22nd. It didn't. And instead of brushing past it, I'm stopping right here to own it — because that's what we do here. In this episode, I break down what actually happened, why I underestimated the season I was in, and how not having margin cost me a commitment to myself and to you. We're adding a sixth M to the summer: MARGIN. And I walk you through what margin actually looks like using a full acronym — practical, real, and a little funny. This is the episode I needed to record. I think you need to hear it too.

S2 E5: Walking in Freedom as a Christian Woman in Business

In this powerful episode of the Branded by God Podcast , Brittne sits down with Renea Linsom, blogger, SEO writer, and founder of Freedom Heirs, for a real and honest conversation about freedom in faith, business, and life. They talked about what it means to break free from fear, public opinion, and limiting beliefs so you can fully step into the calling God has placed on your life. From learning to say “no” with confidence, to charging your worth in business, to trusting God enough to move when He tells you to move—this episode will challenge you to examine the areas where you may be busy… but not truly free. What does true freedom really look like for Christian women in business? Is it simply having options… or is it something deeper? If you're a Christian woman building a business, pursuing your purpose, and learning how to walk boldly in your God-given authority, this conversation is for you. 🎧 Tune in and ask yourself: Are you truly walking in freedom—or just functioning in survival?
