Behind Every Great Man

Most women don’t lose themselves out of neglect. They lose themselves out of love for others. In this episode, we explore why losing yourself is often needed, and why staying lost after the season has passed can quietly disconnect you from joy, desire, and presence. This is a gentle invitation to begin coming back home. Follow us on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/behindeverygreatmanpodcast If...

Behind every great man is a great woman who learned how to carry everything and is now learning to let go. What am I trying to control right now? Who am I trying to control—and why? What fear lives underneath my need to manage everything? What do I believe would happen if I stopped overseeing, fixing, or directing? Where did I learn that vigilance equals safety? Do I ask for help—but then redo thi...

My prayer for you is this: God protect this woman who gives so much of herself that she sometimes forgets where she ends and everyone else begins.  Bless her hands.  Calm her mind.  Protect her heart.  Remind her that she is seen.  She is supported, and she is loved dearly. We honor you.  Learn more about our people: Jessica: Instagram | Website If you enjoyed this episode then please either: Foll...

To the woman who is mom and dad in every moment, the nurturer and the protector. I pray that God watches over you today and always.  Over your home, every room, every corner, every place your child sleeps.  That His protection surrounds you like a blanket.  I pray he places hope back in your chest where exhaustion tried to steal it.  I pray he renews your faith for seasons of rest, ease, support,...

Behind every great man is a great woman who turns toward her partner when life pulls them apart. Ask yourself, where can I reach for my partner again? Where can I soften? Where can I choose connection, even in the busyness? Sister, you know where you can make space.  You know when something can wait.  You know when you can choose a moment with your partner.  Even when it's hard, even when a child...

Behind every great man is a great woman who knows living a soft life is the secret. Life as we know it can feel like a hurricane.  It swirls around us with to-do lists, demands, and the relentless pace of a world that never seems to slow down.  If we move too fast, we get swept up in the chaos. If we move too slow, it feels like the hurricane is overtaking us. But at the center of every hurricane,...

Behind every great man is a great woman whose presence may not be seen, but everyone feels.  I want to speak directly to the woman who isn't sure just how important her role is.  You are anchoring a family. You are shaping the culture.  You are the heartbeat of the home.  You hold power, you hold influence.  You have the ability to sway decisions, shift atmospheres, and move the needle in ways no...

Behind every great man is a great woman who knows Peace begins within her. Think about the upcoming season, the holidays, the travel, the gathering of loved ones.  Picture what's to come. The planning, the prepping, the cooking, the cleaning.  See the faces of family and friends entering your space, or perhaps you're stepping out of your comfort zone to enter theirs. Picture yourself doing your be...

Behind every great man is a great woman who remembers her presence is powerful. When you feel that familiar frustration rise up in you when you can feel your husband is still somewhere else, pause.  Instead of letting resentment creep in, pause.  And bring it back to your breath.  Place your hand gently on your chest.  Feel the rise and fall of your breath. And as you breathe, repeat these words q...

Behind every great man is a great woman who knows her contribution is just as valuable in their partnership.   I want you to ask yourself this question.  "What is one thing I bring to my home that money could never buy?" Maybe it's peace.  Maybe it's consistency or love. Whatever it is, hold that close to you today.  Because that is your contribution.  That is your worth.  That's love in action. L...

Behind every great man is a great woman, standing tall in what she does, and finally calling it enough.  Place your hand on your heart. Take a moment to feel that steady rhythm. This heart pours itself into your family, your home, your people.  Day after day, night after night. Your efforts, your unseen acts, all that you do that isn't confined to the hours of a nine to five job, that is the most...

 Behind every great man is a great woman who knows her own desires, honors her partner's, and keeps curiosity alive.  Bring to mind something that truly excites you. A desire, a turn on, something you're curious about. Bring it to mind and just hold it gently in your awareness without judgment. Now think of your partner. Imagine them coming to you, sharing something so vulnerable, so honest.  They...

Behind every great man is a great woman who celebrates other queens without questioning her own reign. Picture your kingdom. However big, however small. See the people in it, the ones you care for and serve and lead. Hold your head high and feel pride rise up in you for what God has given you, for what you have created, for what you've built, for who you've become.  You are its queen, no matter th...

Behind every great man is a great woman who remembers who she is. I want you to think back for a moment before marriage, before kids, before the full-time role of partner, mother, caretaker. Set those aside for now.  Who were you? What lit you up? What kind of music did you blast in your car with the windows down? What foods did you crave before you had to think about everyone else and what they w...

Behind every great man is a great woman who feels the pull to be home and listens to her heart. I want you to ask yourself: What does my heart keep trying to tell me? What longing has been buried under the noise? When it's just me and God, what do I know to be true? Whatever is coming up for you, let it be what it is.

Behind every great man is a great woman who's doing her internal work. How are you feeling? Truly. Out of the five categories I mentioned, do a quick check in with yourself.  Mentally, have I given myself space to rest from problem solving or constant planning? Emotionally, what have I been holding back from saying or feeling this week? Spiritually, have I created space for stillness, prayer, jour...

Behind every great man is a great woman who inspires him to rise by staying grounded in her essence. Am I allowing my man to lead? Do I trust him to make good decisions even if they are different from mine? Where am I accidentally competing with him instead of collaborating? How do I feel when he takes charge? Safe, anxious, relieved, resistant? Do I encourage him when he steps up? Or do I critiqu...
