About Episode

In this heartfelt and inspiring episode, I sit down with Lillian Beecroft—a woman whose life is a testament to grace, grit, and godly guidance. With a background that spans politics, ministry, and now entrepreneurship, Lillian opens up about the defining crossroads that shaped her path—and God’s quiet yet powerful voice she chose to follow.

With kindness and clarity, she speaks to anyone who has ever stood at a crossroads—wondering whether to stay the course or take a leap.

This episode will give you permission to trust your gut, honor your faith, and believe that the “yes” inside you might be the start of something life-changing—not just for you, but for the people you’re called to serve.

• How Lillian transitioned from politics and ministry to entrepreneurship with intention and peace
• Why listening to God and your intuition isn’t reckless—it’s wise
• Practical advice for navigating career or relationship pivots
• How to recognize the signs when it’s time to move on or shift directions
