How Grace Liu Helps Women Find Their Voice | 1,525 Grace C.W. Liu helps women reclaim the parts of themselves they were taught to silence. As a Woman's Truth Awakener, speaker, and communication strategist, Grace has dedicated her work to helping women break free from a lifetime of shrinking, pleasing, and second-guessing themselves. After more than twenty years as a speech language pathologist, she recognized that the greatest communication barrier was rarely vocabulary, confidence, or skill. It was the invisible conditioning that taught women to stay agreeable, stay quiet, and stay small. Today, Grace challenges that conditioning. Grace guides women toward a different kind of confidence, one rooted not in performance, but in self trust. The confidence to speak the uncomfortable truth. To set boundaries without guilt. To express needs without apology. To be fully seen without editing themselves to make others comfortable. Her mission is simple but profound: helping wo…

1,471 | Kimberly Stevens on Turning Pain Into Purpose Kimberly J. Stevens is an All-American swimmer, Big Ten record setter, and University of Iowa Athletics Hall of Fame inductee who learned how to win early and endure when it mattered most.

1,261 | How Jason Heinritz Found Freedom in God’s Kingdom I'm Jason Heinritz, I spent the first half of my adult life chasing success. I led one of the top-producing teams in the direct sales world, climbed the ranks, and did all the things that looked impressive on paper. But somewhere along the way, I realized I was building my own kingdom, not God’s. That realization broke me, and it also set me free. Over the last five years, I’ve been on a journey that may look like demotion in the world’s eyes but has been promotion in God’s Kingdom. I went from striving to surrender, from stress to Sabbath, from performance to presence. Along the way, I’ve learned a lot about faith, habits, leadership, and the deep joy that only comes from walking closely with Jesus. I created Wake Up Jesus People to help others do the same—to stop drifting and start living with boldness, peace, and purpose. Through my book, my faith-driven journal, and the 40 Forge Challenge, I equip believers to buil…
