The Amplify Your Voice with Dr. Megan Bruiners Podcast

EP11 - Dream With God

What happens when you stop playing small and start dreaming with God? In this inspiring episode of Amplify Your Voice, I’m sitting down with author and business coach Sophia Estrella. Sophia takes us through her journey from a young girl with big dreams to a woman leading impactful movements. We discussed the reality of transitions. How to navigate the messy middle between different seasons of life and business without losing your confidence or your "Yes" to God. We talked about the prophetic instructions she’s followed to build her legacy and why "unmuting" your voice is changing the world through your obedience and not only about speaking. If you are in a season of transition or feeling the nudge to step into a higher level of leadership, this conversation will give you the fire to move forward. Inside this episode, we explore: ✔️The Evolution of a Leader: Sophia’s journey from childhood aspirations to her present-day impact. ✔️Dreaming with God: Why your imagination is a playground for divine strategy. ✔️Transition: Practical lessons on shifting between seasons of life and entrepreneurship. ✔️Breaking the Fear Barrier: Strategies for overcoming the anxiety of being visible. ✔️Prophetic Instructions: How to listen for and execute the "divine downloads" for your specific calling.   Connect with Sophia Instagram: @Amigariseuplv Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sophia.estrella.90 [https://www.facebook.com/sophia.estrella.90] Amiga Rise Up Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/amiga-rise-up/id154123456 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/amiga-rise-up/id154123456]   Connect with me: Facebook: @Megan Jurd-Bruiners LinkedIn: @Dr. Megan Bruiners Website: https://www.meganbruiners.com/ [https://www.meganbruiners.com/] Subscribe to the Kingdom Author Corner on Substack for insightful articles on writing an impactful book and turning your book into a revenue-generating asset: https://drmeganbruiners1.substack.com/ [https://drmeganbruiners1.substack.com/] Register for the Master Your Story.

EP10 - Spiritual Fitness!

What would your life look like, if you could break free from the cycles of emotional eating and self sabotage to living a life of wholeness? In this episode of Amplify Your Voice, I’m joined by Ondrea Lynn, who is sharing how she has walked the path from trauma into a life of faith and wellness. She opens up about her encounter with Jesus and how it made her re-evaluate everything she knew about health. We also discuss Ondrea’s "Spiritual Fitness" framework and why it is the missing link for Christian women who are tired of the world’s weight loss wisdom. If you’re tired of trying what the world says about weight loss, or you feel God is calling you to do things differently, this episode will show you how to build a healthy life with Him. We’ll be discussing: ✔️The Root of Emotional Eating: Understanding the impact of trauma on your health and how to break free. ✔️Spiritual Fitness 101: Why your relationship with Scripture is as important as your time in the gym. ✔️Navigating Exercise Choices: Practical tips for resistance training and why some "alternative" practices may be harming your spirit. ✔️The 12-Week Pivot: A sneak peek into Ondrea's faith-based wellness program.   Connect with Ondrea Instagram - https://instagram.com/andrealynn [https://instagram.com/andrealynn] Facebook - https://facebook.com/andrealynn [https://facebook.com/andrealynn] Christian Women's Weight Loss Victory Plan - https://www.amazon.com/Christian-Womens-Weight-Loss-Victory-Plan/dp/XXXXXX [https://www.amazon.com/Christian-Womens-Weight-Loss-Victory-Plan/dp/XXXXXX] Ondrea Lynn's Podcast - https://linktothepodcast.com [https://linktothepodcast.com] Spiritual Fitness Program - https://linktotheprogram.com [https://linktotheprogram.com] Toxic Practices to Avoid: Yoga and Tai Chi - https://linktothearticle.com [https://linktothearticle.com] The Dark Truth About Yoga - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-65-the-dark-truth-about-yoga-tai-chi-qigong-what/id1727970575?i=1000702170628 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-65-the-dark-truth-about-yoga-tai-chi-qigong-what/id1727970575?i=1000702170628] The Christian Women's Weight Loss Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/christian-womens-weight-loss-faith-food-fitness/id1727970575 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/christian-womens-weight-loss-faith-food-fitness/id1727970575] The Free Guide To Win The Spiritual Battle in Weight Loss - https://www.ondrealynn.com/win [https://www.ondrealynn.com/win]   Connect with me: Facebook: @Megan Jurd-Bruiners LinkedIn: @Dr. Megan Bruiners Website: meganbruiners.com Subscribe to the Kingdom Author Corner on Substack for insightful articles on writing an impactful book and turning your book into a revenue-generating asset: https://drmeganbruiners1.substack.com/ [https://drmeganbruiners1.substack.com/] Register for the Master Your Story.

EP9 - No More Silence!

Content Disclaimer: This episode contains a conversation about sexual trauma within a family context. Listener discretion is advised, as this topic may be sensitive or triggering for some audiences. Please take care while listening and pause or skip if needed. ------------------------------------- What happens when the story you have been most ashamed of becomes the very thing God wants to use to heal someone else? In this touching episode, I’m sitting down with author and publisher Erica Young. She pulls back the curtain on her personal journey of healing from childhood sexual abuse and the long road from silence to unmuting her voice. We dive into the reality that many women are "muted" by the unhealed trauma that keeps them hiding behind fear, people-pleasing, and perfectionism. Erica shares how she finally found the boldness to unmute, why she’s "boasting in Christ" rather than herself, and the difference between therapy and coaching in the healing process. If you’ve been waiting to amplify your voice, write that book, or launch that business but feel "stuck" in your past, this episode will give you the spiritual and practical tools to finally step into the light. We’re getting into: ✔️Breaking the Silence: Overcoming the fear of being seen after experiencing trauma. ✔️Perfectionism vs. Purpose: How to stop letting the "need to be perfect" stall your divine assignment. ✔️Visibility Strategy: Building the confidence to go live and show up authentically online. ✔️Healing vs. Writing: Why releasing your truth on paper is a non-negotiable step for your personal development.     Connect with Erica Young Website: www.ericatrinette.com [http://www.ericatrinette.com] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ericat.young1 [https://www.facebook.com/ericat.young1] Tiktok - @ericatrinette Instagram - @ericatrinette   Connect with me: Facebook: @Megan Jurd-Bruiners LinkedIn: @Dr. Megan Bruiners Website: meganbruiners.com Subscribe to the Kingdom Author Corner on Substack for insightful articles on writing an impactful book and turning your book into a revenue-generating asset: https://drmeganbruiners1.substack.com/ [https://drmeganbruiners1.substack.com/] Register for the Master Your Story.

EP8 - Identifying the Spiritual Chokehold

Have you ever felt like there’s a shout building inside you… but every time you try to speak, write, or finally launch, it’s like something tightens and stops you?   In this episode, I’m sitting down with the fire-filled Vicki L. Baker for a real and honest conversation about the spiritual resistance that keeps so many women—especially those who know they’re being called into something new after 50—from fully stepping into what’s been placed on their life.    Vicki shares her personal journey, how writing became part of her transformation, and why she recognizes this season as her Exodus.   We talk about the things people don’t always say out loud—why visibility can feel intimidating, how the wrong voices can quietly influence your decisions, and why so many powerful messages never make it beyond the page.    If you’ve been feeling that nudge to stop holding back and finally show up, this conversation will meet you right there.   Inside this episode, we unpack: * Identifying the Chokehold: What that internal resistance actually looks like—and how to recognize when something is trying to silence your voice. * The “Exodus” Season: Why this transition isn’t random… it’s a necessary release from what you’ve outgrown. * Writing as Healing: How putting words on paper can uncover things you didn’t even realize were there. * Authority & Influence: Why it matters who you allow to speak into your vision—and who gets a seat at your table. * Ageless Purpose: Why being 50+ isn’t a limitation—it’s an advantage in this season of your life and business.   “This is your Exodus, honey. Your voice isn’t just muted—it’s being prepared for a shout.”     Connect with Vicki L. Baker   Website: vickilbaker.com Facebook: @Vicki L.

EP7 - AI Can’t Mimic the Anointing

Have you ever felt like you’re being stretched between your faith and the demands of the business world? In episode 7 of the Amplify Your Voice Podcast, we’re getting into the "how-to" of marketing alignment—how to find a strategy that actually sparks joy instead of burnout. We also tackle a big topic: AI. While the world is racing to automate everything, we discuss why AI is a useful tool but can never replace the unique talent and prophetic mantle God has placed on your life. If you’re ready to stop letting the "giants" in your path stop you and start co-creating with God, this conversation is your green light.   What we are diving into: ✔️Faith & Strategy: Why combining the two is the secret to a powerful movement. ✔️Authentic Marketing: Finding the sweet spot between who you are and what you do. ✔️The AI Conversation: Using tech as a tool without losing your soul or your voice. ✔️Overcoming Obstacles: How to keep going when the path looks crowded. Legacy ✔️Stewardship: Managing your message today so it impacts generations tomorrow. "Get out of your own way and be a good and faithful servant!"
