Episode Description
"The old version of you simply doesn't fit anymore, like shoes that are too small. You can keep wearing them and walking around uncomfortable if you want to, or you can size up and learn how to walk again." —Kishea Boyd
We reach a point where success looks fine on the outside but feels heavy on the inside. Old labels, safe environments, and expectations start to clash with what God is stirring beneath the surface. This message speaks to the tension of outgrowing who we used to be.
Keisha walks through the spiritual and emotional work of releasing identities that no longer align with God's purpose. Her insight comes from personal surrender, deep reflection, and learning when to let go without guilt.

Kishea Boyd is a woman whose journey began not with triumph but with a search for identity, purpose, and the heart of God in every season. After serving over 20 years in the U.S. Coast Guard, where she honed resilience and leadership, she found her true strength not in uniform, but in faith. Rededicating her life to Christ in 1999 marked a turning point, leading her into ministry, mentorship, and a deeper understanding of who she was called to be. Through the joys of family life with her husband, Quinton, and their son, Kameron, and through the challenges that shaped her, Kishea has learned that God's love never lets go. Today, she lives to help others rediscover identity, healing, and purpose through Him.
