Seek First CEO is a podcast for high-performing, faith-led women who are done choosing between success and peace.
Hosted by Heather Shriver Burns, Master Coach and speaker, this show explores the intersection of neuroscience, Scripture, and spirit-led strategy — helping women understand their inner world so they can lead, build, and steward their mission from alignment instead of pressure.
These conversations are for the woman who knows she’s anointed to lead, called to abundance, and tired of doing everything “right” while freedom still feels just out of reach.
Because when you seek first the Kingdom, leadership flows differently — and everything else follows.

This Christmas, let’s unwrap a gift that costs nothing but means everything: the gift of presence. In this special episode, I open up about my own struggles with slowing down and share how I’ve learned to be truly present—with God, with others, and with myself.
Life gets busy, especially during the holidays, but what if we paused to savor the moments that matter most? Together, we’ll explore practical ways to step out of the hustle and into the sacred stillness of the season. From understanding how our nervous system reacts to stress to trying simple somatic exercises that reconnect us with our bodies, this episode is an invitation to experience the peace we often long for during this time of year.
Let’s find joy in stillness, cherish the people we love, and honor the presence of God in our lives. My prayer is that this episode leaves you feeling inspired to slow down, breathe deeply, and fully embrace the beauty of this season.
Grab your favorite cozy drink, settle in, and let’s dive into this meaningful conversation.
Have a Merry Christmas!

And if you want to go to a greater season and a new season, you want to be prepared for what's next. You have to do the pruning. You have to let him guide you through where you're at now to get through where you want to be next.” - Hannah

Is your soul as prosperous as your business? Feeling stuck despite your hard work? Maybe it's not your business, but your soul that needs tending.
Hey Sister Friend!
It is time to take care of your soul!
While it's easy to focus on business strategies, sales funnels, and achieving milestones as a high achieving entrepreneur, the care for our soul is equally important for sustaining long-term success and joy. This week I am sharing five more ways to care for your soul as a high-achieving entrepreneur. I understand how easy it is to focus on business success and the hustle while neglecting the health of your soul - that is why I am so passionate about helping you work from a place of flow with God. This week’s tips include exploring purposeful play, daily gratitude, personal retreats, visual reminders of God's promises, and the importance of community and accountability. These practices have truly transformed my life and business, and I'm excited to help you thrive from the inside out - soul over sales.
If you are ready to go from soul tired to soul on fire, join me for the Made for More Challenge December 16-18, 2024!
