If you’re a high achieving Kingdom woman who believes you’re called to impact the world through your gifts, then you’re in the right place! Hi friend! I’m Heather, teacher turned entrepreneur, coach, speaker and your host of the Seek First CEO podcast. I’m passionate about helping ambitious servant hearted women find their worth in Whose they are, not what they do. After building a variety of businesses, including an 8 figure business, it took losing it all to find Jesus’ all. I was deceived for far too long believing I had to work for my worthiness, prove my value, and be the provider for all my needs. But God! When we seek God first and keep God first, we can’t go wrong! As a Certified Master Neuroscience Life Coach, I help you connect the dots between Biblical Principles and Brain science so you can take your thoughts captive and be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Since I don’t do surface, we go deep here and talk about the stuff underneath the surface because my prayer is to help you get to the source of your heartset and mindset road blocks so you can have breakthrough by aligning your heart and mind with Biblical truths. If your heart’s desire is to grow in your relationship with Jesus, while fearlessly fulfilling your purpose and calling, then let’s open up the Word together and see what the Holy Spirit has to say about living your life in F.L.O.W. with Him! Are you ready? I’d love to connect with you! JOIN OUR COMMUNITY: https://www.facebook.com/groups/seekfirstceo LEARN: www.heathershriverburns.com CONNECT: coachheathershriverburns@gmail.com

Are you feeling stuck in your business and unsure how to move forward? Are you ready to confront the fears and lies holding you back?
If so, let’s dive in! It’s time to BREAK FREE!
Hey Sister Friend!
Feeling stuck is the number one reason my one-on-one clients seek my help. They feel held back, knowing they're made for more, yet struggling to get there. Many women I work with reached their current level of success at a high personal cost—peace, health, sanity, family, or marriage. They’re not willing to move to the next level if it means similar sacrifices. Whether you're aiming for multiple six figures, haven’t hit that six-figure mark, haven’t been able to quit your day job, or don't know what business God is calling you to start, this episode is for you.
Covered in this episode:
- Reasons why entrepreneurs may feel stuck in their business
- Overcoming obstacles in business
- Importance of having a clear vision
- Creating a well-defined plan
- Maintaining the right posture, both in heart and mind
- Addressing fear and its impact on entrepreneurial endeavors
- Recognizing and exposing the lies that fear may be telling us

We all have a story, and in today's conversation we discuss why it is so important to share our story with others.
Today's guest is Judi Logan. Judi is a dear friend mine, she is a mother of five, ordained minister, and published author of the book, "The Unraveling". In this episode she shares some of her journey that lead to writing her first book, even though she was reluctant to do so. She emphasizes the importance of receiving first the love of God, and how through His love, she was able to love herself. That journey of learning how to love herself was what propelled her to share more of her traumatic childhood story, in order that others may find healing, encouragement and hope in Jesus.
Whether you feel like you have a story worth sharing or not, this episode will propel you to reflect and look for how God has shown up throughout your journey. It will also encourage you to know, that no matter what your past may look like, as you walk closer with the Lord and give him those broken pieces of your story, He is able to redeem, restore, and do more than what we could as or think.
We hope you are left encouraged by today's episode.

In this episode, I have the pleasure of diving into the topic of finding true fulfillment in business with my friend Becky Baxter. Becky began her entrepreneurial journey in network marketing. She reached the top her company and was awarded several times for her accomplishments. But even with all of her success, she felt like something was amiss.
God took Becky on a journey of reigniting her passion for leaning into God’s assignment for her life. That is when she was able to find true joy and purpose by re-aligning herself with God’s heart for her. She gives us some insight into what her journey has looked like, and what led her to where she is now. Becky is a successful coach for women in the network marketing space and is passionate about helping kingdom women grow their impact for God’s glory. She confidently shares how our business is merely a vehicle that God uses to fulfill his mission for our lives, and that it is by living out our personal, God-given mission, that we are able to find true fulfillment and joy in the process.

Chances are you started your business because you had a burning desire to help others as well as you knew there was fulfillment in it for you. Personally, I started my business to have more flexibility with my schedule as a new mom. Then when I saw the earning income potential, I sprinted toward "financial freedom".
No matter why you started and why you're still here, there's something heavy on my heart lately to share.
Have you been, perhaps, chasing a false sense of freedom through your business when Jesus already came and SET YOU FREE?
I used to market FREEDOM through business opportunities, too. But I learned the hard way, more success in business does not equal more freedom. In fact, my experience was the exact opposite. The more success I had (built an 8 figure brand), the more stress I felt, the more pressure I felt, the more anxiety I had, the more my health declined.
In today's episode, we are getting to the heart and mind of the matter when it comes to FREEDOM and how you can choose freedom today regardless of your bank account, busy calendar, or anything else that is keeping you from feeling free.
This one might require a tissue. Tears are a beautiful thing. Don't shut them down. Let them flow as Holy Spirit ministers to your weary soul.
I'm here for you, sister friend, as we journey together into becoming the CEO God created us to be.

There are many business books out there but not many with a Kingdom perspective. One of the first books I read for business through a Kingdom lens was by today's guest, Shae Bynes. What an honor and privilege it is to get to share her with you today. Shae is a pioneer when it comes to teaching how to do business with God and someone who has impacted millions of entrepreneurs. In this episode, Shae and I talk about her journey to learn how to partner with God in business and do it with grace, rather than grinding her way to success.
Shae Bynes is a passionate storyteller, teacher, and mentor whose life and business was completely transformed through the power of encountering the unrelenting love of God. Her heart is to see marketplace leaders and families that are courageous, connected, and aligned with Kingdom purpose.
Shae is the Founder and Chief Fire Igniter of Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur where she inspires, teaches, and mentors Christian entrepreneurs to be led by God in their businesses so they can experience His best and have a greater Kingdom impact in the marketplace.
Together with her husband and high school sweetheart Phil, Shae helps couples strengthen their marriages by cultivating true intimacy through the power and love of God. Shae is the proud mother of 3 beautiful daughters and lives in the Fort Lauderdale, Florida area.
