Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Sioux Smith. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Alright, Sioux thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Naming anything – including a business – is so hard. Right? What’s the story behind how you came up with the name of your brand?
I live a life of JOY… fully living in my Kingdom Identity, Power, and Authority as I run my business Kingdom Living Coach. But it hasn’t always been this way…
I have experienced many incredible challenges throughout my life that tried to push me to my very limits, beat me down to break my spirit, strip me of all my joy, and derail my inner peace and my relationships.
Everything from childhood abuse, near death experiences, a house fire, an alcoholic parent, the unexpected death of a loved one, betrayal by friends, prolonged unemployment and poverty, chronic health issues, to simple rejection…
As if all that wasn’t enough, in 2007 I was in an auto accident and sustained a traumatic brain injury that literally striped away my identity. As I struggled with ongoing health issues, doctor’s negative prognoses, and overcoming my loss of all I had thought about myself, I refused to give up hope or lose my faith! I learned that God has used all my life-journey—the good and the bad— to equip me for my Kingdom Purpose. Which enables me to lead other women into abundant Kingdom Living.
While I am blessed to have turned great opposition into success and financial abundance, the practical and spiritual journey to get to this place has revealed several secrets that have taught me the difference between striving to survive and living a life of Kingdom power, authority and joy!
I’ve uncovered 3 keys for Christian Women Leaders and Influencers who yearn to truly feel satisfied with their life work and revive their long dormant DREAMS.
Key 1: is to Rediscover your authentic Kingdom Identity and your Inheritance
Key 2: is to Redefine Your Life-story and How it equips you to walk in Your Unique Purpose
Key 3: is to Rekindle Your Long Dormant Dreams by developing an actionable plan to see them become a reality
These keys brought me breakthrough and opened opportunities for me to live the joy-filled, satisfying life I dreamed of and they will do the same for every woman! Each person deserve to live as their authentic self and enjoy all that the Lord has designed them to be, to do, and to have! That is true Kingdom Living!
Sioux, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
I am a life-long entrepreneur. I have been in women’s ministry for over 35 years. I took my company—Kingdom Living Coach—online in 2021 in order to lead more women into abundant Kingdom life. I am blessed to be married to a wonderful man—we are celebrating our 45 anniversary this year. I am a #1 Best-selling Author, International motivational speaker, and mom to 10 children who are now awesome adults.
As a business/life coach, I offer group training courses and private coaching. I guide my clients into realizing their long-dormant dreams such as writing a book, speaking publicly, or starting a business or ministry organization. My clients go on to become #1 bestselling authors, find their own powerful message to get on stages, or becoming successful entrepreneurs and non-profit leaders.
We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.
Yes, overcoming a traumatic brain injury when doctors told me I wouldn’t.
Are there any books, videos, essays or other resources that have significantly impacted your management and entrepreneurial thinking and philosophy?
Raving Fans by Ken Blanchard and Sheldon Bowles taught me the importance of going above the expected for my clients.
Worth Every Penny by Sarah Petty (even though it is a book about starting a photography business) taught me that the information I have and the skills I have developed are valuable and I should not undersell myself or my knowledge. I am worth every penny I charge.
