We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Tecola Burrows a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Tecola, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Let’s start with the story of your mission. What should we know?
My mission started from being bound by fear & not knowing my identity in Christ. It left me voiceless & hopeless. I started to search for more and build my relationship deeper with God which led to me finding my identity. I started my podcast show voiceless just a woman living by faith & a vision God has given me. This vision turned out to be bigger than I thought and now I have a community of believers who are walking by faith & not by sight. I help women find their voice through podcasting because I was once HER and now I’m on a mission to help build the voiceless.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers
Im a mom, author, digital creator & kingdom entrepreneur. I started my journey as a security officer and my life has changed over the course of 3 years once I had an encounter with God. He changed my life drastically, I went from being a security officer to a author, podcast host & kingdom ambassador. I was looking for more and honestly I didn’t know what that looked like for me until I started walking in my purpose. I begin my process in Oct 2020 and I had to go through a series of events thats cause me to let go of the false identity I was walking in unknowingly. This opened up opportunities for me to use my voice once God revealed that I was muzzled and bound by fear. I started my podcast show in March 2021 which I started off voiceless and I walked my journey of transformation on my show with others. This built a boldness in me and cause me to be more transparent with my walk. Later, as my podcast grew I decided to write my 10 day journey to Holiness daily devotional teaching on holiness which is the foundation of my ministry. This daily devotional is a step by step Ebook teaching others how to walk Holy, build their relationship with the Holy Spirit and setting up boundaries. This is the foundation that capitulated me to my next level and has helped others with their walk with God.
My community is built on fast action practical tools that will add faith to your purpose from the devotional, my journal for boss moms which helps moms mentally & emotionally, my merch helps my clients express themselves through the expression of their clothing everyday and the courses I provide such as finding the power of your voice through podcasting which helps you find your voice through podcasting and how to sustain your show step by step. These tools I provide helps my community build faith and know their identity in christ. One of the things I tell my community is to see the world as one big problem to solve and we are the solution!
Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?
I had to unlearn other people opinion about me and move past the limitations. I always considered what other people thought about what i did, how I talked and down to how I lived my life. This caused me to not feel good enough to meet their “expectations “ of me. I begin to live as a water down version of myself and not readily available to take on life obstacles. By unlearning this I was able to get unstuck & to move past limited beliefs by creating a space for me to be myself.
Have you ever had to pivot?
The first time I had to pivot was when I became a single mom and my life changed drastically. I had to quickly adjust to a different life and adjustments to my schedule. This was the beginning of my journey of becoming who I am today. It taught me how to be selfless, determined & strategic. My life begin to shift into my purpose and I became the woman I am today through my single mom journey.
