Author: Misti Green May 19, 2026 Duration: 12:53

In this episode of the iLEAD | Misti Blue Podcast, Misti Green reflects on faith, identity, authenticity, healing, leadership, and personal growth. What if following Christ was never about becoming less of yourself, but becoming more aligned with who God created you to be? This honest conversation explores discernment, resilience, surrender, emotional healing, and learning how to embrace your personality, strengths, and humanity while growing spiritually.


In a world that often asks us to compartmentalize our professional expertise and our personal spirit, iLEAD + Misti Blue: Strategy and Soul refuses to choose. Hosted by Misti Green, this podcast is a single conversation built from two distinct voices. The iLEAD perspective draws from Misti's deep experience in education, offering practical strategies and structural insights for strengthening schools and empowering leaders within systems. Then, as Misti Blue, the dialogue shifts to a more intimate space, tackling the raw human elements of faith, resilience, and the honest struggles that come when leading others or simply navigating a difficult life. Each episode lives at the intersection where actionable methodology meets the soulful perseverance required to implement it. You'll hear candid discussions about the frameworks that build effective organizations alongside the personal stories and spiritual grounding that sustain the people within them. It’s about moving beyond theory and pretense to explore what it genuinely takes to build something lasting, both in our communities and within ourselves. This isn't just about professional development or personal growth in isolation; it's about how they fuel one another. Tune in for a unique blend of tangible advice and heartfelt reflection, all aimed at helping you lead and live with greater purpose and resilience.
