Gifts, Talents & Entrepreneurship (with First Lady Irene Magee)

In this powerful episode of Marriage, Motherhood & PTSD, Coach Leah sits down with First Lady Irene Magee — pastor, wife, mother, educator, and serial entrepreneur — to talk about discovering your God-given gifts, developing your talents, and stepping boldly into purpose.

Together, they dive deep into why so many women feel called to “more,” the difference between a gift and a talent, how to know when it’s time to monetize your skills, and why so many of us start strong but struggle to finish. Irene shares her journey from the classroom to building multiple businesses, leading a thriving ministry, and empowering an entire community to release what God placed inside of them.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, unsure of your calling, or afraid to take the next step — this episode will activate your faith, ignite your creativity, and remind you that purpose does not expire. Your gifts are still alive. And your next level is still possible.
