Back with a New Name: Taylor Swift, Charlie Kirk, and Christian Hot Takes You Didn’t See Coming

She Lives Freed with Brittany Dawn Nelson

Show Notes

After months away on maternity leave, we’re back — and a lot has changed. In this episode, I open up about life after becoming a mom, what God’s been speaking in this season, and why this break was so needed. We’re also unveiling the new name of this podcast: She Lives Freed — a bold declaration over the women in this community and the mission behind every conversation we have.

We’re diving into some real and raw conversations this week, including:

The heart behind the rebrand

Life after maternity leave and how motherhood has reshaped my calling

My thoughts on the recent Charlie Kirk situation — and why it’s stirred up such an important conversation for believers

Why I don’t believe Taylor Swift should be celebrated as a role model for young girls — and the importance of discernment in pop culture

And more unfiltered, Spirit-led thoughts on culture, calling, and living boldly in truth

This episode is a reset, a reintroduction, and a rally cry for the women who are done playing small.

Takeaways:

God often uses seasons of rest to refine our purpose.

Culture will always try to disciple the next generation — it’s up to us to point them back to truth.

Living “freed” means living fearless, bold, and anchored in the Word, even when it’s unpopular.

In today’s episode, I sit down with trauma therapist and nervous system expert Rochelle Walsh to talk about burnout from a perspective many women have never considered. Instead of seeing burnout as a lack of faith, discipline, or time management, it's often a sign of nervous system dysregulation.
