POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Sometimes the story we believe about ourselves was written by someone else. Trauma, painful experiences, and the words of others can shape how we see our worth, our potential, and what we believe is possible.

In this episode of The Navigating Leaders podcast, Gabriel Griess sits down with Kerri Oles to explore healing, resilience, and the courage it takes to move beyond the stories that have held us back. Real growth takes time, and the path forward may involve therapy, coaching, or a supportive community.

Your past may have shaped your story, but it doesn't have to define your future. by @kerrie_oles

Some of the biggest breakthroughs in leadership and life begin with the courage to address what is holding us back.

Tomorrow on The Navigating Leaders Podcast, Gabriel Griess sits down with Kerrie Oles of Unlocked Ministries, an author and voice for healing, freedom, and personal growth. Their conversation explores the kind of inner work that can shape how we lead, live, and move forward.

If you’re a leader, entrepreneur, or professional pursuing meaningful growth, this is a conversation worth paying attention to. Sometimes becoming stronger requires us to understand what has been holding us back.

New episode drops tomorrow.

Phoenix… I’m still wrecked.
2 weekends from Florida to phoenix—rooms full of women who showed up hungry — and walked out healed, awakened,& ready to lead.
.
I’ll never get over this. Every time I get to preach, every time I get to worship with you, every time I get to sign a book and hear your story…
.
Im quietly reminded: your story is never too far gone for God to use it. There is no self‑worth ceiling in the Kingdom—He keeps lifting it
He keeps lifting YOU/US!
Phoenix birthing new Unlocked groups in real time too- I’m undone. God is moving through women who are done playing small and ready to lead their communities into healing and identity & I’m here for it 🙌
And if that’s you… If something in you is stirring… If you’ve been wondering whether you could lead a Fall group in your church or community…
Sis, get your curriculum. It’s worth the effort. And YOU are worth it
The return on this investment — in your confidence, your calling, your women — is beyond anything you can imagine
Your story is the key that unlocks someone else’s comeback 👏🏼Let’s build this together ❤️ thank you to the amazing rock pastors @pastorkevingoff @mlisagoff for having me! And all the women who worked effortlessly to put this together and all the women that showed up already! We’re just getting started #sundaymood☀️ #womensconference #comeback #encouragement by @kerrie_oles

Still in process… What happened at Sheshines Florida! @therock_leesburg
.
It wasn’t just a conference. It was a reminder that in the world we live in God is still restoring, still healing, still setting people free & still writing great Comeback stories
.
Every prayer. Every late night. Every detail. Every person who served on the team. And every woman who had the courage to show up and say, “I’m ready for something different”
.
WOW. So worth it…
.
To every woman who came: keep going-what God started in you this weekend is only the beginning
.
Women were saved
Women went from believing something that felt like truth to reframing where the enemy lied & Unlocked small groups started! Letsss goooo 👏🏼👏🏼
Leaving w a full ❤️ of gratitude that I get to do what I do for the Lord! Special thanks to pastors @mlisagoff @pastorkevingoff for trusting me & for being amazing friends in our lives #sundayvibes #gratitude #womensconference #personalgrowth by @kerrie_oles

If you’re new here… welcome—For most of my life, I hated having my picture taken because I never felt good about myself
I’d freeze, hide, or want to disappear
But these last few years? God has healed places in me I didn’t even know were broken
So today’s photoshoot wasn’t about posing — it was about standing in the story I fought for🙌
I’m glad you’re here. We have so much coming that I pray speaks life into you 🎉 & thank you to the dream team @coryohale @heathern_bray

Stop allowing below‑average thoughts to deliver packages to the above‑average life you’re building now
.
We’re out here still receiving mail at addresses we left YEARS ago.
-Old shame letters
-Past‑mistake postcards
-Little “you’re not enough” coupons nobody asked for

I did it too—But here’s the truth: Your past is an old address-You don’t live there anymore
.
If this hits you… If you’re ready to stop forwarding emotional mail to places you’ve already left… I want to walk with you

🎙️ Listen to this week’s podcast episode — we’re going deeper into emotional wholeness, identity, and releasing the old address for good.

📘 Or join me this fall for a guided journey through emotional wholeness with the Unlock curriculum. If you’re ready for healing with structure, community, and actual transformation… this is your season.

Your future has a new address. Let’s forward your life there 🙌 #encouragement #personalgrowth #dailymotivation #mentalhealth #podcast by @kerrie_oles

Most of my life, I wasn’t monogamous with me
I cheated on myself with people who love me, needed me,& told me who I was
.
I abandoned my own worth & called it love
I betrayed myself & called it loyalty
I shrunk & called it peace
.
But I’m done changing the words to make the pain prettier
This season— this podcast— is about choosing us without apology because our mental and emotional self matters
.
Let’s be faithful to our calling
Let’s be loyal to our healing
Let’s be monogamous with us

💭 how did my life get here? Like I don’t belong in this pain this pattern or this place
.
That’s my story
& that’s what he wants to do in all of ours
.
✨ transformation doesn’t start with perfection- It starts with acceptance & maybe sometimes somebody reminding you- you don’t belong there 💐##transformationtuesday #stories #trustgod #encouragement #dailymotivation by @kerrie_oles

I mean a little News- I have a Show! & it’s got COMEBACK energy
.
I’ve had this in my ❤️for years— & now hopefully it will have a place in yours
.
And because humor is at the top of my love language 😂 here’s a taste of the vibe
.
“Own Your Comeback— is a show for those who’ve lived thru some things. And at least one situation where you said “Lord.. be for real” So if life has ever tried you, tested you, or straight up played in your face— you’re in the right place”
.
The set is complete
The stories are real &
if this is a dream. Nobody wake me— I’m finally in my Comeback era! #friday #fridayfeels #encouragement #comingsoon comeback by @kerrie_oles

Monogamy isn’t just for relationships — it’s for identity
.
Let’s be done cheating on our callings with insecurity, comparison & old wounds

I’m choosing to be faithful to believe who God says I am #friday #EmotionalWellness #freedom by @kerrie_oles
