You’ve been called. You’ve been crowned.

But if you don’t rise, if you don’t move, the kingdom loses what only you were meant to carry.

Emily Ford welcomes you to Called & Crowned, where faith meets leadership, branding meets breakthrough, and women rise to build with heaven’s blueprint. She opens up about her own story, from chasing success to surrendering to purpose, and the defining moment when she realized: This isn’t about building for applause. It’s about building with God.

She reveals:

• Why your calling begins in the quiet, not the crowd
• The difference between popularity and purpose
• What it means to walk in spiritual authority without pride
• The mindset shift from hustling for worth to building from overflow
• How to embrace your divine identity and stop settling
