Miracle Moment | Rae Taggett

Ever felt like you're an expert in your space, but you're still a little bit invisible? In this episode of Miracle Moment, Rae Taggett sits down with Gabrielle Scout, founder and CEO of Scout's Agency, to break down the podcast guesting strategy that turns one interview into visibility, clients, and revenue. Gabrielle has booked her clients on more than 6,000 podcast episodes, and she's seen a single guest appearance generate over $300,000. But showing up for the interview is only 5% of the opportunity. The rest comes from what you do before and after: promoting it, connecting with the host, and repurposing every conversation into content that compounds. Two podcast girlies who've been in this space for eight years also get into how to use AI to sharpen your message without losing the human part, plus an honest conversation about ambition, motherhood, and letting go of perfect parenting. If your voice isn't landing, it might not be your story. It might be that it's not being heard in the right rooms.

Feeling pulled in every direction between business, family, and faith? This short prayer is for the woman who wants clarity on what matters most, and the peace to let go of what doesn't. Following this week's episode on giving your best energy to the right priorities, Rae prays over every listener as she journals, looks honestly at her calendar, and asks God to reveal what to focus on, what to magnify, and what to delete, delegate, or automate. No shame, no pressure. Just a gentle invitation to bring divine order back to your business, your family, and your faith. Take a few minutes, grab your journal, and let this be your reset. 🎧 Listen to the full episode: Who Gets Your Best Energy? 3 Questions to Realign Faith, Family, and Business https://youtu.be/CDCNwCKiFkM Memorable Quote "Lord, I know that you reveal things in such graceful ways, and so you will never actually reveal something that we have not asked for or that we're not ready for. You're such a gentleman in that way." – Rae Taggett Connect With the Host Website: https://raeirelan.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/raeirelan/ Join the Evolved Influence Academy Community today! https://www.skool.com/evolved-influence-academy/about?ref=28c7243ce169469eb9979bbc4226a76a Produced by Evolved Podcasting: www.evolvedpodcasting.com Learn more about your ad choices.

There's a difference between being busy for your family and actually showing up for them. Between working on your business and working on what moves the needle. Between saying God comes first and living like He does. Rae gets honest about the pattern she had to break: giving her best energy to everything except the people and priorities that mattered most. This isn't about balance. It's about first fruits. And if you're giving scraps to your husband, your kids, or your revenue goals while pouring everything into the wrong things, this episode will sting a little. But it might also be the reset you've been avoiding. Three questions. Three priorities. And a 15-minute bike ride that changed everything. Key Timestamps  [00:01:15] Question 1: Are you giving God your first fruits? [00:05:18] Question 2: Are you giving your family scraps? [00:09:14] The 15-minute bike ride that revealed everything [00:11:03] Question 3: Are you putting revenue in first position? [00:15:38] Inviting Holy Spirit into your business (and why it hurts) Memorable Quotes "I realized that my family actually was getting a lot of my scraps. My husband was getting my scraps. At the end of the day, I'm so tired, I'm so exhausted, I've given everything, so, ugh, I don't really have anything for you." – Rae Irelan [00:00:34]  Connect With the Host Website: https://raeirelan.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/raeirelan/ Join the Evolved Influence Academy Community today! https://www.skool.com/evolved-influence-academy/about?ref=28c7243ce169469eb9979bbc4226a76a Produced by Evolved Podcasting: www.evolvedpodcasting.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Adrienne closes this week with a prayer that cuts straight to the heart of what it means to trust in divine timing. She speaks directly to the tension every believer knows: miracles can arrive in an instant, but sometimes the waiting stretches longer than we expected. This isn't about patience as a virtue. It's about understanding that God's work doesn't stop just because you can't see it yet. Adrienne prays over purpose, passion, and the beauty of what your hands are creating right now, even in the middle of uncertainty. Short, intimate, and grounded in faith, this moment offers permission to believe that the work continues, whether or not the breakthrough has arrived.

Adrienne Raptis owns rare books worth over a million dollars. She runs multiple businesses in Palm Beach. She wrote a book that became a study guide for her own life. But none of that is her identity. In this conversation, Adrienne talks about the season she calls "breaking open, down, and through." The mango that falls from the tree and splats on the ground. The dream God gave her 20 years ago that only just came true. And why foundation matters more than growth when you're building something that lasts. This is for the woman who's in the shaky season. Who's wondering if the hard chapter means the Author stopped writing. Adrienne's here to remind you: He's still holding the pen.

Because a lot of times we almost have to experience a season of that phoenix dying to ourselves, where we just like, 'What is going on?

This isn't strategy. It's surrender. In this solo prayer episode, Rae asks God to bless the listener tenfold, ten-thousandfold, and to course-correct anything misaligned with His values. She prays for women who don't just enter rooms, but shift them. Women who radiate something different. Women willing to let God be the CEO of their calendar, their business, and their next level of growth. If you've been leading, building, or showing up and wondering if there's a deeper alignment available to you, this prayer is for you.

There are rooms that change you. And then there are rooms you crawl out of. After attending hundreds of events, Rae breaks down the five non-negotiable standards she and Sammy use when hosting their own rooms and when deciding which ones to walk into. These aren't soft suggestions. They're the difference between walking away with deals, partnerships, and real transformation, or checking your phone wondering why you're still there. If you've ever felt the pull to host your own event, or you're tired of wasting time in rooms that don't deliver, this episode hands you the framework. Generous spirit. Radical responsibility. Whole self presence. Solution mindset. Faith over fear. These are the standards that create the spark.

Eunicia Peret doesn't separate faith from finance. Before diving into wealth strategy, exit planning, or coordinated financial architecture, she pauses. She prays. And in that prayer, she names the real barrier most high achievers won't admit: the fear of looking at money honestly. This episode opens with Eunicia's raw, unscripted prayer, a moment that sets the tone for everything that follows. She asks for open hearts, for the courage to move past old programming, and for the kind of resonance that makes hard conversations feel possible. It's not about vulnerability for the sake of it. It's about finding the people you can actually talk to. If you've ever felt daunted by your own financial picture or wondered why wealth feels so heavy, this is where the shift begins. Eunicia Peret Eunicia Peret is the Founder and CEO of Excelstra, a wealth strategy consulting firm that helps high-achieving professionals and business owners transform fragmented financial advice into coordinated wealth architecture. With a background in corporate finance consulting at Deloitte and experience working alongside leading firms such as Ernst & Young and Booz & Company, she brings institutional-level strategy into personal wealth and business decisions. Eunicia is known for her "Unbiased Wealth Strategy Quarterback" approach, aligning tax strategy, investments, and exit planning into one cohesive system. She is also the host of the globally ranked top 5% podcast *Your Business - Your Next Level*, where she helps leaders move from financial activity to intentional financial design.

Most successful women think they have their finances handled. They've got the financial advisor, the CPA, maybe even a team. But what if that team isn't coordinated? What if they're all protecting their own commissions instead of your bottom line? Eunicia Peret, founder and CEO of Excelstra, pulls back the curtain on what wealth architecture actually means and why most high earners are leaving hundreds of thousands on the table. She shares the identity crisis that came with walking away from a corporate partnership track, the moment her husband's integrity shaped her entire business philosophy, and why paying taxes doesn't mean what most physicians think it means. This isn't about earning more. It's about exposing the leaks you didn't know were draining your wealth while you were busy building it.

Your financial manager, your wealth manager, is not going to want your money to move to private investments. They're not gonna want your money to move to alternative investments, to alternative financial vehicles. The reason for that is because that's how they get compensated." – Eunicia Peret [00:18:22]  "Trust is something that is quickly eroding, and too many companies are becoming or have become more and more transactional. They hide behind the 'Trust us, we'll take care of things,' versus to us, trust is more; we take it beyond even somebody potentially working with us. If that trust isn't there from the get-go, should we even have a conversation?" – Eunicia Peret [00:32:18]  Eunicia Peret Eunicia Peret is the Founder and CEO of Excelstra, a wealth strategy consulting firm that helps high-achieving professionals and business owners transform fragmented financial advice into coordinated wealth architecture.

There's a lie that sneaks in quietly: that you're too busy, that other things matter more, that the visions and missions God gave you will have to wait. But time isn't just a productivity problem. It's a spiritual one. In this episode, Rae walks you through the two-week time and energy audit that has become a revelation for so many. It's not about optimizing your calendar. It's about seeing where God is already present in your days and where the enemy has convinced you to look away. This is about obedience, clarity, and the grace to tweak what needs tweaking. You'll hear a prayer that rebukes distraction, invites healing, and surrenders the structure of your life back to the One who designed it. If you've been feeling the pressure of misalignment, this is your reset.
