#195 | From the Navy to Creative Purpose | Yaneliss "Yany" Isaacs

She joined the U.S. Navy because she didn't think she could make a living as a creative. Five years of service, a powerful encounter with God, and one defining question later — everything changed.In this episode of Talks with Gallagher, host Gallagher sits down with Yaneliss "Yany" Isaacs, Navy veteran, Creative Purpose Coach, and Multimedia Director, for a raw and inspiring conversation about healing, identity, faith, and walking boldly in the creative calling God placed inside of you.Yany shares how she surrendered her life to Jesus while stationed in Guam, how reading "To Create" by Jordan Raynor sparked a breakthrough in her creative identity, and the moment God asked her: "Will you trust in the financial security of the Navy, or will you trust Me?" She turned down an automatic promotion and a $40,000-$60,000 bonus to answer that call — and she hasn't looked back.What You'll Hear in This Episode:Why Yany joined the Navy and the fear of creativity behind that decision- How a corporate church fast and one book unlocked her creative calling- Her "Abraham moment" — leaving financial security to step into purpose- The transferable skills from military service to entrepreneurship- How she launched Coaching with Yany and Yany Visuals- The 3 biggest pain points she sees in creative entrepreneurs today- Why creativity isn't just for artists — everyone is creative by design- Practical steps to reignite dormant creativity starting today- Why merging the prophetic and the apostolic is the key to creative business- How to scale your creative business beyond yourself using systems and AIKey Insight from Yany:"Creativity is you making something out of nothing — everyone is creative in some way, shape, or form. If your Father is creative, it's in your DNA."About Yaneliss "Yany" Isaacs:Yany is a Creative Purpose Coach and Multimedia Director who helps women and visionary leaders steward their God-given creativity and build lasting impact from a place of identity and wholeness — not fear and lack.
