Episode 10: A Queen’s Gathering: Prayer & Presence
This last week has been heavy with loss - locally, nationally, and personally. From tragic accidents in our communities, to the passing of leaders and friends, grief feels close and undeniable. In today’s episode, I open my heart and why I’ve been led to create A Queen’s Gathering - an online prayer room for pageant queens and daughters of the King to come together in prayer and presence.
Join me as we pause, breathe, and lift our hearts to the Lord through prayer. May this episode bring you comfort and hope.
For where two or three are gathered in My name, there am I with them. - Matthew 18:20
✨ A Queen’s Gathering will be held live on:
Tuesday, September 30th at 8 PM EST. Come as you are. There will be no recording, so I encourage you to be there in the moment. For a link to the prayer room, email me at julia@juliachang.net.

Are you pushing yourself so hard in pageant prep that you’re running on empty? The late nights, the workouts, the strict meal plans — it can feel like if you let up for even one moment, you’ll fall behind. But here’s the truth, queen: God never designed discipline to lead you into burnout.

Episode 8: When You Shine, They See Him: Your Light Is a Witness
Do you ever feel like you have to dim your light to fit in? Maybe you've stayed silent about your faith, filtered your voice, or felt the pressure to perform for applause. But sis, you weren’t made to hide—you were made to shine.
In this powerful and faith-filled episode, I remind you that your divine identity as a daughter of the King and calls you to rise and reflect the light of Christ. Whether you’re on the pageant stage, in your career, or simply showing up on social media—your presence can point people to Jesus.
You’ll learn how to shine boldly, glorify God with your influence, and walk confidently in the calling He placed on your life.
Episode 7: Kingdom Over Culture: Living Boldly in a World That Doesn’t Understand You
In today’s episode, I’m getting real about the pressures Christian pageant queens face—to conform, to stay quiet, to follow trends that don't align with truth. I share how God led me step-by-step, even when I didn’t feel “enough” by cultural standards… and how He’s calling YOU to stand out for Him.
You don’t need the world’s applause when Heaven’s already crowned you with purpose.
