Building A Clear Authentic Brand

If hiring feels exhausting, expensive, or like a constant cycle you can’t escape, I get it. Most business owners aren’t struggling because they don’t care—they’re struggling because they’ve never been taught a real process for finding the right people.

In this episode we dive into why hiring is the most important process in your business, what it really means to hire the right people, and how to start building the right process.

If you’ve been feeling distracted, overwhelmed, or like you’re working hard but drifting… you’re not alone. Sometimes the problem isn’t a lack of effort—it’s a lack of vision. And without a clear picture of where you’re going, it’s easy to let life (and business) quietly run you.

This episode is about slowing down long enough to ask: what am I actually building, and who am I becoming? I share the exercise that changed my life—one th...

It’s really easy to wake up one day and realize you’ve been living on autopilot.
Busy. Reactive. Pulled in a hundred directions—but never really stopping to ask, “God, what do You want for my life… my marriage… my business?”

In this episode, I share four simple rhythms that help me seek God’s will with less noise and more intention across life, marriage, and business. As a wife, mom, and entrepreneur, I’ve learned that clarity d...

Fear smothers hope. There are days when fear sits on your chest and tells you nothing will ever change. You can know all the “right” truths in your head and still feel swallowed by anxiety, doubt, and dread about your life, your business, and your future. This episode is for the moments when you can’t see a way out and you’re wondering if God really will come through.  It’s what it looks like to fight fear one thought, one scriptur...

There’s a part of me that loves predictable: steady income, familiar routines, full calendar, known faces. But what happens when the life that looks “safe” on the outside is quietly suffocating your soul—and God loves you enough to pull you out of it?

In this episode, I share how God led me out of a job, a church, a town, and a life I’d known for 20 years—and into a season of almost zero predictability. No guaranteed paycheck, no bu...

As entrepreneurs, it’s so easy to say our hope is in God while we're actually clinging to the next project or client. 

In this episode, I share how our early years of being completely broke planted a deep scarcity mindset in me. For years I told myself, “When we’re finally stable, then I’ll be generous,” and that moment never seemed to come. God has been using this last uncertain year to completely rework how I see money, provi...

For years I chased a calling I wasn't ready to carry. I wanted to speak, to teach, to lead… but it wasn’t about loving people or pointing them to Jesus. It was about my worth, my image, my need to feel significant. Eventually God shut the doors and led me into a small, quiet life where the real work was my heart, my marriage, my parenting, and my character.

Now, as He resurrects that dream, I’m learning what it really means to ...

It’s so easy to treat my résumé, experience, and past wins like they’re proof I’m “okay.” I wouldn’t have called it pride—I just thought I was competent, seasoned, the one who could walk in and fix things. But underneath that confidence was a quiet belief that I was the one holding everything together.

Then God led me into a season where all the things I’d leaned on—my role, reputation, comfort, income—were stripped away. In the unr...

When you feel stuck in your business, it’s so easy to think, “If I could just find the right strategy or the right expert, then I’d finally get unstuck.” But what happens when all that advice leaves you more confused, anxious, and disconnected from God? 

In this conversation, I share how my dependence on business experts, advice, and strategies  became an idol—how I prayed for wisdom, but then ran to Instagram, YouTube, and courses ...

It’s so easy to treat stats,  views, downloads, followers, likes, like they’re a mirror of my worth.  But God used a season of zero engagement and burnout to expose my obsession with results and invite me into a different way: obedience over outcomes, authenticity over performance. 

In the silence, when nothing was working, God started asking different questions: Who are you doing this for? Why are you really posting this? Would you...

As entrepreneurs, we’re wired to plan, push, and make things happen. But what do you do when God asks you to let go of the plan, release control, and trust Him in a season that makes zero sense on paper?

In this episode, I share my messy struggle with the idol of control—chasing God-given dreams with my own plans and timelines and what it looked like when God uprooted us from everything safe and familiar and asked, “Do you trust Me ...

In this episode, I’m continuing my very real “walk of shame” through the idols I’ve wrestled with as an entrepreneur—this time, the idol of my own strength.

After our move to Alaska, I slipped into full-on hustle mode: 12-hour days, learning every strategy, trying every platform, grinding harder and harder straight toward burnout—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I was praying, but I wasn’t listening. I was asking God for he...

We’re continuing our series on idols in business by getting painfully honest about one a lot of us carry quietly: when our business itself becomes an idol.

Not an idol in the form of something obviously evil—but a good thing we’ve elevated to the main thing. A place we run to for hope, security, identity, and worth…before we run to God.

I’m sharing the story of two different seasons in my life where I gave my business everything—my t...

In this episode, we’re kicking off a new series on idols in entrepreneurship—not golden calves or carved statues, but the subtle, modern idols that quietly take God’s place in our lives and businesses. If you’ve ever felt your business owning you, your identity hinging on your performance, or your hope quietly shifting from God to “how well things are going,” this series is for you. 

I’m sharing from my own story over the last 15+ y...

There have been a few times in my life where everything on the outside looked “fine” – even really good – but something deep inside me knew I wasn’t meant to stay where I was.

This episode is me inviting you into one of those seasons.

I’m sharing how God led me from a role I loved, in a company I loved, to uprooting our family and moving to Alaska in a matter of weeks… and how that shift actually started a year and a half earlier wit...
