Redefining Hustle: Pursuing Success as a Christian Woman

Hey, my fellow high-achieving sister in Christ! Ever wonder if it’s possible to be ambitious and let God lead at the same time? Does “hustle” fuel your adrenaline, but you want to ditch the overachievement and pursue success with clarity, serenity and fulfillment? If your outward success doesn’t match your inner unrest and unfulfillment, this podcast is for you! Welcome to Redefining Hustle: Pursuing Success as a Christian Woman! I’m Erin Harrigan, a Christian wife, empty nest mom, entrepreneur and recovering overachiever, who felt those same things. When I prayed for a better way to work, God responded with “let me drive.” Then He led me to help women like you through my speaking, coaching and writing. My mission is teaching you that success doesn’t require buying into the world’s frantic definition of hustle or into the so-called “anti-hustle” movement! Instead, you can meet me in the middle right here, to redefine hustle as you pursue success with God as your CEO! Each wee

Are you a high-achieving, high-earning Christian woman in business or the boardroom who secretly struggles with scarcity when it comes to money? Scarcity is often kept as a secret because admitting it seems like admitting defeat. The triumph, however, is embracing stewardship - of time, talent and treasure - to break free from scarcity thinking!    Because the truth is: there is no scarcity in God's Kingdom, and what He has given...

As part of my annual Money Matters series, I'm thrilled to welcome guest Althea McIntyre to discuss Spirit-led sales and impacting growth & financial stability in your business. I have learned much from Althea and I love her approach to sales that's not focused solely on the commas in the revenue, but instead, is about how the Holy Spirit guides individuals in how, why and to whom they sell in their businesses! What does "Holy Sp...

Whether you've been saved for most of your life, or you're new to your walk with Christ, you're pretty clear on how He guides you through life. Still, as a high-achieving sister in Christ with an established business or professional career, you've mostly been navigating the path of success through your own strength, tenacity, and perseverance. And while it seems this "compass" has served you well with the accolades to prove it, you...

It is said that when you say YES to something, you're saying no to something else, and which gets what answer is truly a picture of your values and priorities - particularly where God falls in your priorities!   On this episode, I welcome my client Jess Cutler, multi-business owner who shares her personal testimony of how God showed her what saying YES to Him meant for her first business and what was coming next. Follow along with ...

Everyone's looking for the shortcut to success, right? There are gurus and so-called experts that will point to you the "fast track" shortcut to success and leveling up your existing business, and those voices are loud. But what if I told you there isn't one? The truth is the "shortcut to success" is a myth, a misconception, and a lie from the enemy. Listen in as we debunk this myth and put our focus in the only truth: the ...

It's February 2024, over half-way through the first quarter and I wonder: how's your strategy holding up so far? What's that you say? You hit the ground running for the year and didn't make time to create a strategy, much less a God-honoring one?   I get it. You've got bright ideas, and you're bright eyed and bushy tailed about what's coming. And there's so many opportunities out in front of you may be thinking: "I don't have t...

Have you ever been told that you have a type A personality as an ambitious woman?   Looking back on your life, it probably doesn't surprise you because you've been an achiever (or maybe even a chronic overachiever like me) your whole life.  You probably like to be in control, you like things to be in their place, you're a go-getter, etc. (can I get an AMEN?) But is it possible to temper that A for achiever by shifting to A for AME...

Once upon a time, I defined myself - anchored my identity - in my achievements, roles, titles, bank account, etc.   When I lost my high level job, my identity took a major hit. When my inward fulfillment and contentment didn't match my outward success, my identity was "I'm not doing enough / what am I doing wrong?" When your identity is anchored in anything that's subject to change, involves other people's opinions, or worldly def...

After a recent keynote speaking engagement, an attendee approached me with this question: "How do I remain content in the pruning and growth seasons of my business?"   She related her story of great outward success by every measure, then realizing her next level growth required surrender to let her true CEO (Jesus) lead. Now in a season of pruning and growth that feels like groundhog day, she is having trouble staying "content in e...

Do you find yourself tying your worth to your pricing and how your clients "accept or reject" what you charge?   Do you struggle with communicating the value of your offers/services? Or do you struggle with charging consistently? These questions have been front and center among the Christian women in business I know, and I believe it has much to do with confusing our worth in Christ with the value we bring to the marketplace, and b...

Lately, I've been hearing the high-achieving Christian women I serve (and others) talk about extreme exhaustion and the perceived need to be "constantly on" in their businesses. I believe it's a multi-layered issue that can start to be addressed by understanding how God made us to work and the value of consistency over constantly.   Let's be honest, the world is LOUD in telling us how we have to be constantly available, constantly ...

If there were a song for today's episode about getting lost, being found and my testimony of salvation in Jesus, it would be Amazing Grace: I once was lost, but now I'm found. Was blind but now I see. In honor of my 56th birthday today, and in gratitude for all our newer listeners, I decided it was a good time to share the transformation in my life and business thanks to Jesus that led me to this career as the Christian business c...

Have you followed influencers in your line of business hoping to find the secret of success? I know I have, and somehow it still eludes me. Yet in my recent conversations with high-achieving sisters in Christ, I've heard them talk of exhaustion chasing the "big" things, and that led me to this conclusion: God wants us to go deep with Him, and He'll take care of the "big" according to His divine plan and timing. Because we often ...

There's a lot of talk about calling in Christian circles (and the world), but how does this equate to your divine assignment and your divine alignment to it? To kick off 2024 with serious Holy Spirit power, I've invited my friend, spiritual mentor, and business expert, Wynne Briscoe, to break this down for us because she truly lives it. In fact, it's the God-given name of her business/ministry: Divine Alignment Divine Assignment (o...

Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that approximately 20% of new businesses fail during the first two years of being open, 45% during the first five years, and 65% during the first 10 years. Only 25% of new businesses make it to 15 years or more. What does it take to experience longevity in business? Yes, clear mission, vision, strategy and discipline. But true longevity, connected to your God-given mission in the marke...

Recently, I turned on my YouVersion Bible app reader and was listening to Psalms, and what struck me was how many times the psalmist ends one psalm in praise, and starts the next one lamenting, "Why have you not listened to me? Why have you left me?" It's kind of how often we put things at the foot of the cross, rejoicing and trusting in expectancy of how the Lord protects us, and picking it up again when He's not moving in the way...
