What if you're thinking too much and it's exhausting you? What if you could have way more peace and time and the only thing that needs to change is how you think? Let's be like Mary and float through the day.

Breaking down how and when I've hired people in the past and the questions I ask myself to make sure that we're ready to add someone to the team.

You're playing a long game but it's worth it. I share some wins we've had in business and how it's really become a dream business for me and my stage of life. 

Feeling pressure around money? That's normal but we don't want to let that feeling drive our work. Here are the four steps to drop that feeling and work from peace!

Most of you are creating a new rhythm in your business in the new year after the holidays. It might also include accommodating snow and sickness. It might be a slow season or gearing up for a big Lenten season. I talk about the process of creating a new schedule.

Confusion is an indulgent emotion. It's something we roll around in and we let this feeling keep us from being problem-solvers. I'll tell you what you can do instead!

I've said it before and I'll say it again... your thoughts create your results! If you want different results in your business, listen to this episode to learn exactly how you can do it!

Are people tired of buying courses and memberships? Maybe. Let's talk about how we decide if something is true and THEN what we can do even if it is true. I share my thoughts about what you'll need to do to be successful in 2025. 

Business is a whole bunch of... being bad at new things. In addition to learning new skills in business, you need to build the skill of tolerating. This will save you so much time and energy!

What's the most draining thing in your business? It's the amount of time you spend being upset about something. Today I break down two different ways that we are often upset and what to do in each situation.

Here are some practical things I've prayed about this year in my business. I share some ways you can pray about your business to help you get unstuck and create less stress on your calendar.

You've heard of playing small but are you praying small? Sometimes, we're scared to ask God about what we should do because we're scared of the answer. 

When is stress normal and when does it tip into sinfulness? This is such an important question to ask ourselves because God is not going to ask how productive we were. He's going to talk to us about sin so we better clean up our minds and calm down.

If there is a part of your business that you are hiding from a coach or a group you're part of, it's definitely rooted in shame. We must bring things into the light. We must bring things to Christ. I break down how to do this in this episode.

I didn't put out the podcast last week and what happened after that was so interesting! Let's talk about how we can show up in business when we miss deadlines.

When you think it's all on you to have great ideas and to be inspired in your business, you add pressure to yourself. When you add pressure, you either freeze or you'll be frantic.

When you realize that inspiration comes from the Holy Spirit, the pressure comes off. You trust God to bring inspiration when you need it and it's a lot easier to work from peace.

I interview Hannah Fleace of www.christiancopyco.com/ about the power of storytelling copywriting and how telling stories is a great way to connect with your potential clients.

I've been reading a lot lately and watching YouTube videos on business and here are five nuggets of wisdom that really stood out to me!

Entreprenuership can feel very lonely, especially if, for whatever reason, you feel a lot of financial pressure to be successful. But as soon as we start thinking... it's all on me... we end up working from a stress state. 

Brains love rewards and since you're the boss... it's up to you to treat yo self. Let's talk about the big and small ways we can rewards ourselves so we can roll up our sleeves and get work done!

How do you do business when you're sad or going through a difficult season? The answer... depends. Let's talk about it!

If you're feeling discouraged in your business, go back to basics. First, sit with the Lord and check in about whether or not He wants you to do business right now. Then check on things like your offer, your market, your customer journey, etc. Find your love for your business again. Be creative.
