Most women think they need a big audience, a perfect funnel, or a viral moment before they’re “allowed” to make money. But your first (or next) $1K doesn’t come from the internet magically discovering you — it comes from simple offers, real relationships, and the kind of service that feels steady, not salesy. In this episode, we’re breaking down how early revenue actually shows up — and why it’s so much simpler (and calmer) than the online world makes it sound.

We know you’re building something more than just a company, you’re building a venture that has to align with your soul. But some days, the drive just isn’t there. You had momentum, and now it feels like you’re pushing a boulder uphill. Let’s talk about how your faith isn’t just the foundation for this work, but the actual, daily fuel that gets the boulder moving again. We believe faith is the secret ingredient to momentum that doesn’t burn you out. It turns hustle into holy work and tasks into purpose. Momentum That Doesn’t Come from Hustle You know the feeling. You launch something, ideas are flowing, and you’re in a groove.…

So many of us want to create something meaningful, but we get stuck on the offer itself: what it is, who it’s for, and why it matters. In this conversation, we talk about how to build an offer that fits the way we’re designed and meets a real need in someone’s life. When the offer is strong and honest, sharing it feels natural – not salesy or pressured – because the value is already clear.

We were just talking about this, the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it. You can spot your roadblocks, and you can make the mindset shift, but then nothing moves. It’s so frustrating. We get it. For me, getting stuck looks like moving the same task to tomorrow, again and again, for months. I’ll be consistent in everything else, but that one thing just sits there. And Laurie has had those more obvious moments where she’s felt down or overwhelmed. Here’s the truth we keep learning. Feeling stuck doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It’s usually a sign you need some clarity, or you need some support. Usually both.…

We know that feeling. You’re working, but it’s like you’re on a treadmill. You’re putting in the effort but not actually moving forward. Maybe it shows up as procrastinating on that one big project, or maybe it’s just a general lack of spark. It can feel lonely, and it’s easy to start wondering if something is wrong with you. Here’s what we want you to know first: feeling stuck is normal. It doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It’s often just a signal that you need a little clarity or one small action. And the way out isn’t usually a massive, scary overhaul. It’s a series of gentle, intentional shifts. These are…

Influence doesn’t have to be loud, public, or polished. Jesus showed us that the most transformative impact often begins quietly, in hidden places where nobody is keeping score. In this Christmas Eve reflection, we explore what His life teaches us about presence, humility, and the kind of influence that changes people without ever trying to impress them. This episode is an invitation to rest, breathe, and remember that the way you’re building your business matters deeply.

That voice in your head. The one that hits you when you’re staring at a blank screen, when you see someone else’s launch, or when you move the same task to tomorrow for the fifth time. The one that whispers, “What’s wrong with me?” We hear it too. It’s a heavy feeling, and making the mindset shift out of it is the first step to getting unstuck. And you know what? That voice is actually trying to help in its own way. In our conversation, we talked about how our brains are wired to keep us safe. Stuckness can feel ‘safer’ than risky action, so our mind sends criticism to…

Launching a new product, offer, or podcast doesn’t have to be loud, stressful, or perfectly planned. Most of us were never taught what a “launch” actually is — which is why it feels so intimidating. In this honest, behind-the-scenes conversation, we unpack the three real ways to bring something into the world: a hard launch, a soft launch, or a reveal. If launching has ever felt confusing, pressured, or “too much,” this episode is going to feel like an exhale.

If you’re reading this, we’re guessing something’s off. Maybe you’re staring at your to-do list for the third day in a row, moving the same task to tomorrow. Or maybe you feel like you’re just going through the motions, spinning your wheels but going nowhere. That feeling? We know it. We’ve lived it. And the first thing we want you to know is this: feeling stuck does not mean you have failed. It’s a signal. It’s your business, or maybe your soul, waving a little flag and asking for some clarity. The good news is, you can’t solve a problem you haven’t named. So today, let’s sit down together and…
