    037: Stop Waiting to Feel Ready | Starting a Podcast, Part 7

    June 10, 2026 / No Comments

    Most successful podcasts don’t begin with a perfect plan. They begin with a rough idea and figure things out as they go. That's normal.

    June 5, 2026 / No Comments

    You wrote the blog post. You prayed over every word. You hit publish and genuinely believed that if God wanted it to reach people, He would bring them. Then you checked the stats. Silence. That quiet disappointment is so confusing, because you did the spiritual thing, right? You trusted. You didn’t get caught up in all that marketing stuff. So why didn’t it work? That tension points to a mistake we have both had to unlearn. It is the belief that faith replaces strategy. We want to gently but directly say: don’t let faith replace your business strategy. They are meant to work together, not to stand on opposite sides.…

    Stop Copying Others And Find Your Own Strategy

    May 29, 2026 / No Comments

    It starts out so innocently. You see someone who has built the kind of business you want, so you study her. You buy her course. You follow her launch plan step by step. And for a little while, it feels like relief. You finally have a roadmap. But then, somewhere along the way, something starts feeling off.  The words don’t sound like you. The strategy feels like wearing someone else’s clothes. That’s when you realize you may have drifted into copying what works for someone else, instead of finding what fits you. We have both been there, and today we want to help you stop copying others and find your…

We have both lived in that tension more times than we can count, and we want to walk you through a better way. Put The Big Rocks In First You have probably seen the object lesson before.

    Build Community Before You Sell Anything

    May 15, 2026 / No Comments

    You know that cringe you feel when an old acquaintance pops into your messages out of nowhere, and the very first thing they do is pitch you a product? No “How have you been?” No actual hello. Just a link and an ask. It feels pushy, maybe even a little violating, and it makes you want to hide. That’s what happens when we try to sell something before we build community. Real sales grow out of trust and genuine connection, not a bigger follower count or a perfectly worded offer. If you’ve been tempted to launch and hope people show up, or if you’ve already put something out there and…

That heavy, pressured feeling is not what He has for you. We have been right where you are. After years of building businesses that fit our actual lives and not the other…
