If you’ve been in business longer than an hour, you know that there are unexpected twists and turns at every corner of running your own small business. Today on our women in business podcast, we’re tackling the unpredictable nature of entrepreneurship, sharing our personal experiences of unexpected challenges and the lessons learned along the way. If you want to navigate the twists, turns, and burnout in business, today’s episode is for you.

We’re breaking down how:

• Entrepreneurship isn’t linear - and why that matters to you as a business owner.

• God’s plans are different than we expect, and doing this can help you get through the twists and turns in business.

• How doing this - for more than just a few hours per week - can help you avoid burnout.

• Accountability and community can help you you navigate the challenges that come with entrepreneurship.

• The importance of focusing on this (and not just revenue) can really drive your business growth in these seasons.

Through stories of faith, resilience, and God’s provision, we’re reminding you to surrender your plans and embrace the detours, knowing that God works through every twist and turn. If you're feeling overwhelmed by where your business is headed, let this be your reminder to seek God, ask for help, and trust that He’s guiding you through the switchbacks of entrepreneurship.

You love to volunteer - whether it’s at church or for a local organization. It’s also easy to feel pulled in many directions—between growing our businesses, volunteering, and taking care of our families. For Christian women entrepreneurs, it's essential to balance our calling to serve with our need to protect our time and energy.

Today we reflect on our own journeys of setting clear expectations in our businesses and volunteer work, especially within the church. They explore the delicate balance of generosity and maintaining professionalism, illustrating how saying "no" can sometimes lead to a healthier "yes."

We’re breaking down:

• How thinking about volunteering with a fresh mindset helps you avoid burnout.

• Why treating your volunteer time like a business transaction is actually a good decision.

• How to not feel guilty for saying no by doing this one thing.

• Our best advice on how you can maximize your volunteering

Above all, God calls us to serve with a joyful heart but also gives us the wisdom to know when to say no. Whether you’re struggling with burnout or simply want to avoid resentment, this conversation will provide you with strategies for honoring your commitments without sacrificing your peace. We’re giving you practical wisdom from real-life experiences to help you be encouraged to seek God’s guidance as you manage your time, talents, and energy in a way that brings Him glory and brings you peace.

Being Clear is Kind When It Comes to Your Christian Business https://youtu.be/yEh5JJ39ZXs

In this episode of our Christian business podcast for women, we dive into the often misunderstood world of affirmations and mantras. As Christian women in business, it’s easy to shy away from practices that seem rooted in secular or other religious traditions. However, today's discussion sheds light on how we can reclaim these practices by focusing on biblical truths and God-centered affirmations that empower us in our faith, life, and business.

We’re breaking down how you can…

• Approach mantras and affirmations in a way that aligns with your faith

• Create your own positive declarations using this as your guide

• Use what we’ve learned to be an encouragement to you and your faith journey

Don't let the idea of affirmations and mantras intimidate you. When grounded in Scripture and aligned with God's truth, these practices can be powerful tools for Christian women in business to stay focused, encouraged, and deeply connected to their faith. Listen in to hear how you can use them to speak God’s promises over your own life and business!
