120 | Stony Heart: Why Inner Healing Comes Before Sustainable Business Success

Hey Friend, Welcome to the Start That Business podcast, where we help Jesus-led career moms turn their expertise into their first coaching or consulting business without quitting their 9 to 5 yet. Are you carrying church hurt, burnout, or emotional baggage while trying to launch your business? Do you find yourself showing up strong on the outside but feeling blocked, stuck, or numb on the inside? This episode is for you. We're wrapping up our Business Book Review series with Stony Heart by Denise Boggs, and while this isn't a "business book" per se, it deeply impacted how I show up as a business owner, wife, mom, and daughter of God. Sometimes, the most important business work happens in your heart first. If you've been trying to build a business over unhealed areas, wondering why you feel stuck despite doing "all the right things," this conversation will help you understand how inner healing creates space for sustainable entrepreneurship and kingdom leadership. What You'll Learn: Why the heart you lead with becomes the culture you create in your business How unresolved trauma disguises itself as control, perfectionism, and people-pleasing in entrepreneurship The connection between soul breakthroughs and business breakthroughs A simple prayer to invite God to soften the stones in your heart Scripture Focus: "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you..." - Ezekiel 36:26 Remember: Broken people break people Hurt people hurt people Wounded people wound people But healed people heal people You can't pour from an empty cup, and you can't build a healthy business with a wounded soul. Let's talk about why healing your heart might be the most important business strategy you haven't considered. Ready to let God soften what's been hardened? Press play and listen now. I pray this brings a breakthrough to both your heart and your calling. . 🎙 Podcast Episode Sponsor: Thoughtful Mind Psychiatry Today’s episode is sponsored by Thoughtful Mind Psychiatry — a mental health safe place where modern care meets compassion.

118 | Nail Your Niche (Without Second-Guessing): A Biblical Take On Finding Who You're Called to Serve

Hey Friend, Welcome to the Start That Business podcast, where we help Jesus-led career moms turn their expertise into their first coaching or consulting business in just 12 weeks. If you're a Jesus-led career mom ready to launch your coaching business but keep wondering, "Who exactly am I called to help?" - this episode is FOR YOU. This is part 2 of my Business Book Review series, where I'm sharing 4 powerful books that have shaped me as a Jesus-led entrepreneur. Today we're diving into Nail Your Niche by Brian Ellwood - and it's a total game-changer. Here's what you'll discover: You're called to serve a previous version of you. Your ideal client might be you from a few steps ago. This makes niche work so much easier and more spirit-led! (2 Corinthians 1:4 - God comforts us so we can comfort others) Choose clarity over being cute. Stop trying to "niche cute" with lots of fancy words and zero focus. Brian emphasizes outcomes over identity - what's the actual RESULT you help people get? You'll get the exact formula I use to create my I help statement. Plus, I'm sharing my own “a-ha!” moments from reading this book, which gave me clarity and helped me get laser-focused in my brand message. By the end of this podcast, you'll have clarity, confidence, and a clear niche statement. You'll walk away with practical tools to discover who you're called to serve with Christ at the center. I pray this helps you take action! . 🎙 Podcast Episode Spotlight: Florida 1.27 Today’s episode spotlight is on Florida 1.27 — an incredible nonprofit based in Tampa, Florida, on a mission to bridge the gap between churches and children in need. Founded by Brian and Rachell, a couple whose own journey through fostering and adoption was marked by deep faith, real challenges, and a bold calling, Florida 1.27 was born from lived experience. What started as a lonely, overwhelming walk turned into a movement; one that equips churches to step into foster care ministry with wisdom, support, and Christ-like love. If you’ve ever asked, “Lord, how can I help vulnerable children in my community?”—Florida 1.27 is your answer. They train and support families, educate churches, and share practical tools for trauma healing, all while keeping Jesus at the center. To learn more about their story and how your church can get involved, visit Florida127.org or email Info@florida127.org. 13310 N 53rd St, #200, Tampa, FL 33617 | 813-563-5127 Let’s be the hands and feet of Jesus—because together, we are more than enough. .

116 | 3 Reasons You’re Still Second-guessing Your Calling Even When You Know What God Said

Hey Friend, Are you still hesitating to launch that God-given business idea? I get it! You're definitely not alone in this struggle! In this episode, I'm breaking down the 3 main reasons why so many Jesus-led career moms stay stuck instead of stepping into their calling as coaches and consultants.

I'm also sharing my favorite confidence-building exercise - creating an "Evidence Bank" that will help you see yourself the way God sees you. Plus, we're looking at Gideon's story because if God can use a guy hiding in a winepress, He can definitely use you! Listen now, if you're ready to: Stop underestimating what you already know Turn your experience into your greatest asset Finally, move from second-guessing to serving Your calling isn't waiting for you to feel ready - it's waiting for you to say yes.
