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. .

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. We're talking about why you're undervaluing what you already bring to the table, how you're missing the goldmine in your professional experience, and why you're dismissing the very journey God used to prepare you for this moment. Here's what we're diving into: Your everyday work skills aren't ordinary - they're your coaching superpowers. Those years of professional experience? That's not just a resume builder, that's your credibility foundation. That personal transformation story you think is "too messy"? That's exactly what someone else needs to hear. 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.
