What happens when a daycare waitlist disaster becomes the push you needed to leave corporate forever? Vanessa Mitera from Mitera Branding and Eden and Empire shares her journey from a comfortable corporate life to ultimately pivoting to build a faith-driven brand empire that prioritizes wholeness over hustle.

In this episode, we explore:

• How a daycare crisis forced Vanessa out of her corporate comfort zone
• The dangerous cycle of achievement-based worth and validation seeking
• Why she went from 10 clients to 2 to focus on her true calling
• Building Eden and Empire: a faith-based community for female entrepreneurs
• The wholeness framework that transforms business and life
• Learning to surrender outcomes and trust God's timing over data and metrics
• How childhood experiences shaped her calling to help high-functioning women

Key Insight: "We weren't made to be single-purpose individuals. You were called to be a mom AND a business owner—those desires aren't random."

Perfect for: Faith-driven entrepreneurs, corporate women considering the leap, anyone struggling with achievement-based worth, and business owners seeking alignment over hustle.
