Auriel Wetherall has lived with diabetes for 26 years—and she built a coaching business around it. But something unexpected happened when she found God a few months ago: she stopped obsessing over how much money she could make and started asking how many people she could serve.
In this episode of the Kingdompreneur Podcast, host Rob Yates sits down with Auriel to discuss the intersection of health, "hustle," and high-level stewardship. Whether you're a Christian entrepreneur struggling to stop chasing "shiny objects" or someone newly diagnosed with diabetes looking for real-world guidance, this conversation is for you.
