Episode Summary:

Is rest your reward, or your restoration?

In this episode, I sit down with Michelle McCoy, founder of Treasured Wellness and a board certified holistic functional health coach, to talk about why so many high achieving Christian moms feel exhausted even when everything “looks normal.”

Michelle shares the mama bear moment that started her mission, and I open up about my own son’s migraines and what we discovered when we started paying attention. We talk about stewardship of the body God entrusted to us, the health legacy our kids are watching us build, and the mindset shift that turns Sabbath from a luxury into a habit.

Episode Summary:

Who is leading you while you lead everyone else?

In this episode, I join Lissa Figgins of Redeem Her Time® for an honest conversation about leading yourself well as a Christian founder mom. We talk about why high capacity is not unlimited capacity, and why stewardship, not striving, is the mindset that keeps your business, your family, and your faith in their rightful place.

I share what a recent trip to Korea stirred in me about legacy, how my 73 year old aunt and her new rock climbing habit sent me home rethinking my own routines, and why I hired a trainer for a season. Lissa and I unpack the warning signs we tend to ignore, how joy works as a fruit test for whether you are aligned, and how to plan your days with open hands so God can redirect them.

Episode Summary:

After visiting my parents in South Korea, I’ve been pondering legacy: the ones we inherit, good and painful, and the far greater inheritance we have in Christ. Through Lydia, the businesswoman whose home became the church at Philippi, I explore how inherited habits, routines, and mindset run our leadership like old software. You’ll learn the Inheritance Exchange to name, test, and keep, release, or redeem what you carry, so you can lead aligned in Christ with faithful stewardship. You didn’t hit a revenue ceiling. You hit a legacy ceiling.

Episode Summary:

This episode breaks down how leaders actually hear God, not through hustle, but through quiet, aligned listening. This episode shares Elijah's still small voice, two beliefs that remove fear of hearing wrong, and a four-step listening practice. Founders can trade anxious time blocking for true stewardship of attention. The real block isn't a mindset or habits problem, it's a listening ceiling. Build the routine of listening first, and your boldest decisions get clearer.

Episode Summary:

You've built the revenue, hired the team, and you still catch yourself thinking it only works if you're the one doing it. This week you learn why that isn't a mindset problem, it's an identity ceiling built on a belief you never examined. Walk through the Belief Audit, a four step process to uncover, trace, and replace what's been quietly running your calendar. Then anchor the new belief into morning and evening routines built for stewardship, not just habits. Discover why renewal is active, not automatic, and what aligned leadership actually requires of you this week.
