I’m sharing some of my personal journey through network marketing in this episode. I’m emphasizing the importance of self-care and spiritual alignment. This episode is all about exploring how to rediscover our God-given identity and purpose, ensuring our worth isn't tied to professional success - or any other idol.

Noteworthy quotes:

•  “Leadership that neglects joy rapidly becomes more like management instead of leadership.”
• “Having an identity that is beyond our work is essential beyond our network marketing business, beyond our titles, beyond our success. True purposeful identity beyond our work is critical as an entrepreneur.”
• “If we fill those wounds and those holes with who God says we are, then the way that we operate in our business looks completely different.”

Noteworthy quotes:

• "When we're not healing from the inside and we're not even really sure what our identity is or what it's rooted in, it can be taken from us and then we're lost."
• "I really feel that we as entrepreneurs, it's more important that we align our hearts with [God] first, instead of our identity being so tied to the results, outcomes and outward appearance or what our bank account says."

This episode is all about encouraging you to reflect, heal, and thrive in your entrepreneurial journey. Let's grow together and redefine success in network marketing! 

Noteworthy quotes:

• “My true worth, my identity, when it's rooted in who God says I am, that I don't need the approval of other people so much. I do need community. But I don't need the approval of other people as much.”
