Key Quotes from the Guest

“It’s not God putting me through hardship. It is literally just this is business. Learn to roll with the punches and have the systems in place so you’re not wavering.” 💼

“Autopay is a given. You must pay autopay. I gave too many people a little bit of leeway… not anymore.” 💳

“Communication is vital. You didn’t communicate that you were unhappy or needed something different, and I didn’t even have a chance to support you.” 🧭

“You’re still going to learn things that are going to change in different phases of your business, even six years in.” 🌱

“You read terms and conditions and wonder why they’re there—it’s because someone went through something and made sure it never happened again.” 📄

“Sometimes as women we think about their situation first, but we’re business owners too. If someone did this to them, they would be livid.” ⚖️

“A lot of our work is invisible. You’re paying for the expertise and the speed in which I can do that and convey that information.” ⏱️

“If you’re booked right now, be booked. Still talk about it and tell people, look—I’m booked and busy. Isn’t that beautiful?” 📅

“Write down the wins your clients have had and compare them to what they invested. That reminder helps you stand confidently in your pricing.” 📊

“If someone isn’t ready to change their habits, you’re going to be chasing and pulling them forward emotionally—and that’s not sustainable.” 🚧

After teaching financial classes and noticing a major gap around budgeting, they developed a simplified system that helps women organize their finances in a way that actually fits real life. In this conversation, they break down why traditional budgeting often feels restrictive, how their “bougie on a budget” philosophy reframes money management, and why organization—not overspending—is often the real problem. They also open up about their entrepreneurial journey, including rock-bottom moments, unexpected pivots, and how faith guided them to focus on the one thing they were called to do.

Guest: Dr. Leslie Baylis Davis

Episode Summary

What does it truly mean to find — and use — your authentic voice?

In this powerful conversation, Linda Mendible sits down with Dr. Leslie Davis, a leader in inner healing, vocal empowerment, and faith-based leadership. Together they explore the deeper connection between faith, identity, and the courage required to show up in your calling.

Dr. Leslie shares her personal journey through loss, healing, and divine calling — including the moment God revealed that every person carries a “lion in their lungs,” a voice meant to speak truth, purpose, and encouragement into the world.

If you’ve ever doubted your calling, struggled with fear, or wondered whether your voice truly matters in business and life, this episode will remind you that your story, your faith, and your obedience are all part of the journey.

This conversation is a reminder that success isn’t just strategy — it’s alignment, faith, and trusting the process God has placed before you.

• Why your voice matters more than you think

🦁 “You have a lion inside your lungs — and when you speak what God has placed inside of you, others get to hear His voice.”

✨ “When we behold Jesus, we become like Him. What we consume is what we overflow.”

🔥 “Sometimes the thing you don’t want is the very thing God is calling you to.”

💛 “Without your pain, you wouldn’t have healing. When you give Him your ashes, He gives you beauty.”

🌿 “The purpose of this life is to know Him and be known by Him.”

Scriptures referenced during the conversation:

• Joshua 1:9 — “Be strong and courageous…”

Concepts discussed:

• Kintsugi – The Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold
