Resources Mentioned in the Episode:

1. Beacon Ship Podcast - Hosted by Tamara Jackson, this podcast brings on faith-based leaders from both ministry and marketplace to showcase their journeys and help mentor the next generation. Beacon Ship Podcast Website
2. Beacon of Excellence Scorecard - A tool developed by Tamara to help those looking for donors and investors better understand what decision-makers are looking for. It’s available for free on her website and is great for entrepreneurs and nonprofit leaders. Beacon of Excellence Scorecard
3. Charlotte Redemptive Entrepreneurship Lab - An organization supporting faith-based entrepreneurs in Charlotte, NC, helping them develop their pitch decks and attract donors and investors.

Action Steps from the Episode:

1. Intentionally Pause Before Making Big Decisions - Tamara emphasized the importance of creating intentional space and slowing down to seek God’s guidance rather than relying solely on your skills or decisiveness.
2. Leverage Faith and Skills in the Marketplace - Reflect on how your unique talents and faith can be combined to serve others in both business and ministry, rather than feeling pressured to separate the two.
3. Utilize Tools That Support Spiritual and Practical Growth - Consider using resources like the Beacon of Excellence Scorecard for business decision-making or even technology (like AI tools and ChatGPT) to deepen your understanding of scripture and find practical biblical insights for everyday challenges.

1. Faith and Business Aren’t Separate Worlds - Tamara shares her journey of learning that serving God isn't limited to traditional church roles; faith can be powerfully integrated into business and entrepreneurial pursuits. Marketplace work can be just as much a form of ministry as preaching or missionary work.
2. The Power of Community and Representation - A supportive environment and seeing examples of others blending faith and business helped Tamara embrace her unique calling. Being around people who valued marketplace leadership as a way to serve God was pivotal in her story.
3. Learning Through Highs and Lows - Entrepreneurial success and setbacks both played important roles in Tamara’s growth. She learned as much, or more, from difficult seasons—like navigating the pandemic's impact on her business—as she did from her highest points.
4. The Importance of Pausing and Seeking Guidance - Decisiveness is a strength, but Tamara emphasizes the value of intentionality and pausing for prayer and reflection. She now prioritizes slowing down, seeking God's wisdom, and doing her due diligence before making big decisions.
5. Stewardship Is More Than Finances - When Tamara experienced an unexpected inheritance, she realized the responsibility—financial, spiritual, and emotional—that comes with stewarding new resources. She highlights that “wealth transfer” isn’t just about money, but about being prepared to manage influence, opportunities, and legacy in alignment with God’s will.

What if building true wealth had nothing to do with Wall Street or a traditional 401(k)? In this episode of Seek Go Create, host Tim Winders sits down with Joey Muré, co-founder of Wealth Without Wall Street, to challenge the status quo of financial freedom. Joey shares how his background in faith and business shaped his radical approach to money, stewardship, and legacy—plus why cash flow (not simply saving) is the real secret to wealth. If you’ve ever wondered how to take control of your financial future and align your money with your values, this conversation is for you!

Access all show and episode resources HERE

Joey Muré is the founder and partner at Wealth Without Wall Street, and a leading voice in helping individuals achieve financial freedom outside of traditional investment systems. With more than a decade of experience in the mortgage industry and a strong commitment to faith-driven leadership, Joey blends financial insights with purposeful guidance to empower others to take control of their wealth. Known for his expertise in passive income and stewardship, Joey has built a community and platform dedicated to challenging the status quo, prioritizing impact, integrity, and generosity in both business and life.

1. Discover Wealth-Building Beyond Wall Street: Joey Muré breaks down why the traditional savings and 401(k) approach actually holds you back from financial freedom and introduces the concept of taking true ownership over your money.
2. Faith, Stewardship, and Money Myths Debunked: Hear how Joey’s personal journey—and his experience growing up in a faith-based home—shaped his bold perspective on wealth, generosity, and the misunderstood relationship between faith and finances.
3. Real Passive Income Strategies, Unfiltered: Get an inside look at the practical systems Joey uses to generate tens of thousands in monthly passive income—including the pitfalls, the wins, and why authenticity matters more than empty “thought leadership.”

Resources Mentioned in This Episode:

1. Wealth Without Wall Street Website & Community - Special listener page: wealthwithoutwallstreet.com/seekgocreate - This page offers access to their community, resources, and direct ways to connect.
2. Book: "Become Your Own Banker" by Nelson Nash - This foundational book introduced the infinite banking concept and inspired much of the Wealth Without Wall Street approach.
3. Wealth Without Wall Street Podcast & YouTube Channel - Regular episodes and interviews on creating financial freedom, passive income, and alternative wealth-building strategies outside of traditional Wall Street approaches.

Action Steps for Listeners:

1. Assess Your Financial Goals and Cash Flow - Re-evaluate where your money is going each month and whether your current strategy (e.g., 401(k), savings, IRAs) aligns with your goal of achieving financial freedom, not just retirement.
2. Explore Your Investor DNA - Take the Investor DNA Profile at Wealth Without Wall Street to discover which passive income strategy best matches your personality, resources, and lifestyle.
3. Start Learning about the Infinite Banking Concept - Read "Become Your Own Banker" by Nelson Nash or listen to Joey and Russ’s episodes about infinite banking to understand how you can put your savings to work more effectively.

1. Wealth Is Built Through Cash Flow, Not Just Saving: Simply storing money in savings accounts rarely leads to wealth. True financial freedom comes from actively putting your money to work and generating ongoing cash flow.
2. Stop Abdicating Responsibility for Your Finances: Many people blindly trust Wall Street or financial professionals without taking personal ownership. Joey emphasizes the importance of stewarding—rather than abdicating—your finances, viewing yourself as an owner instead of a passive participant.
3. Faith, Stewardship, and Abundance Are Linked: Joey’s approach weaves together faith, responsible money management, and the idea that abundance is designed not only for personal gain but also for generosity and impact within your family, community, and church.
4. Passive Income Requires Active Engagement: There’s no such thing as “easy” or “hands-off” when it comes to building passive income streams. Joey stresses that achieving true passive income starts with intentional learning, due diligence, and disciplined investing—then you reap the rewards.
5. Find the Financial Path That Fits You: Not every passive income strategy fits every personality or circumstance. Joey recommends understanding your own “Investor DNA” and aligning your investment and freedom goals with your unique skills, resources, and ambitions for a sustainable wealth-building journey.

Are you a leader who’s always taking care of others but rarely making time for yourself? In this episode of Seek Go Create, host Tim Winders sits down with Benita Williams, the “self care surgeon,” to unpack the root causes of burnout, the burden of constant caregiving, and the transformative power of leading from a place of rest and alignment with God’s purpose. Benita shares her personal journey from performance-based exhaustion to supernatural stewardship, revealing how true self care impacts leadership, identity, and lasting success. Tune in if you’re ready to break free from running on empty—and discover what it means to thrive from the inside out.

Access all show and episode resources HERE

Benita Williams, known as the "Self Care Surgeon," is a leader in the field of self-care, stewardship, and holistic well-being for executives, entrepreneurs, and caregivers. With over twenty years of experience in nonprofit executive management, Benita brings a deep understanding of leadership, responsibility, and the challenges of burnout. Drawing from her journey as a caregiver and her faith-driven approach, she specializes in guiding high-performers to break free from performance-based exhaustion and align with a restorative, purpose-filled life. Benita empowers leaders to thrive by integrating physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health, making her a sought-after expert for those seeking sustainable success and radical alignment with their true calling.

1. Discover a deeper, faith-based definition of self care as Benita Williams, the “self care surgeon,” reveals how true self care is about radical alignment with God—not just spa days and surface-level fixes.
2. Hear Benita’s powerful personal story of burnout, caregiving, and career shakeups, including the life-changing moment when she realized her pattern of performance-based living was unsustainable.
3. Gain practical tools and mindset shifts for leaders, entrepreneurs, and caregivers to move from relentless self-effort into restful stewardship—plus learn the surprisingly simple yet transformative practices she recommends for intentional rest and holistic well-being.

Resources Mentioned in this Episode:

1. Benita Williams' Website - benitawilliams.com - Visit Benita’s website to learn more about her coaching, resources, and to schedule an appointment.
2. Spiritual Business Retreats - Benita mentions attending a spiritual business retreat that was pivotal in her journey. While no specific retreat is named, listeners may benefit from seeking out similar faith-based business retreats in their area.

Action Steps for Listeners:

1. Prioritize Rest and Self-Care - Begin by scheduling intentional periods of rest and reflection throughout your day. Try practices such as Benita’s 90/20 rule: work with focused intent for 90 minutes and then take a 20-minute break to recharge.
2. Assess Alignment in Your Life - Evaluate whether your physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual aspects are in harmony. Identify one area that feels out of alignment and brainstorm a small step you can take this week to move closer to balance.
3. Seek Community and Guidance - If you are struggling with burnout or feeling overwhelmed in a leadership or caregiving role, reach out for support. This could be through connecting with a coach like Benita, attending a spiritual retreat, or engaging with resources and community on podcasts like Seek Go Create.

1. True Self-Care Is Deep Alignment - Benita redefines self-care as more than just pampering or surface routines. For her, true self-care means being in total alignment—physically, mentally, emotionally, socially, and spiritually—all at the same time. Achieving this harmony is essential for a fulfilling life and effective leadership.
2. Rest Is a Divine Principle, Not a Luxury - Rest isn’t just a break or a reaction to burnout; it’s a gift and a command from God. Benita shares her journey of learning (sometimes the hard way) that embracing rest is an act of faith and stewardship. Rest is about trusting God to sustain you, not relying solely on your own strength or constant activity.
3. Caregiving Requires Boundaries and Self-Love - Many leaders and caregivers pour themselves out for others but neglect their own needs. Benita candidly discusses the dangers of caregiving without boundaries, emphasizing the importance of recognizing your own value, setting limits, and practicing self-kindness to avoid exhaustion and resentment.
4. Let Go of Performance-Based Leadership - Benita speaks from experience about the trap of performance-based leadership, where identity and worth are tied to how much you achieve. She highlights the shift from ownership and self-effort toward stewardship—understanding that your talents, influence, and responsibilities ultimately belong to God, not you.
5. Awareness and Intentional Pause Are Critical - One of Benita's most practical lessons is the importance of cultivating awareness—being in tune with your body, emotions, and spiritual state. Intentional habits like scheduled rest cycles (the 90/20 rule), journaling, and moments of stillness lead to greater clarity, creativity, and overall well-being.

These lessons make this episode a powerful listen for any leader, caregiver, or high achiever seeking to thrive from a place of rest, purpose, and alignment.

2. Book: "Emotional Confidence: 3 Simple Steps to Manage Emotions with Science and Scripture" - Alicia’s book that shares her ADD (Acknowledge, Discern, Decide) method to help manage emotions with practical steps grounded in science and scripture.
3. Podcast: The Christian Mindset Coach - Hosted by Alicia Michelle, this podcast dives deeper into mindset, faith, and emotional tools for Christian living.

Action Steps for Listeners:

1. Journal Regularly or Try Morning Pages: Set aside time a few mornings each week to write freely for 10 minutes or fill 2–3 pages. This can help you process your thoughts and bring clarity to underlying emotions.
2. Schedule Daily Rest and Connection with God: Create intentional daily rhythms for rest, prayer, or quiet time—whether it’s a 25-minute timer outside, or a few moments of stillness. Use this space to check in emotionally and spiritually, as discussed in the episode.
3. Implement the ADD Method: When strong emotions arise, try Alicia’s three-step process:

• Acknowledge your emotion and why it makes sense you’re feeling that way.
• Discern what’s true and not true in those thoughts, seeking clarity.
• Decide what your next best step is and where you will choose to emotionally dwell.

1. True Change Often Requires a Wake-Up Call - Alicia’s story of experiencing a life-threatening health crisis reveals how we sometimes only address deeper emotional and mindset issues when major events force us to slow down and reevaluate our lives.
2. You Are Not Defined By Your Roles or Achievements - Both Tim and Alicia discuss the importance of discovering and prioritizing who you are at your core—beyond being a parent, professional, or leader. Identity should be rooted in deeper truths, not just external successes or busyness.
3. Emotional Awareness is Foundational - Noticing and naming your feelings is the crucial first step toward emotional health. Many high-achieving, faith-driven people bypass their emotions, but learning to acknowledge them honestly is key for lasting growth.
4. Integrating Faith and Brain Science is Powerful - Alicia’s approach blends biblical truth with practical neuroscience, showing that scripture and science together provide effective tools for managing emotions, building resilience, and aligning thoughts with God’s truth.
5. Rest, Rhythms, and Connection With God Are Non-Negotiable - Building routines of restful pauses, honest journaling, and intentional connection with God refuels us. Ignoring emotional and spiritual needs leads to burnout; responding to them creates space for healing, wisdom, and real impact.

2. The Book: "You, Me, and Anxiety: Take Action Over Anxiety to Enjoy Being You" by Robyn Graham. This book offers insights into managing anxiety and provides practical steps for both individuals experiencing anxiety and those around them.

Action Steps for Listeners:

1. Establish a Nighttime Routine for Better Sleep: As discussed in the episode, creating a calming bedtime routine can significantly aid in managing anxiety. This could include journaling, reading, or other activities that ease your mind before sleeping.
2. Practice Gratitude: Robyn emphasizes the importance of a gratitude practice. Taking time each day to focus on what you're thankful for can help reduce anxiety and shift your focus to the positive aspects of your life.
3. Seek Help if Needed: If you resonate with the anxiety discussed in the episode, consider reaching out to a therapist or a healthcare professional. There's no shame in seeking help, and it can lead to better understanding and management of your mental health.

Here are 5 key lessons from the Seek Go Create episode with Robyn Graham:

1. Understanding Anxiety: Over fifty percent of people in the U.S. have a clinical diagnosis of anxiety, and many more experience it without seeking help. It's important for leaders to recognize that someone on their team might be dealing with anxiety, impacting their performance and interactions.
2. Significance of Sleep and Routine: Sleep is vital for resetting our nervous systems and managing anxiety. Establishing a consistent nighttime routine and maintaining sleep hygiene can play a significant role in reducing anxiety.
3. Value of Gratitude and Self-Care: Practicing gratitude can help counteract anxiety, as it's impossible to be anxious and grateful simultaneously. Self-care activities like journaling, exercise, and devotionals are crucial for mental health.
4. Impact of Social Media and Cultural Environment: The current cultural and social media climate can amplify anxiety due to an overload of information and divisive discourse. Limiting exposure to these sources can positively impact mental well-being.
5. Importance of Seeking Help and Being Open: If someone is experiencing anxiety, it’s important to seek help and not face it alone. There is no shame in a mental health diagnosis, and talking to a therapist or doctor can greatly improve one's quality of life and relationships.

These lessons highlight the significance of both recognizing and addressing anxiety, whether it's in personal life or within a leadership role.
