    As a free subscriber you will get the "4 Points to Hearing the Voice of God" PDF instantly in your inbox as well as weekly writings, reflections and teaching on what it actually takes to lead from a settled, Christ-rooted identity rather than an anxious, striving one.  

    The moment you upgrade to paid, the Identity Ceiling Diagnostic lands straight in your inbox as a downloadable PDF, no waiting, no extra steps. This guided self-assessment walks you zone by zone through Decisions, Worth, Control, and Visibility to show you exactly where your growth is actually capped. This is not another generic quiz that hands you one vague score and calls it a day. You will walk away with a real, honest picture of whether you are dealing with a Targeted Identity Ceiling in one specific area or a Full Identity Ceiling running underneath everything you do. If you have ever felt like you are doing all the right things strategically and still hitting the same wall, this diagnostic will finally show you why, and that clarity alone is worth the upgrade. 

    Episode Summary:

    What if your website shame is really an identity issue? In this episode, I sit down with Makena Delaney, founder of Makena Creative, who has built over 300 websites and 150 brands. We talk about why your brand must reflect your ideal client, not only your favorite colors, and how a visual ecosystem becomes aligned leadership on display. Makena shares her journey from makeup artist to thriving founder, plus habits for DIY founders: stick to the template and skip the wall of text. Good branding is stewardship, built on a confident mindset.

        Episode Summary:

        The 1-year mark of Leadership for Busy Working Moms gets unscripted and today I share what God spoke to my heart this morning: "I love you. I am enough. You are enough."

            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:

                Revenue is real. The offer works. So why does every decision still run through you? This episode unpacks Acts 6, the moment the apostles faced explosive growth and a leadership crisis, and shows you the exact biblical framework for moving from Operator CEO to Visionary CEO. You'll learn why mission drift feels productive, why delegation without structure creates dependency instead of leaders, and how to steward your role with aligned priorities instead of carrying it all yourself. This is the mindset and habits shift your next season is asking for.

                  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.

                    When everything you've built seems to burn down around you and the people you lead want you gone, what do you do? In this episode, we walk through David's crisis at Ziklag (1 Samuel 30) and the 7 R's of Crisis Leadership, from recognizing reality to stewarding the reward. You'll learn why aligned leadership beats a quick mindset fix, why your habits and routines mean nothing without a foundation rooted in God, and how true stewardship is revealed not in success, but in the hardest seasons of your leadership.

                      You can hit seven figures and still build a life you never wanted. This episode unpacks why a fuzzy vision quietly runs your business and drains your mindset before you even notice. Using the illustration of a Lego manual with clear instruction pages, this shows how aligned clarity, not more hustle, eliminates decisions. Rooted in Habakkuk 2:2, this episode walks you through the difference between vision, goals, and habits, and gives you a one-page vision exercise to bring stewardship and aligned routines back into your calendar this week.

                        You didn't hit a revenue ceiling. You hit a capacity ceiling, and no funnel fixes that. This week Susan unpacks Moses in Exodus 18 to show why stewardship (not hustle) is the real fix for founders who feel like everything depends on them. You'll learn why self-reliance quietly replaces trust, how to run your own Capacity Audit, and why aligned routines and habits only work once you've released what God never assigned you to carry. If you're ready to lead from mindset shifts that actually stick, this episode is your starting point.
