Ever feel like your business is all over the place?

In this episode of Created for This, Julie Thomas Wagner shares her honest journey from trying to be everything to everyone—as a photographer constantly hustling and feeling drained—to finding peace, purpose, and clarity by building her brand on a solid, Kingdom-focused foundation. Julie opens up about the chaos of her early days: saying yes to every client, juggling different types of photography, and feeling like her brand was a mess.

The turning point? Pausing the hustle, praying for direction, and narrowing her focus to serve the clients she was truly called to help. That shift—from building on sand to building on rock—changed everything.

Inside this episode:

• Learn why clarity (not hustle) is the key to a thriving, purpose-driven brand.

• Discover the four cornerstones of a Kingdom brand foundation: surrender, assignment, values, and consistency.

• Hear Julie’s take on the Mary vs. Martha story—and how to break free from the pressure of hustle culture.

• Get three practical, actionable steps you can take this week to move from chaos to clarity in your own business.

Are you hustling, striving, and doing “all the things” in your business but still feeling scattered and unclear? Maybe you’re wondering if you’re even called to be a business owner at all.

In this very first episode of Created for This, I share how surrendering my business to God changed everything—and why building with Kingdom clarity matters more than strategy alone.

You’ll learn:

Friend, your brand isn’t just about profit. It’s about purpose. And when you build from God’s blueprint, profit and peace will follow.

Grab your journal, your coffee, and let’s dig in.
