Are you sitting in your corporate job right now, feeling that pull toward something more? That whisper that says you're meant to coach, consult, or serve in a bigger way?

In this episode, I'm breaking down the 5 reasons why you need to stop wasting your calling and finally start your business. We're not just talking about WHAT's holding you back—we're diving into WHY it matters and exactly HOW to overcome each obstacle.

This is your wake-up call. The world needs what you have to offer, and it's time to stop hiding it.

Perfect for you if:

Reason #1: Your Dream Has an Expiration Date

Reason #2: You're Trading Your Purpose for a Paycheck

Reason #3: Fear is a Terrible Financial Advisor

Reason #4: Your Story is Someone Else's Survival Guide

Reason #5: The Best Time to Start Was Yesterday—The Second Best Time is Now

"Every single day you stay stuck in corporate without taking action toward your calling, you're using up your precious reserves of courage, vision, and excitement."

"The enemy of action isn't fear—it's familiarity."

"Success without fulfillment is just exhaustion with a title."

"You're so afraid of losing your current income that you're refusing to create new income."

"Your experience—the good, the bad, the messy middle—that's your curriculum. That's what qualifies you to help others."

"You will never feel completely ready. There will always be a reason to wait."

If you're tired of staying stuck in corporate and you're ready to finally start your coaching, consulting, or service-based business, I want to help you make it happen.

Faith-Fueled Exit is my 24-week program designed specifically for corporate women who are ready to build their business WHILE they're still employed. We break it down into three clear phases:

✅ Phase 1: Clarify your calling and offer ✅ Phase 2: Build your foundation (brand, messaging, systems) ✅ Phase 3: Launch and scale your business with confidence

You don't have to figure this out alone. Let's build your exit strategy together.

Hi there

So many people never step into their calling — not because they’re afraid to fail, but because they’re afraid to not know.

We want the plan.

But faith doesn’t work like that.

In this episode, Holly shares her own story of chasing perfection instead of purpose — how she poured everything into YouTube, only to realize she was glorifying the grind instead of God. Through that surrender came clarity, peace, and a redirection that changed everything.

You’ll learn how to:

This message will speak straight to the heart of the person who’s tired of “waiting until they're ready” — and is finally ready to walk by faith, not sight.

1️⃣ God Reveals the Vision in Pieces

2️⃣ Perfectionism Is Fear in Disguise

3️⃣ Faith Requires Motion

4️⃣ Your Calling Will Evolve

5️⃣ Surrender the Outcome

Hebrews 11:8 — “It was by faith that Abraham obeyed when God called him to leave home… He went without knowing where he was going.”

Proverbs 16:9 — “A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.”

Isaiah 30:21 — “Your ears will hear a word behind you, saying, ‘This is the way, walk in it.’”

Have you ever been so sure God was calling you to something—until the moment you took a step, and doubt crept in?

In this episode, Holly unpacks how doubt often masquerades as responsibility, how the enemy mimics God’s tone to keep you stuck, and how to discern the real voice of God when fear sounds logical.

You’ll learn:

The difference between divine direction and deceptive doubt

The peace vs. pressure test for spiritual decisions

Three ways to confirm if what you’re hearing is truly from God

How to move in obedience even when you feel uncertain

This one’s for the woman who knows God is stirring something new—but the noise of fear keeps her standing still.

John 10:27 — “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.”

Matthew 7:16 — “You will know them by their fruits.”

Isaiah 41:10 — “Do not fear, for I am with you.”

Hi My Friend, 

Someone told me recently, “I’m using my family as an excuse. I don’t want to live out my dreams because I’m afraid it’s going to jeopardize our lives. I’m the breadwinner, and I’m afraid I’ll lose everything.”

If that hits home, you’re not alone.

We’ll unpack:

How fear can disguise itself as responsibility

The way your choices silently shape your family’s beliefs

What it really means to step out in faith — even when your knees are shaking

Because here’s the truth:

Part 1: The Fear That Feels Noble

Part 2: God’s View on Courage

Part 3: The Leap of Faith (Tactical Steps)

Start with obedience, not outcome. Take one small step of faith today.

Reframe fear as preparation. Learn to tell the difference between discomfort and discernment.

Lead by example. Let your children see what living courageously looks like.

“You can’t build a life of faith while clinging to the edge of fear. Let go of the pool’s edge—and trust that God’s already in the water waiting for you.”

Stop letting fear masquerade as responsibility

Model courageous faith for your family

Finally take that leap God’s been nudging you toward

Joshua 1:9 – “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
