Tea Time with Katie

Drink of the Day: The soothing Lavender Lemon Tea from Port City Nutrition — a sip of serenity that feels like a spa in a cup. Just in time for Mother’s Day (hint, hint!), it’s the perfect way to relax and reflect.

Katie shares a powerful message called "Favor in the Fog," reminding us that fog isn’t failure — it’s formation. When clarity is missing, God’s still moving. Tune in for encouragement, inspiration, and a reminder that even in the haze, you’re held in His favor.

In a world obsessed with hustle, this episode is a gentle invitation to return to rest. Katie's asking: Are you building your business from a place of grace—or grinding from a place of pressure? If your work has felt heavy lately, you're not alone. But there's a better way.

Jesus says in Matthew 11:28, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” That promise isn't just for your personal life—it’s for your business too. Today, we’re talking about what it means to surrender your striving and truly let God lead. When we align our work with His rhythm, we experience peace, purpose, and sustainable growth.

We’ll share how to recognize the signs of “grind mode,” how to shift into grace-led action, and why your business doesn’t have to cost your soul.

But the real story begins at 3 AM, when a loud crack of thunder jolted Katie awake. In the quiet that followed, she turned to prayer — and God impressed a powerful truth on her heart:

"Quit expecting YOU out of other people."

Katie opens up about the disappointments that come when we place our hope in others, expecting them to respond or love the way we would. She reminds us that the deep longing in our hearts — the space we often try to fill with relationships, success, or approval — was made for Jesus alone. Nothing else will ever fit quite right.
