In this week’s episode of *The Business of Becoming Podcast*, we talk about what happens when life doesn’t go as planned and how those very moments become the space where God rebuilds you into who you were always meant to be.  

From chasing success in your 20s to finding alignment in your 30s, I share the lessons that changed how I lead, love, and live.  

What you’ll hear in this episode:
• The Becoming Years — learning that boundaries aren’t walls, and slowing down doesn’t mean falling behind  
• Leadership & Culture — leading with purpose instead of pressure, building ownership not dependency  
• Motherhood & Identity — rediscovering your worth outside of titles, and allowing grace to rebuild what broke  
• Alignment Over Activity — why doing less with intention leads to more impact  

If you’re in a season of becoming — rebuilding, rediscovering, or redefining success — this episode will remind you that you’re not behind… you’re being refined.

#TheBusinessOfBecoming #FaithAndLeadership #ThingsIWishIKnewBefore30

In this episode, I’m sharing the lessons that traveling for work has taught me about leadership, motherhood, and purpose. From working in different Airbnbs and states to helping families rebuild after storms, I’ve learned that being away doesn’t make you less of a mom or leader — it just expands what “home” and “impact” can look like.

You’ll hear:

• Why we must choose purpose over guilt
• How company culture should travel with you, not stay in the office
• Why structure creates freedom — in business, home, and motherhood

Travel humbled me. It reminded me that leadership isn’t about control — it’s about connection, trusting your team, your kids, and God’s plan. I’m not leaving home; I’m expanding it — one roof, one family, one state at a time.

Leadership isn’t a title you clock in and out of — it’s who you are in business, faith, and at home. In this episode, Steffany shares what it really means to lead while living: how she earned respect in a male-dominated industry, built a culture of growth and accountability, and leads her team and family through consistency, care, and faith.

🎙️ Whether you’re building a business, raising a family, or leading from faith — this episode will remind you that real leadership starts with how you live.

Ever tried to “relax” only to realize you’re still halfway working in your mind? You’re not alone.
In this episode of The Business of Becoming, I open up about what unplugging really means — and why it’s not just about taking a break, but about reconnecting with yourself.

We’ll talk about:

• The difference between false rest and real rest
• Why leaders and moms carry so much guilt when they slow down
• How rest can actually sharpen your vision and creativity
• Practical ways to make rest a part of your weekly rhythm

This one’s for every entrepreneur, mom, and visionary who’s tired of feeling like slowing down means falling behind.
You don’t have to earn your rest — it’s the fuel for your becoming. 💫

Ever walked into a room and thought, “Who do I think I am?” You’re not alone. In this episode, I open up about my own battles with imposter syndrome and how I’ve learned to silence that voice of doubt.

We’ll talk about what imposter syndrome really is (fear dressed up as self-awareness), my first big “I don’t belong here” moment, and the practical tools I use. Most importantly, I’ll share how I turned doubt into drive, and how you can too.

If imposter syndrome has ever tried to hold you back, this conversation will remind you: you already belong.

Do you hate the idea of being pushy when it comes to sales? You’re not alone. In this episode, I share how I built a multi-million-dollar business without slick pitches or high-pressure tactics—just by focusing on service, connection, and authenticity.

Here’s what we’ll dive into:

• Reframing Sales as Service: Why helping beats convincing—and how people naturally buy from those they trust.

• Marketing as Storytelling: Simple, natural ways to stay consistent without feeling “salesy.”
• My Personal Approach: How I create curiosity and use my “3 touch rule” to market without pressure.

Marketing isn’t about shouting louder—it’s about making people feel seen, heard, and understood.
