If you’ve said “I trust God” but still find yourself pacing at 2 AM or refreshing your business dashboard compulsively, you’re not alone.

The problem isn’t your faith—it’s that your nervous system hasn’t caught up to your theology. You’ve been treating God as a resource instead of your source.

In this video, I break down exactly why this happens and what to do about it—from both a neuroscience AND biblical perspective.

This is the framework that helped me go from burnout-induced hospitalization to building a seven-figure business that runs on rest.

The Difference Between God as a Resource vs. a Source

When you view God as a resource, He’s your backup plan. You work as if everything depends on you, then pray when things get hard. You operate in constant vigilance, checking metrics obsessively, unable to delegate, terrified of dropping the ball.

This is why you can say “I trust God” while your body is stuck in fight-or-flight mode.

When you view God as your source, you recognize Him as the creator and sustainer of your success.

This shifts how you work, plan, rest, and show up for your family. Your nervous system finally gets the message: you are safe, even when things are uncertain.

Why Your Mind Won’t Stop Racing (Even When You Stop Hustling)

When you walk away from hustle culture, you will hit this wall early.

You can rest your body, but your mind continues racing. You take breaks from work but can’t stop thinking about it. You’re glued to your laptop during family time. You feel guilty when you’re not producing.

This happens because your trust hasn’t caught up with your theology.

You believe God is trustworthy intellectually, but your body—your nervous system—hasn’t learned to operate from that trust. Your autonomic nervous system is still running the old program: “Everything depends on me. If I relax, it all falls apart.”

This is the gap between head knowledge and embodied faith. And it’s why so many entrepreneurs burn out despite praying, reading Scripture, and believing all the right things.

The Solution: Reconnecting Mind, Body, and Spirit

This is why reconnecting with God is the first phase in the 5R’s of Rest Centered Wealth.

Without establishing God as your actual source—not just in your mind, but in your body’s operating system—sustainable growth remains out of reach.

You’ll keep hustling. Keep overworking. Keep sacrificing your health, relationships, and your peace.

In this LIVE, you’ll discover:

* Why regulating your nervous system isn’t “new age”—it’s biblical (and I’ll show you exactly where Scripture reveals this)

* The five theological views on science and Scripture (and which ones actually align with embodied faith)

* How to stop worrying while still caring deeply about your business and family

* Why “hard work doesn’t collapse time” and what actually does

* The three-part process for training your body to recognize God’s voice: Recognition, Regulation, and Integration

Thank you Jraya Nicole, Seize Your Fate, Matt Sweeting, and many others for tuning into my live video with Lakrisha Davis! Join me for my next live video in the app.

Imagine making helping a company land a multi-million dollar contract.

Now, imagine them letting you go shortly after.

This is the story of Jraya Nicole, creator of Corporate to Calling.

What looked like the end turned into a groundbreaking movement showing women how to turn their brilliance into a blueprint and shift from “Corporate to Calling ™”.

She is now blazing the trail, teaching women how to make the shift from corporate to calling.

She knows firsthand the pressure of shifting careers and what it takes to embrace your calling with confidence to build success in the new space.

Have you’ve achieved success in your career, yet you feel the pull toward something more?

Do you sense the sudden disconnect, the discontent, or maybe even discouragement that whispers, ‘This isn’t where you’re meant to be.”

This is your invitation to explore what’s possible beyond the role, the title, and the company name. To hear what it looks like to step into alignment, not just achievement.

If you’ve ever asked, “Why can’t I rest from the success I’ve built?” this message is for you. The truth is, most of us were taught to build for “better”—a better life than we had, better opportunities for our children, better results than those before us.

God didn’t call me—or you—to just do better and there’s a reason why. He called you to greater.

In this episode, I break down the difference between building better and building greater, and why the reason you can’t rest from the success you’ve built. I expose why building for better only gives you temporary relief while leaving you stuck in cycles of burnout. Then I show you what it means to step into greater—God’s design for sustainable success that multiplies without costing you your peace, your health, or your family.

My Story

The Story

For years, I helped women scale their businesses to 6 and 7 figures using Market like a Mogul ® —my marketing and automation methodology .

But after burning out from success and experiencing breakdown in my health and homefront, I knew I needed a new way of building — one that didn’t cost myself or the people I love in the process.

Today, I guide high-achieving and high-impact leaders to build wealth from wholeness through my Rest-Centered Wealth™ philosophy. My work is rooted in identity recalibration, spiritual alignment with God, and building empires that don’t cost your sanity, your seed, or your spouse.

If you're ready to build from alignment, and build with God minus the grind, you're in the right place.

You’re praying.You’re fasting.You’re in the Word.

You’re meditating.You’re sitting in stillness

But heaven still feels quiet.

And you’re starting to get frustrated.

You’re not new to this. You know how to seek God. You know how to follow instruction.

You know how to hear—and build what He shows you.

So why the silence?

Here's what I see happening:

The same drive that built your empire is now creating distance in the place you need connection most.

You've shifted into a posture that makes it nearly impossible to hear God clearly.

It's so subtle you don't recognize it's happening until the methods that used to work... don't.

Take 5 minutes discover what's really blocking your ability to hear God - and how to restore the intimacy you're craving.

Hustle tried to hold me hostage today.

I had two posts gaining traction on Substack, and that familiar voice showed up: "Strike while the iron's hot! Don't lose this momentum!"

Before I knew it, I'd crafted another post, ready to capitalize on the moment. But then I caught myself.

In this real-time reflection, I share:

• The key difference between maximizing momentum and moving in fear

• How to strike while the iron's hot (without the hustle)

• The one question that helps you discern aligned action from old patterns

Sometimes when you're reading from someone who's "made it," it seems like they don't face challenges.

The truth is, we do. We just have systems in place so we don't fall backwards into old habits.

This is what rest-centered wealth building looks like in real time.

In this episode, I share a revelation from my study of Joshua 1 that completely shifted how I see success and wealth building.

This leads me to introduce the concept of rushed riches versus rested wealth - why riches rooted in rush lead to ruin, while wealth rooted in rest leads to wholeness.

I'm also considering a Rested Wealth Series that combines spiritual insights with wealth-building principles aligned with God's design.

Let me know if you'd be interested!

I recorded this audio because so many high-achieving women end up here.

I’m doing everything I know to do. I’ve invested. I’ve executed. I’ve obeyed. Why isn’t it happening? Is it me? Is it God? Is it timing?

You’ve shifted into surrender, but you still don’t know how to sit still when progress stalls. When there is a delay it triggers the itch to take back control. You may feel anxiety creeping in or discouragement starts to whisper that you're missing something.

You need to “do” something.

This a tension not many like to admit.

The battle between what’s in your hands and what belongs to God.

You’ve always been able to produce outcomes. That’s what got you here.

You know how to work. You know how to move.

But when obedience doesn’t deliver on your timeline, surrender starts to feel like stagnation.

That’s the real conversation I’m having in this audio.

It’s not just about timing, but about trusting the time you're in.

Press play when you’re ready.
