Happy New Year, everyone! As I wrap up 2025, I’m reflecting on the raw and transformative lessons that shaped my business and faith, from the gut-wrenching necessity of hard endings to the surprising peace found in saying "no" to scaling. I’m getting vulnerable about why I walked away from a high-level mastermind to prioritize being a mom and how I’ve learned to navigate the "people-pleaser" trap by implementing radical boundaries. Whether you’re a leader facing a tough confrontation or a high-capacity woman feeling the weight of "more," this episode is an invitation to stop conforming to the world's pace and start leaning into the specific, anointed path God has for you in the coming year.
The "Faith to Quit": Why ending a partnership, a program, or even a successful project isn't a sign of failure, but a prerequisite for the next fruitful season God has for you.
The Contentment Trap: We’re often told that "more" is always better, but I’m sharing the specific moment I realized that scaling my business was actually stealing my joy—and why I told my business coach I’d rather "go color" with my kids.
The Secret Language of Resentment: How to identify where your boundaries are leaking and why your feelings of burnout might actually be a roadmap to where you need to draw a harder line in your home and business.
Leadership as Confrontation: Why loving people well sometimes means having the backbone to let them go, and how "graceful endings" can produce the most fruit in someone’s life.
