You wonder, if it’s REALLY possible to be an excellent wife, an intentional mother, AND be successful in business...ALL FOR THE GLORY OF GOD?

I recently heard a mompreneur talking about work/life balance and it got me thinking about what I REALLY believe about this topic that always seems “too good to be true”
It also made me think, How SHOULD I be thinking about balance from a Biblical perspective?
Balance is a word we throw around casually and it can stir SO many emotions…good AND bad.
What I do know is that the pursuit of Balance or “work/life balance” as a busy mama always feels like a ‘GOAL’ and especially this time of year when you are doing your absolute best to get your schedule in balance for the fall…it is at the top of your mind.
But is it even possible or realistic at all?
Today, let’s get more clarity around this topic of BALANCE so that you can be empowered to know what to prioritize and find more peace in your to-do list.

I don’t know about you, but times where “shifting” takes place can be an opportunity for doubt and uncertainty and “ALL the feels” that aren’t all that positive to creep in!
I’m finding myself in the middle of a major family transition. Change is often GOOD, but for me it always brings some level of discomfort…
These are the moments where it can be easy to feel overwhelmed, lost, or even discouraged.
The Lord, in His goodness, had prompted me to take this past month and go back to re-share some podcasts that were inspired straight from my personal Bible time and journal a year ago!
I’ve been asked by several listeners to do some kind of ‘Podcast Bible Study’ recently
…SO, for those of you that would like to look to the word of God to be encouraged and rooted as YOU transition into the school year or in whatever change you’re in the midst of?
…Or if you want a bit of a spiritual reset! These next few episodes are for you!
In part 1 today, I share a fun little behind the scenes story of what it was like recording my first podcast ….eek!
I KNOW you are going to be so encouraged by today’s episode and ALL the Biblical wisdom covered from the book of Joshua!
What the Lord reminded me of thru this episode is that TRANSITION or CROSSING OVER is CONTINUAL. We need to continually be grounded in the Principles of God, because we are going to need them for success time and time again.
I can’t wait to share with you tips for how to march forward in confidence and victory...making progress in the midst of MOM LIFE!
We’re going over Simple Success strategies and STEPS for God’s warriors like YOU!
Let’s get into some Biblical Truths to Process through the Never Ending Changes of Life and Transition with Purpose!

This conversation may seem slightly premature or it may find you right on time, but trust me…I think it’s important to set this straight now, as your mama brain is just starting to tip toe into the reality that summer is almost over and the school year will be here before you know it.
I KNOW you want to keep growing and getting better and you want to feel prepared for the upcoming semester…so let’s have an honest Heart 2 heart conversation today!
I want to ask…
Have you ever been in a place where you feel nearly EVERY area of your life needs an overhaul?
Maybe Life has felt cluttered and chaotic for so long that the thought of actually making changes feels overwhelming. It just feels too hard and like too much!
…so you do what you always do - nothing, and stay stuck.
Most likely You desire change for the good, but you’re not sure where to start.
You know you need some new healthy habits to help you get your life together and your home in order; but you’ve been off track or derailed for so long. It feels super intimidating to take even small steps towards improvement.
Ultimately, You’ve failed yourself time and time again, and you don’t really trust the commitments you make to yourself anymore. You struggle to believe in yourself and the negative self talk drowns out the encouraging voices around you.
Hey friend, I SEE you and I want you to know that God sees you!
Despite how you feel, you’re not alone and you’re not going under…You just need to take ONE simple but significant step to pivot in the right direction.
In this Heart 2 Heart conversation, I want to take you by the hand (just like I did with one of my coaching clients) and tell you WHERE to start when you desire to get some healthy habits in place to make the changes
Whether you need help in one area or maybe ALL the areas that feel out of order in your life...
NOW is the perfect time to get clarity and begin to REFOCUS before the school year with a powerful practice that will get your heart aligned and cultivate peace.

Do you need a Miracle in your life?
Do you need a breakthrough in your marriage, with your children, in your business?
Do you need CLARITY on which way to go? What to do next?
We use the word Breakthrough a lot in our culture, but what I’ve learned is that true transformative and lasting breakthrough doesn’t come from trying harder.
More self development is NOT the solution.
YOU are not the secret ingredient to your miracle.
Rather, it’s the PRESENCE OF GOD that not only activates breakthrough, but precedes victory!
I can’t wait for you to listen Now, but I also want to encourage you to go back and listen to episodes 89 and 90 FIRST so it will catch you up on some previously discussed SUCCESS PRINCIPLES from the Book of Joshua.
This episode unpacks the secret to your success...to MIRACLES as you move towards your goals and pursue your greatest potential.
This passage of scripture is GOLD, as we, as christian entrepreneurs, look to the Word of God to be a “lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path.”
Keep trusting! Keep doing your part!
Praying this encourages and refocuses your heart today ~ Michelle
P.S. This is a BEAUTIFUL worship/prayer set that you can put on when you're ready to be still and seek God's presence. This has been a blessing to me and I wanted to share it with you too, as I referred to it this episode. Listen Here > https://youtu.be/QYhap63b-kw
