Hey friend, welcome back to The Surrender Driven Success Podcast! Do you absolutely LOVE being a wife and a mom, but something in you desires MORE? Do you have dreams in your heart and the drive to pursue work “outside of motherhood” despite ALL the hats you wear at home? But you ask yourself HOW? How can I prioritize my family AND do the things I feel called to do without sacrificing one or the other? How can I grow as an entrepreneur without hurting my family? 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? Hi, my name is Michelle and as a wife of 17 years, a homeschooling mama of 5, and a kingdom entrepreneur, I know how you feel! Every bit of it. -I know you wish EVERYDAY that there were more hours in the DAY. -I know that the “Mom Guilt” whispers in your ear far too often. -I know that you would love to know the secret to overcoming the frustration of CONSTANT interruptions so that you could get more done. -You crave less distractions and more SIMPLICITY….More order in the home, but more fun experiences OUTSIDE the home…more connection with your family and less “BUSY.” -Above all, you wish that whatever season you are in and whatever hat you are wearing, you could just find PEACE… A peace rooted in your faith, so secure that you could NOT be shaken! You are NOT alone. I’m SO thankful you’re here to join me on this journey of processing life TOGETHER and growing in greater purpose, as fellow business minded mamas with a heart for home and a love for Jesus. I truly believe that “the MOST important work you will ever do is within the walls of your home.” Do believe that too? ...then let’s get our hearts NOURISHED and our minds EMPOWERED so that we can pursue our greatest potential by pursuing Jesus FIRST. I know how precious your time is, so on this podcast we’re going to go deep as we embrace SURRENDER driven SUCCESS; gain Biblical PERSPECTIVE for everyday life, and learn practical tips to experience more PEACE in the midst of balancing work AND family. But even more than that, let’s intentionally pave the way for our children’s future while we build ours. Let’s explore how to connect the work of our hands with our influence at home so that we can leave a lasting legacy through the next generation! Friend, God’s dreams for your life are better than yours so you can let go and trust. It starts in your heart and it starts in your home and FROM THERE… I believe you can create that impact and income you’ve always dreamed of.

Are you feeling a wave of change in your heart, but you're having trouble making sense of it?
Maybe you're doing the things you've always done...following your plans and strategically moving towards your goals...BUT doubt is creeping in?
Maybe the WAY you've been going about your life and business feels "off"...like something isn't lining up?
Maybe you're at a crossroads moment and are trying to get clarity on WHAT to Build? Where to go from here?
I understand those feelings and in fact THIS podcast conversation is me jumping off the ledge of fear in my own mind so that I can depend fully on God…pursuing the more SIMPLE.
I know the journey may be messy, but I'm going to keep going for it and I believe that I have a word for you today as YOU keep pressing on too!
No matter what your season, let's find freedom to shift From building “kingdom” to building “family” because your YES of surrender is going to bring forth the breakthrough that you could NEVER achieve on your own!
I’m here for it! ~ Michelle

Are you often overcome with insecurity or frustration when scrolling social media?
Are you in the habit of constantly putting yourself down or criticizing how you look?
Do you feel a sense of shame or “I’m not good enough” when you look at other moms?
Are you triggered to jealousy when you see all the great accomplishments or “big followings” that other business mamas seem to have?
…or maybe just wish you had what she had - that marriage, that home, those kids?
There are SO many ways that COMPARISON can rear its ugly head and affect how we feel and think, but one thing's for sure …we ALL have to fight it.
Today I have a special guest, Bethany Beal, on the podcast to talk about the topic of comparison…because friends, SHE (whoever She is) is NOT your MOM petition!
We talk about things like
-the value of diversity in our homes and with others because the truth is…being different is BEAUTIFUL!
-Why standing up against comparison is important for the sake of our children.
-the BEST strategy for breakthrough from a Biblical Perspective, when you are struggling to measure up.
…AND SO MUCH MORE
This is a fun and fast paced conversation so Buckle up and Open Up your Heart!

A topic of conversation that the Lord has been having with me is about IDENTITY and the importance of knowing who we are in these times we are living.
This is the only way we can respond RIGHT is if we can SEE rightly…so I want to initiate this conversation with you today.
Did you know that today, March 16th is Purim?
…this is a holiday or feast day found in the Bible.
I believe that there is beauty and significance in remembering and celebrating the feasts of the Bible, but unlike Passover…Purim may be something you haven’t heard about before?
Basically, it’s all about the story of Esther…which is why I love this Biblical holiday so much and want to form some of our podcast conversation around this inspiring story this week!
If you’ve been feeling OVERWHELMED by the chaos in the world
If you’ve been feeling beat down by the challenges in YOUR world
If you’ve been wavering and floundering inside trying to navigate all the unknowns
Let’s get RE ROOTED in our identity in Christ so that we can stand firm and courageous NOW and in the days to come.
This conversation is LOADED and heartfelt and I believe timely!. So pray for wisdom to open up your ears to whatever the Lord wants to speak to you and push PLAY on today’s podcast episode.

I want to continue my conversation with Hannah Taylor - the girl who’s been living with me for the past 2 months - so that you can grasp more of the heart of hospitality!
This conversation was so special and RICH and we talked about questions like?
What does it look like to stay flexible and adaptable with JOY as you surrender your home to love others well?
How can you feel at Home and plant your roots wherever you find yourself living or whatever season you are in?
What does hospitality look like in other countries of the world FIRST HAND?
How can Breaking up our compartmentalized lives allow God to break through to OTHERS and create a lasting impact?
I know this conversation will both CHALLENGE you and BLESS you…and I can’t wait for you to listen!
Together, Let’s be more intentional about cultivating relationships not only with the people IN our home, but bringing in those outside the home.
No matter how you feel, You have so much to offer! You can confidently welcome others as you are and TRUST WHO God is within you.

When I say the word HOSPITALITY
or When someone asks if you would host an event
or there’s the need or expectation to have someone over for dinner
or someone spontaneously wants to stop by….
how does that make you feel?
I’m not sure how these situations may trigger you, but I can say that in the past I have been very BURNT OUT on hospitality when it comes to others visiting or staying with me or even hosting dinners. 🤷🏽♀️
Today’s conversion MATTERS because your HOME matters.
The culture you create matters and the lives you touch IN and THROUGH your home MATTER. There is a bigger vision than the “world” you are consumed with (meaning all the things that make up your personal life and take up your calendar)
I get it - more than you know- the challenge with finding the capacity to invite others into your life when you already feel FULL to the brim.
HOWEVER, this past year has been a huge change for me as I’ve opened up my heart to gathering with others FACE to FACE on a weekly and intentional basis.
I’ve not only been learning the VALUE and BLESSING of hospitality, but things went to a whole new level when I ended up having an unexpected guest live with me for the past 2 months.
Romans 12:13 "When God’s people are in need, be ready to help them. Always be eager to practice hospitality."
Well, I had that house guest, my sweet friend Hannah, on the podcast with me this week to talk about how this came about; what this experience has been like, and what we’ve been learning when it comes to hospitality.
If you desire greater influence and impact and to really be the change you wish to see in the world from a Biblical perspective…open up your heart to this conversation today and see what the Lord may want to speak to you.

Are you tired of constantly feeling like you’re in “figure it out mode”?
…Of trying to solve problems and put out fires and adjust to ALL that life throws at you?
Do you crave consistency and lack of CHANGE?
…just ONE moment of COMFORT please! lol
Well, I get it and my personality craves consistency, stability, and having a plan. I love to feel in control and change is often exhausting because I’m a “processor.” 🤷♀️
Where others can just blow with the wind and are naturally super flexible…some personalities have to PROCESS that change deeper and slower. I’m that girl, lol
SOO as always, I’m coming from a place of humility in this week’s podcast conversation while speaking from my heart and from my experience.
One thing is CERTAIN in this life and that is CHANGE is inevitable and as the saying goes…“The only thing that is constant is CHANGE”
Change is a part of life.
It doesn’t necessarily make it easier, but I have learned and am learning to EMBRACE living in a place of “figure it out” mode because this is reality and there is actually SO much good to glean from this space.
Today, let’s talk about how you can find purpose and feel empowered as you stay on your toes with all the ebbs and flows in your business, the seasons of life, you keep up with the growth in your children, and manage the unexpected circumstances that come your way.
At any given time there is going to be SOMETHING that you are going to need to figure out fresh…so let’s talk about 8 reasons why “figure it out mode” IS A BLESSING!
P.S. I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!
Are you needing a breakthrough as you pursue your dreams, journey in your faith, lead your family well, and balance it ALL?
Let’s connect more deeply through customized conversations as we build our businesses while building our family ALL for the glory of God!

Hey Friends…today’s podcast is going to be important because here on The Nourishing Mompreneur Podcast we are taking a little “pivot.”
Trust me…this is going to be an amazing thing but I’m going to genuinely need your help so that I can help YOU in return.
I believe these conversations are going to become even richer; because you’re not only going to feel more connected in a personal way, but you’re going to get more of the specific support that you need on your journey in ALL the things - faith, marriage, motherhood, business, and just balancing it ALL.
For today, I want to let you into the “behind the scenes” of my heart so that you know where I’ve been with the podcast, where we’re going, and why you can be excited for all that is to come!
It’s gonna be good…so let’s get into it!

As you heard in last week’s podcast, my Nourishing Cupcake business journey has been quite the EVOLUTION. I can say that things are getting SWEETER on the back end side of things.
It is a different experience to involve my girls. In some ways much harder because it requires more patience as you can imagine.
But ultimately, there is so much joy in teaching and training my children in this sweet little business endeavor.
There is so much more purpose now that I can pass on the mindsets, heartsets, and SKILLSETS of entrepreneurship to the next generation - for me, that’s my beautiful daughters!
My desire is to lead by example and help my daughters use the work of their hands to give God glory in all they do.
TODAY…I want to share with you FIVE business and life coaching lessons…all inspired by cupcakes.
When I got in the kitchen with my daughter to bake and began to review the process with her, there were some valuable success principles that popped up and I wanted to share with you so that YOU can be reminded of them as you build your business and build your family.

Hey mama,
Are you feeling discouraged in your business?
Do you feel like it’s one step forward, two steps back…or like you constantly have to start and stop again because LIFE and MOTHERHOOD get in the way?
Do the interruptions and DISTRACTIONS feel impossible to overcome?
I truly get ALL of it and the frustration of not being able to move in the way and at the pace that you desire.
As I wrapped up a busy week of pouring into my business in a “massive momentum” kind of way…it reminded me of some truths about Balance and Consistency as I reflect on my own experience through the years.
The JOURNEY when it comes to balancing business/entrepreneurship in the midst of motherhood may bring some struggles but it doesn't have to stop you!
I simply want to share with you a little of my business journey specifically when it comes to The Nourishing Cupcake and in the process bring YOU some powerful truths and sprinkles of encouragement that you can grab hold of and RUN with as you STAY the COURSE.
