I think one of the biggest challenges we face as mothers and just women in general is juggling IT ALL.
You know deep down that it’s got to be possible to be an excellent wife, an intentional mother, AND be successful in business...but you ask yourself HOW?
You feel overwhelmed and at CAPACITY, but want so badly to grow your business and do MORE! There never feels like enough hours in the day.
Yet at the same time...your heart YEARNS for more simplicity, more fun, more rest, more time to just enjoy the people that matter most in your life.
Again...you are overwhelmed and know that there’s got to be some way to increase your capacity and do it all WELL, while not missing out...after all, it seems like other woman are doing it, right?
Does any of this resonate with you...have you ever felt the frustration of wanting to do more, but feel puzzled by how it could be possible?
Listen, I completely understand how you feel...but I want to flip your perspective today by helping you re-define what the word CAPACITY truly means for a kingdom entrepreneur.

Last week I shared a little back story about WHY I did a 21 day food fast! It is super vulnerable and I hope that it triggers your spirit to hear what God might be speaking to you in this season.
I know that you want to walk in purpose - The purpose you were created for.
You desire to live a fulfilled life and that journey requires a lot of inner work and sacrifices that no one else sees. Spiritually this can look like FASTING!
Sometimes we fast out of obedience and let the Lord determine our WHY as we dive in, in faith ...and other times, we intentionally fast FOR A PURPOSE!
*Do you have a specific concern you’ve been praying about for what seems like forever?
*Do you have a loved one in your life that is lost and needs to be found by the love of Jesus?
*Do you have an area of your life that you feel stuck? Where you need a breakthrough?
*Do you need a physical miracle in your life?
*What specifically are you desperately needing?
I encourage you to rise up in the spirit of Esther and purify yourself, consecrate your heart, and FAST for your breakthrough!
In every situation it is the position of our heart that is most important, and fasting humbles our hearts so that God can be greater glorified!
Yes and AMEN!

Hey Mama, What are your thoughts on fasting?
I am a big advocate for intermittent fasting and fasting for great health benefits...but I can’t say I’ve done any significant fasts for spiritual reasons.
In January of this year, I was called to do a 21 day fast and I’m letting you in on all the raw details. This is PART 1 on this topic so get ready for Part 2 coming soon! There are some incredible truths I’m going to share in the next episode that I just don’t have time to talk about today.
This 21 day fast was a spiritual fast, not focused on health, so I’m speaking about it from that perspective.
Fasting is amazing for health but if I was doing this just for physical benefits...I wouldn’t have?! I wouldn’t have had the strength to complete it because I don’t think I care enough or love myself enough to keep that kind of commitment to myself.
In today’s episode, I’m going to share my story, my reasons WHY I chose to fast and let the Lord speak to you in the process.
I can’t wait for you to open your mind and get empowered in new ways, for the glory of God!

Hey mama,
At the end of last week, I told my husband “Whew, I felt like a MOM COACH all week!”
It was one of those weeks where coaching mindsets and emotions was a MUST. But it got me thinking about ONE common practice I was doing to help influence and encourage my kids during their “meltdown moments.”
Whether I’m coaching my kids, coaching a volleyball team (in previous years) or coaching a team in business...there is ONE key strategy that is absolutely GOLDEN for leveling UP your leadership game!
-You want to be a better leader?
-You want more influence and to grow your following?
-You want your kids to listen to you better and to heed your advice?
Today’s conversation will get you THINKING *hint hint
The SAME principles that will allow you to be an excellent mother as you steward your influence well...will be the same strategies that you can use to enhance your leadership with those on your team and those you work with in business.
This episode is all about the POWER - the VALUE - of teaching others how to THINK!

Hey friend...so do you want to hear a super low (slightly embarrassing) moment in my life...well just push PLAY! Lol
When you are walking in obedience; growing; and learning NEW things...there will be struggles and tests. You will feel resistance. You may even feel attacked!
Testing and struggle is inevitable on our journey! It can often leave us feeling discouraged and confused, but today we are talking about straight up TRUTH and perspective for not just understanding Tests and trials in our life but for overcoming!
We’ve got to take our THOUGHTS captive because after all, so much of the battle is in the mind...so I’m sharing some encouraging thoughts for you today as we ask ourself questions like:
💫Is the test you are facing an OPPORTUNITY because God has your best interest in mind?
💫Could it mean that God wants to bring you into something greater?
💫Does testing mean that God isn’t pleased with you? What does it reveal about His heart for us?
What is the REAL value of tests or struggles in our life?
Let’s get our eyes on HIM...as we embrace the process of purpose!
Let’s refocus our thoughts so we can run without wavering towards our greatest potential as wives, moms, and kingdom entrepreneurs!

Hey friend,
-Have you ever felt that burning desire to do something great in your life?
-That yearning to make a difference, to leave an impact, to be a force for good in the world.
-You want influence, but your following is small
-You hold big dreams in your heart, but everything in your life feels little
-You want to leave a legacy...but that word seems so far fetched…and far away
At the end of the day you just have a deep desire to be used by God!
If you’ve ever listened to The Nourishing Mompreneur Podcast, you probably resonate with this. You wouldn’t be seeking to learn and grow and pursue your greatest potential, if you didn’t feel a great CALL on your life?
It’s exciting, it’s overwhelming, and it can feel heavy to carry. It can often leave you feeling defeated too. And you ask yourself HOW?
-How do I make a difference? How do I become an influence? How do I possibly get from where I am now to where my heart wants to be?
-How do I deal, when the only tangible marker of impact seems to be the likes and follows of social media?
-Does what I do even matter? Is it even making a difference?
Join in on Today’s conversation as we cover all these questions!

Hey mama,
I think you understand that developing a business is HARD!
Motherhood is Hard
Being a wife is Hard
Relationships can be Hard
Life can just be hard at times and when we face those hard crossroads...you know, the moments where you question everything and are on the brink of giving up?
THESE are the golden opportunities to dig deep within and deep into God’s Word.
It’s very encouraging to see the journey of the Israelites - God’s CHOSEN people and what their story looked like in the Book of Joshua. It gives so much hope, encouragement, and VISION for the HARD in our life.
First, I want to encourage you to go back to episodes 10, 11...and then 19 and 20 to catch up on ALL the treasures we’ve already uncovered! These episodes are LOADED with value...not just encouragement but clear blueprints for YOUR success as a kingdom entrepreneur.
When you are pursuing business or a goal - GOD’S WAY...things often look different! So let’s learn from the battles of the Israelites in Joshua so that we can be strengthened for TODAY!
So, pull out that journal again to take some notes and grab your cup of your favorite beverage and let’s have a little podcast Bible study together!

Whenever you are crossing over into something new; looking to gain ground in business; preparing for a transition; pursuing the promises of God in your life...it is NOT easy!
Let me repeat that it is NOT easy!
There are so many battles we must face along the way and I know you feel me on this!
The good news is that YOU, my friend, are going to find a lot of encouragement in this conversation today!
So grab that cup of lukewarm coffee, kombucha, whatever...and grab your Bible and a pen to take some notes!
We’re going over 5 Key points -Biblical truths and PERSPECTIVES that will strengthen you for the inevitable battles or challenges you are going to face on your journey of growth.
- Crossing over into the promises of God...our faith walk from “glory to glory” is not a promise to be easy. You are going to have to fight battles and TAKE what is yours. You are going to have to show your faith IN ACTION.
- Remember WHO is in charge...and honor your duty as a servant. This is Biblical “warrior” status.
- Your reality is not God’s reality. If you are marching forward and working IN HIS PRESENCE... You cannot fail. You ARE victorious because He IS your success!
- You will have battles even though you are walking in and towards the promises of God. Just because you struggle doesn’t mean that God isn’t in it. Ask Him for wisdom for He gives generously.
- Set your plan and intentions, but trust God to orchestrate the details.
