As I share about my life in the Chicago suburbs with my husband, three kiddos, and our blended-family shenanigans (i.e. working on product launches, color-coding everything, date-night adventures, juggling remote learning, and a whole lotta Jesus)

Sweet friendships refresh the soul and awaken our Sweet friendships refresh the soul and awaken our hearts with joy, for good friends are like the anointing oil that yields the fragrant incense of God's presence - Proverbs 27:9

I never had many friends growing up - especially other women. 

Im still a bit of socially awkward person and consider myself an extroverted introvert. 

But God has a funny way of bringing the women around you, at just the right time, in just the right season, even when you didn't know you needed it.

There is a running inside joke that the very first time I met @averyforrest_ during a group strategy call that I told her "she wasn't ready for me" when she asked when the right time would be to hire a strategist - truth is, I wasn't ready for her and needed her more than she needed me.

God knew it - and reintroduced us via Clubhouse several months later - I instantly knew I needed more of whatever she was doing. 

Over the last year, we've grown as more than a mentor-mentee relationship, we've grown as friends, we've sharpened each other, and she's reminded me exactly what it means to let Jesus’s light shine through you.

It's because of her that I have been able to connect with other Christian women - the ones who are cheering me as this podcast launches.

Tap right to read all the beautiful words they've written then tell me in the comments about someone who has refreshed your soul 👇🏻

As Christian female entrepreneurs we wear A LOT of As Christian female entrepreneurs we wear A LOT of hats, A LOT of things to steward everyday, A LOT of random things on our mind.

The last thing I wanted to do was add more to the noise, but as my good friend and fellow strategist @annie.rohde reminded me - our God-given message isn’t noise its music.

If we are responding in obedience to a calling He has given us we should be amplifying that NOT stifling it.

This podcast is sooo much more than showing you marketing strategies that are rooted in biblical truth…

Its about the women who is struggling to grow or scale her business while honoring God in the process.

Its about silencing those rambling thoughts and noise that fills our heads because we fill it with His voice.

Its about getting both the strategies and scripture you need to move you forward in a short, actionable and accessible way.

Our first attempt at anything is never the best on Our first attempt at anything is never the best one but every attempt will be perfect in its own way.

This is the reminder I often need when creating a new thing or making an attempt at something Ive never done before.

A few days after our daughter received her first cell phone she dropped it and shattered the screen. 

When we discussed what she could do to earn the money for a new one she was determined to bake something.

So we spent a some time developing her elevator pitch, outlining the offer, and creating a tracking sheet for orders.

She quickly realized how complicated it would be to “just bake & sell something” and realized how important a mentor (like her bonus mom) was to have by her side during the process.

Each batch we made was better than the last. Each batch we learned something about the process - about ourselves.

As we set out to finish delivering 21 boxes of homemade brownies- I am humbled. 

Humbled by this reminder that nothing is ever “perfect”but when we trust the process and call on other people to help us beautiful things happen.

How are you spending Valentine’s Day? Have you done something new recently?
Receiving feedback can be scary, intimidating, ove Receiving feedback can be scary, intimidating, overwhelming, paralyzing even.

But if we take a moment to reframe it as “data” or “research” then it could also be something that lifts you up and helps you rise.

This photo, unknowingly to me since my back is to the camera, was taken the opening night of the 2021 @christianbusinesscamp - the sweet lady talking to me was telling me how incredible my digital offer blueprint was and how she couldn’t wait to hear about it in my workshop.

I was stunned. 

Especially since I had no intention of talking about it in my workshop - it was my free download for everyone who attended but I had buried it so deep into my presentation Id probably need to cut it out.

This conversation changed my workshop and the impact I had on the women at the conference.

After this moment, we had a worship session where God confirmed I was going down the wrong road and wasn’t doing what he called me to do in this season. He broke me in ways I wasn’t expecting and this conversation prepared my heart for what was coming next.

Had I never given my Uplift mastermind sisters my blueprint for feedback this conversation would have never existed.

But I also could have choosen to do nothing about it.

When we get feedback or ask for feedback it’s important to do three things:

1. Ask yourself how this feedback can be valuable. Sometimes the answer is, not really. Like when someone tells you to go move around a few commas.

2. Take that feedback to God. Pray on it and ask Him if its true - if he sees you in this way too. People have a way of addressing the things that make us most uncomfortable but isn’t always feedback - this can also be distraction.

3. Ask Him to help you discern what to do with it. Sometimes you need to collect data and other times you need to take action.

Feedback is crucial to growth but we don’t (and shouldn’t) determine our value based on it. 

Our validation comes from God, not people.

Lord, if this is your will, put a light at my feet Lord, if this is your will, put a light at my feet and show me the steps.

January hit us pretty hard.

- Rona
- Refrigerator broke
- Car alternator broke
- More Im sure Ive forgotten at this point

Whatever savings we had - is gone. Whatever we had been working toward - is back at the starting line.

But as much as we were pushed down, God showed up. 

He’s put some big dreams and plans on our heart for 2022.

And every single one of them will only happen if its in his timing, and how he sees it happening.

This weekend I found myself frustrated when the path I thought he put us on was blocked. I realized, it wasnt the path that was wrong, it was my perspective, the method we were using to get there.

Once I surrendered all control to Him, it all become clear. 

Has this happened to you recently? What did you surrender?
