Are sales hard for you as you’re trying to start a business? Maybe you feel weird selling things in general or maybe you just don’t know how to authentically sell the products you know others will benefit from. You have this business idea and want it to be successful, but where and how to sell your products seems to the thing that’s getting in the way and keeping you from success in your business. Well today, we’re talking all about sales. In this interview, you’ll be hearing the conversation I had eith Ashley Meyer from the MOMpire Network.
She has a heart for moms and helping them run successful businesses - online and off.
In this episode, you’ll hear us talk about:
Creating authentic relationships to build a network
How moms can support other moms growing businesses while they grow their own
How referrals can be a game changer in your business
And more!
More about Ashley Meyer
As an attorney, wife, mom of 3, law firm owner, MOMpire founder, and serial entrepreneur, Ashley's passion in life is showing other moms that they can build a business they love without sacrificing themselves or their family.
She started MOMpire on a whim when she was kicked out of a Mom Facebook group because business didn't belong there. She knew there were other moms who longed to love motherhood, but still do business. She created a home for moms to build deep connections, true friendships, and authentic referral partnerships, leading to profitability without exhaustion. Ashley truly believes that community is the best, most sustainable way to grow a business that you love while supporting the life you dream about.

As we head into Easter weekend, we're reminded of the amazing gift Jesus gave us through His death and resurrection. The gift of eternal salvation.
But what if I told you there was more there? That while we definitely have eternal salvation as Christians, we also have freedom- now. In this life. Today.
There's so much to that Jesus gave us through this Gift. It has implications for every single aspect of our lives from motherhood to business to simply dealing with the chaos life seems to be riddled with, but many Christians are missing the full magnitude of what Jesus gave us.
Join me for this episode as we talk about the amazing gifts that Jesus gave us through His sacrifice so that we can live abundantly now - not just after death.
When you fully grasp this and see the power in it, it will give an extra layer of meaning to the gift of the blood of Jesus.

Are you an artist by heart but doubt if you could ever really make a career out of it? Maybe you’re creative and would love to get paid to make things, but it doesn’t feel like it’s important.
In this episode, we are talking with Amy Kavelaris about her journey of following her calling to be an artist and how she uses her art to not only follow her calling to be a present mom but also to share the love of Jesus with families everywhere.
Even if you’re not an artist, Amy’s story of following God at each step of her journey will motivate you to keep seeking God and following Him - even when you can’t see where it’s leading.
As a mom of 3 little ones, an artist, and an author, Amy talks about how she manages to get it all done while still prioritizing her kids.
I know you're going to love hearing all the nuggets of wisdom Amy has to offer, and I hope you'll be inspired by her story of following God one step at a time to end up using her love of art to do His work.
Amy Kavelaris Bio
Amy is an artist, designer and entrepreneur who has been capturing nature’s beauty since she was old enough to hold a pencil. Captivated most by the study of light, Kavelaris vividly recalls sketching and writing poetry while sitting in a tree overlooking a lake as a child. Now her work can be spotted in Target, Walmart, Anthropologie, Altar’d State, Better Home & Gardens as well as in homes around the globe. She has collaborated with countless brands, including Skechers Shoes and Pampers Diapers, and served as a judge for the Miss America Foundation. Her impressionistic, bohemian style merges with her painterly whimsy.
Kavelaris’ painting style for children is showcased on every page of her latest book Good Morning, Little One: New Mercies and Prayers to Carry You Through the Day — whimsical & playful with a touch of bohemian elements that invites viewers into a charming and delightfully elegant experience.
Amy and her husband live in the Midwest with their three small girls.
See her art at bloomprintsstudio.com and @amykavs on Instagram.

Do you want to grow in your relationship with God, but you feel like you never have enough time to do it? Life just feels busy with trying to grow your business, be a good mom and wife, and manage your home. In todays’ episode, I’m going to give you 5 simple ways to spend time with God even if you don't have time.
Keeping your eyes and heart on Jesus is our goal, but the hustle and bustle of life doesn’t always make it easy. So often we can get distracted by everything on our to-do list and all the little (or big) fires we are putting out daily. As you’re growing your business, you know that you want to be walking in faith and you want to be walking in the direction God is leading you, so having that strong walk with Him is key.

With Valentine’s day coming up, I wanted to take the opportunity to do an episode about love but we’re not talking about romantic love. Instead, we are going to talk about loving yourself the way God does and why this is so important for your success as an entrepreneur.
So in today’s episode, we are going to be going straight to the Bible to see what God has to say about how He sees you and how to use that information to combat imposter syndrome no matter when it tries to resurface and stop you as you are stepping into your calling. I’m going to share with you the 3 steps I use so that you can overcome imposter syndrome and fully step in your calling.
Join me as we talk about each of these and how they are critical for your success as an entrepreneur.

Today, we're going to be talking about what to do when you need provision (aka money), but you’re just not seeing it happen. Your business just isn’t making the money you need and it can leave you scratching your head wondering why God’s not following through.
But what if I told you that God has been providing, but you just missed it?
That all of the worry and doubt was for nothing.
In today’s episode, I’m going to share with you 4 steps to open your eyes to God's provision and help you experience God’s provision and love in a whole new way.
These steps led me to a renewed passion for my business and confidence that it will all be ok and that peace of mind was huge. I hope these steps can do the same for you.
Here are the steps we’ll get into:
Get honest about your financial situation.
Recognize that doing something besides your calling doesn’t mean you are giving up.
Start being open to other ways God has provided for you to make an income.
Do a heart check and see if you’re resisting what He’s showing you.
Join me as we talk about each of these and how they are so important for your success as an entrepreneur and fully stepping into the calling God has given you.

Are you wondering why your business isn’t doing as well as you want or maybe even need? Maybe you find yourself asking: “Am I doing something wrong or maybe God never called me to this in the first place and I should just give up?” I feel you and have been there. Today I'm going to share some key thoughts that can really make it clear why your business might not be where you want it to be and help you start making some changes so you see some positive shifts in your life and in your business.
Success comes in doing what God has called you to do, so if you don’t walk the path He’s taking you on because when you give up before you’ve even gotten started, then you’ll miss out on the amazing things He has planned for us. So today, I’m going to be sharing 6 key thoughts that you can adopt to keep you from giving up even when things feel like they aren’t working.
These 6 key mindset shifts are:
Know that God will only give you what you can handle.
God will work with you.
You can’t remain the same if you want to step into something new.
Prayer and action are both required.
It doesn’t happen overnight. This is a journey.
Don’t lose faith in God’s vision for you.
Join me as we talk about each of these and how they are critical for your success as an entrepreneur and fully stepping into the calling God has given you.

If you haven’t picked a word of the year or intention of the year yet, then you probably either haven’t gotten around to it (it can feel like a lot of pressure to decide) or you might be in the camp of not really getting the whole point of picking a word/intention.
I totally get that because that was me for years. It felt like some trendy thing to do to pick a word of the year because every new year, you’ll hear people talking about their word of the year.
But this year, I have a whole new perspective on this and I wanted to share it with you in case you’re not so sure of it yourself.
In this episode, we’re going to talk about:
What it means to pick a yearly intention
How your intention affects your word of the year
Why we should definitely have a word of the year as Christian entrepreneurs
The importance of picking a word of the year definitely changed for me this year and I hope that I’ve convinced you to pick one for yourself.
Write it down and put it somewhere that you can see and remind yourself what it is. Take it a step further, and find a Bible verse that supports your word. This will remind you that not only is a word that inspires you but God supports it as well.
I’d love to hear what your word of the year is. Share it over in the Mama With a calling FB group or take it to the next level by using this as a chance to start a conversation with your audience by posting it on Instagram. Share your word, why you chose it in relation to how it’s going to help you serve your audience this year. Tag me at @mamawithacalling and I’ll share it on my stories.

This episode is going to wrap up the boundaries series. We’ve learned what boundaries are, how they can affect your business and life and how they affect productivity as an entrepreneur. Now the final question to wrap up the series is: How do you actually create boundaries that are strong and live this out?
It’s one thing to talk about it conceptually, but how do you actually put these ideas into practice to see the positive impact in your life and business?
There are 2 simple, but not necessarily easy, steps:
Identify the areas in your life and business that need extra attention with boundaries
Know what God’s word says and let that foundation strengthen your boundaries.
Join me in this episode as I share how to do these steps so that you can really apply this to your life and start to see an impact in your business by focusing on boundaries.
