Do you find yourself angry, agitated or really stressed when it comes to your business? You may ask yourself why you’re so irritable all the time since you became an entrepreneur? Isn’t this supposed to be fun and exciting?
Maybe you feel like you’re really sensitive about people asking you about it or challenging you on business ideas. Or do you feel like you can’t work as much as you want because people interrupt you and don’t seem to take your business seriously.
I have been there and I can 100% say that it doesn’t have to be that way.
In this episode, we’re going to talk about boundaries and how they show up in your business and life, and why they’re important.
Here’s a hint: being angry, agitated, etc is often a sign that a boundary is being crossed. So knowing about boundaries and how to set healthy boundaries in your business and life can really reduce your stress level.
This episode is going to be a game-changer if you struggle with being confident in what you’re doing and really being sure of yourself. For most entrepreneurs, they don’t even know that boundaries are a factor or an issue. It’s like the hidden culprit behind your stress and mental drama that comes up as you’re trying to embrace being an entrepreneur and a mom. This episode can give some insight into this key area and what you can do to fix it because if you don’t, then it can have you questioning if you should be in business if it makes you so irritable and stressed all the time.

If you’ve started your online business but haven’t seen many sales or gained much traction with it, you might be questioning if you should just quit and go back to working full time. Or maybe you’re considering pivoting your business focus to see if that helps.
What do you do when you quit your job and commit to a business that doesn’t seem to be going anywhere?
The reason you’re still doing it is because you thought you heard God tell you that this was your thing. That He wanted you to start a business and you were going to make a big impact in the lives of others and change your own life in the process.
In this episode, we’re going to talk about how to reignite your faith in God and His vision for you and your business as we look at Haggai 2:3-4; 2:8-9.
Looking for more support and accountability to keep you on track and focused on God as you grow your business? Then you’re invited to join the new Mama With a Calling membership community.
This is where you’ll be empowered to keep going strong in your business and fortified to resist any temptation to quit or get sidetracked with worldly pursuits like fame. You’ll get Christian business and life coaching, Christian mindset training, accountability, and support.
For Black Friday, you can get in at only $15/month with this founding members price. It won’t be this low again. There will be Action Taker bonuses as well for the first 10 people to join. Go to mamawithacalling.com/blackfriday to learn more.
I hope this encourages you this week as you’re pursuing your calling.

At some point in your business, you start to have a ton of ideas for how to reach and serve your ideal client. But the ideas flow so fast that you might not have the ability to turn around and create content around these ideas.
Ideas are great, but they don’t do much good if they get forgotten because they’re in a notebook somewhere.
In this episode, we are going to talk about:
Why these ideas are important
Two main things you need to do to manage these ideas
Being a good steward doesn’t only apply to money. It can apply to anything God gives you, including ideas.
I hope this episode encourages you to be a better steward of the ideas God has given you.

Do you ever wonder if anyone is listening? Is anyone really affected by the work you’re doing?
It can feel very frustrating to keep putting all of this effort into your business yet feel like you’re talking into the abyss. If you just knew that someone was out there being affected or impacted, then it feels like it would make the journey so much easier! You’d happily create content and products to serve people if you had the certainty that they were actually on the other side.
But what about when you’re not seeing that?
Does that mean you should give up or that you’re doing something wrong?
In this episode, I want to talk about how to handle this as an entrepreneur and how to reframe it as a Christian entrepreneur doing this business for God. We talk about 3 perspective shifts you can make to really change how you see this lack of response.
If you’re needing extra support working through struggles you’re facing as you pursue your calling, book a free breakthrough session. This is perfect for getting a solution in one specific area. Or buy a Power Hour session for 60 minutes of 1:1 coaching and I can help you work through what’s holding you back so you can break free of that to move forward.
I hope this encourages you this week.
If you’re looking for more accountability and support as you grow your business and want to strengthen your faith in the process, then you don’t want to miss this Black Friday offer.

Do you know when things just feel off about your business? You have that unsettled feeling of not really being sure that what you’re doing is the right thing or the best option right now. It’s when you seek clarity. As entrepreneurs, we can feel like we don’t have clarity a lot. What business should I pursue? Should I offer this product or that? Etc.
If we think about it, what we’re really looking for when we say we want clarity is we want peace.
When you realize that, you can see that as Christians, we have access to an amazing gift. We have the Holy Spirit to lead and guide us in the ways God wants us to go. He gives us peace and understanding.
In this episode, I’m going to share with you 5 simple steps for getting clarity and finding the peace you’re seeking in your business. Using these steps, you will be able to keep aligning yourself with where God wants you to be on your entrepreneurship journey.
To help you, I’ve created a free guide that walks you through the steps I talked about here and has some pages for you to do the journaling and really dive into what God is telling you so you can get more clarity.

Is your group of friends really that important for your business success? Short answer is yes.
Today we’re going to be talking about relationships in the form of community.
You might think that sounds unrelated to running a business but actually, it’s very important.
The people you surround yourself with, the community you’re a part of, can have a big impact on how you handle the ups and downs of entrepreneurship and even things like which business model you choose and how you do business in general.
In today’s episode, we’re going to talk about the importance of finding the right kind of community, how to choose what’s right for you, and the negative effects if you don’t.
Bible passage for this episode: 1 Tim 4:11-16

Today we’re going to be talking about making money doing something that’s not “your calling” or your business.
There’s a common mistake in thinking around this that can cause you to stumble as you pursue your calling.
While God has indeed given you a calling and you should pursue that, if we fixate on that calling and only doing things that align with it, then we can lose sight of other things that God has called us to do and Biblical principles that we should follow.
You may easily find yourself in a mindset cycle between desperation and idleness. Both of these create a panic and a fixation on money and fuel a scarcity mindset making it hard to focus on your business in a way that’s healthy. Instead, everything revolves around money including your business choices and you become stressed and irritable with your family as well.
And the crazy thing is, this all makes sense when we start to lose sight of how God views work and money or maybe we never really knew.
That’s what I want to share with you today.
In this episode, I am going to share with you what the Bible says about working, providing for yourself, having a job unrelated to your calling, and how you can apply this to your life right now.
As I went through this myself, I was really surprised to see this as I studied God’s word. Most of all, it gave relief and clarity to my actions. No more guilt and shame around working or not working when I could finally get clear on how God sees things. His word is a guide for us in everything and I hope you get clarity and peace from this lesson today.

Pursuing your calling is an amazing journey but it isn’t always easy. Along the way, God has to refine you as you become the person He needs you to be to do the things He wants you to do.
In the online space, you hear a lot to “Only do what makes you happy” or “You don’t have to put up with stress” but God does things a little differently.
In today’s episode, we’re going to talk about why discomfort is actually really important in accomplishing what God has in store for you (and no, it’s not a “harder is holier” message).
You will have joy and peace beyond all understanding, but it doesn’t mean there won’t be things that are hard. It might be scary to do what God is asking you to do. Each step brings up all sorts of uncomfortable emotions. In that moment, you have a decision to pivot or meet that discomfort head-on.
If we let the emotions lead us and always choose the comfortable, then we’ll never come out on the other side changed and better for it (See James 1:2-4)
When there’s discomfort, this often represents an underlying lie that we are believing. The discomfort can show itself as anger, frustration, worry, etc. But really, if you look deeper, you might find that worry is there because you aren’t truly trusting in God to provide, protect and lead you.
When you face the discomfort and go deeper, you can see what God is wanting to uncover in you so He can help you see it in a new light by applying His word and His truth to it so you can be free from its grip on you.
This is how you get a breakthrough.
This is when God shows you the thing that’s been holding you back and now you’re able to move forward empowered with the Truth instead of operating in a lie.
And now you’re able to move forward in your calling.
This is a key part of your journey with God as you step into your calling.
I hope this encourages you this week.
If you’re looking wanting extra support in this area, book a free breakthrough session with me. No obligation to purchase any additional coaching. These free calls are really there to provide you support with one area so you can have a breakthrough and keep pursuing the calling God has given you.
Go to www.mamawithacalling.com/coaching to book that.

As you start down the road of pursuing the calling God has given you, you will find that there is a lot of opposition from different people in your life.
As you try to start a business, people will try to talk you out of it because you have this degree or that job and why would you “give that up?”.
As you really get serious about wanting to quit your job, people will start challenging why you’re even wanting to do this. What about the money and insurance?
Then as you’re finally living that life of being an entrepreneur and mom, you find opposition in new ways. Keep your kids at home. No, you should work every day and put them in daycare. Do business this way or that way. You can’t teach it that way. You’re wrong.
And most have good intentions but some don’t.
Either way, if you’re not prepared for the opposition that’s in store, then you may never fully experience what God intends for you.
In this episode, you’ll hear how to stand strong in the face of opposition as a Christian. We will take inspiration from the first chapters of Galatians.
