When “doing less” feels like not enough

Hey sis, The other day I found myself overly emotional driving home from library time with my baby girl. It was a Friday, my schedule was wide open, and instead of feeling rested, I felt… un-useful. Almost like I hadn’t done anything “productive.” Right now, I’m in a season where God has asked me to lay down my real estate business (I only take referrals now) and make room for something new He’s placing on my heart. But until that unfolds, most of my days look like dishes, laundry, cooking dinner, swim lessons, library trips, and caring for my little one. And if I’m honest? As a high-achieving Christian woman entrepreneur, that shift hit me hard. The inner hustler in me felt purposeless, confused, and totally out of rhythm. But on Day 12 of my 100 Days of Believing Bigger journey, God met me with a fresh reminder from Ephesians 2:10: Sis, that means even the unseen work, even the quiet work, even the “small” things—are still good works when God prepared them for us. This truth gave me so much peace, and I share more about it in this week’s podcast episode. If you’ve ever felt stuck, purposeless, or like your season doesn’t “measure up,” I pray this conversation encourages you the way it encouraged me. Tune in below. P.S.

Hey Reader, There’s something about July that brings a sense of newness, pace, and expectation. Like the prayers you’ve prayed at the beginning of the year have been sizzling in God’s ear, prepping to meet you in the summer and dramatically change your life right before the colder months roll in (is it just me?). This sense of newness captured me as I begged my husband to allow my daughter and me to become plant moms and get this beautiful hanging porch flower plant (idk if that's what...
Reader, We're officially in June. It's 10:30 pm as I write this. And I can't help but crave an unhurried, unrushed, simpler lifestyle. I'm still fresh off a 16-hour drive from New York to Milwaukee after an extended stay in New York for 2 months. I crammed a week's worth of work into 5 hours, and just finished reading Open the Barn Door for the 18th time (a little exaggeration here) to my baby girl. I am burnt out. As I reflect on what's on my plate, what needs to be taken off, safeguarded,...
Hey Reader, We’re already 5 months into the year… how are you really doing? I know I haven’t been in your inbox much lately. I’ve been deep in the weeds of building out this nonprofit agency, and if I’m honest, this season has stretched me. There have been multiple times where I came close to securing a government contract, only for it to fall through. And each time, I found myself going back to God asking Him to open the door, send the opportunity, or make a way. But recently, I felt the...
