  • 006: The Biggest Mistakes We See New Entrepreneurs Make (and How to Avoid Them)
    Nov 5 2025

    Running a business doesn’t have to mean constant hustle, overwhelm, or insecurity.

    In this episode, we’re sharing the biggest mistakes we’ve seen women make at every stage, including a few we’ve learned the hard way - things that waste time, drain energy, or pull us away from what really matters.

    We’ll talk about how to work with focus, build healthy rhythms, and create a business that fits your real life.

    We’ll cover:

    • Trying to sell before you’ve built a real community
    • Building your life around your business instead of the other way around
    • Copying what works for someone else instead of finding what fits you
    • Believing God will “just make it happen” instead of learning a real strategy
    • Forgetting that your capacity changes with your season

  • 005: How to Create Content That Connects (Even When You’re Out of Words)
    Oct 29 2025

    It’s easy to overthink content and freeze up in front of the blank screen. But content doesn’t have to be complicated. We just overthink it.

    In this episode, we’ll talk about how to take the pressure off your content, share one real piece of your bigger story, and post in a way that actually connects.

    We’ll cover:

    • The difference between social content, free content, and paid content
    • How to simplify your message without watering it down
    • Three core buckets: Relatable, Helpful, and Vision
    • Why consistent, human connection beats a perfect plan

  • 004: How to Build a Business Without Burnout (Faith + Strategy That Works)
    Oct 22 2025

    Burnout isn’t a badge of honor — it’s a warning sign. Too many women build their businesses at a pace that costs them peace, sleep, or connection.

    In this episode, we’re talking about how to build rhythms that honor your capacity, your faith, and your current season — so your business can grow without draining you.

    We’ll cover:

    • How to notice when your capacity is slipping
    • What boundaries look like in real life (not theory)
    • How faith and emotional health anchor your energy
    • Ways to stay consistent across changing seasons
