You know their heart, you know their dreams, their struggles, and the vision that you place deep within them. God, I lift up every entrepreneur listening to this podcast who has felt stuck, uncertain, or afraid to take the next step. Every single time they've questioned if they're too late, they're too much, or not qualified enough. Lord, I ask that you would speak truth and remind them that you don't call the qualified, you qualify the called, Lord. Father, I pray against the pressure to choose, the choosing between business and faith, obedience and ambition, purpose and peace, and the many other things that they feel the pressure to choose amongst. Father, help them to see that they don't have to choose. With you, they can build something meaningful and stay rooted deep in your presence. You're not asking them to hustle for their worth. You're inviting them to trust. You're inviting them to surrender. You're inviting them to steward. Remind them today that they're allowed to take up space, that they were created with purpose, and you've equipped them with everything that they need to move forward boldly. Whether they're launching something new, rebuilding from burnout, or just learning how to sell with integrity. Father, give them confidence, clarity, and the peace that they desire, that they need, Lord. Use this episode as a catalyst. Father, I pray that it stirs something inside of them that they can't stay silent anymore. Let it remind them that they don't need outside permission to say yes to what you've already approved and said yes to. Father, bless their mind, bless their heart, and their hands as they build. Let everything that they do be done in love, in faith, and in full partnership with you. We surrender this time to you, Lord, and we trust you with the outcome. In Jesus' name, amen. Hey friend, welcome back to the podcast. Alright, so today's episode... If you've ever felt like you had to choose between your family, your business, pursuing this dream, and just staying present in your life in general, this episode is going to be for you. It is time to stop waiting. It is go time. You don't have to choose anymore. We are getting real today. We are You know what I'm talking about, right? I've been there for way too long, especially as I stepped into motherhood and felt like I have constantly been needing to choose and it's overwhelming how many choices there are. If you're a mom, you get it, but we won't go there today. Anyways, I felt like I've had to choose constantly. Choosing between being fully present with my family or growing my business. Choosing between being enough as a mom or chasing my dream of opening my play cafe on top of growing this coaching business. Choosing between being profitable or staying aligned with my vision and my faith. Is this starting to sound a little familiar? Maybe they might not be the same for you, obviously, because you are a different person, but just the need to choose, the constant need to choose between something. It's overwhelming how many choices we have and You're either leaning far into one or you're falling short in the other. And I've been in that struggle. In fact, I'm in it right now. I'm recording this podcast at midnight. I thought for a very long time that I had to choose either my heart or my vision would break. But here's the thing. You don't have to choose anymore. God has started showing me something that's changed everything for me. He slowly has been rewiring the lies that I've been believing and he spoke these truths into my heart just today. The simplicity of you're not too late, you're not too much, and you're not disqualified. I have felt so disqualified with this podcast and my coaching business because since I became a mom, I just haven't been as present as I used to be. But I'm in a different season of my life and I'm okay with that now. It's taken me a while to come with peace with it and come to terms with it. But just because I'm in a different season and just because you may be in a different season, that does not disqualify you. And he is saying the same thing to you. It's time to stop listening to those lies that you are telling yourself that you can't have at all because you can. If it is something that God has placed on your heart, it is a huge desire. You can have it. This is your season. This is your time. So here's the new truth that I'm now living by and I want you to hear this loud and clear. Obviously, shift it to what makes sense to you, but... you can be a great mom and build a thriving business you can open that dream coffee shop and be a powerful coach you can make money and be generous and still stay true to your values you can sell boldly and walk in faith shift it to what works for you. But that is the truth that I'm now living by that have come a long way. This isn't about a hustle culture, you guys. This isn't about being burnt out and constantly just running your business and always doing all the things and being present in every single area of your life. You are only one person. This is about obedience to God's call on your life and nothing else other than that. It's about stewarding the gifts that he's placed in your hands and doing so with confidence and faith. And here's the thing. You don't need anyone else's permission to move forward. You don't need someone to say, go. You don't need someone to say, it's okay. You don't need that outside validation. You have God's validation. That is the most important one that you need is God. And it's time to stop shrinking back and stop holding yourself back because you're worried about what others might think. It is time to choose both. And guess what? You can do it. If I can do it, so can you. If you've been sitting on the sidelines wondering, oh, can I really go after this? Is this... Yes, yes, yes, you absolutely can. You don't have to choose between your family, your dreams, and your business. God is big enough for all of it. He has equipped you for this journey ahead of you. He has equipped you for the purpose, for that desire that you have on your heart.
