Redefining Hustle: Navigating Success as a Christian Woman, is the weekly podcast for high-achieving sisters in Christ who desire harmony between their faith and ambition. If your outward success is clashing with your faith and peace, and you’re ready to exchange overachievement for letting Jesus lead your work, you’ll find respite here! Each week we’ll spend a focused 15-minutes connecting Biblical truth to business with practical application so you can tune out the world, tune in to God’s truth, and turn up focus. The truth is: God made you ambitious, but He didn’t make you to do business as usual! If this is the reminder you need today, let’s dive in together!

  1. Who Said? Anchor Your Identity in Christ Alone, 348

    5 DAYS AGO

    Who Said? Anchor Your Identity in Christ Alone, 348

    Who said your identity is based on those adjectives from your childhood report card, your last performance appraisal, or the Google review you received? Are you anchored there or in Christ? This episode draws directly from Chapter Three of Redefining Hustle: Navigating Success With Jesus and asks one of the most important questions a Christian woman in business can sit with: Where is your identity anchored? As we step into May, we're leaving the Money Matters series behind and opening a new conversation — one that gets to the very root of how we show up in business, in leadership, and in life. In This Episode: Why roles, titles, and accomplishments are imprecise and ever-changing — and therefore can never truly define us What John 1:1-3 and Genesis 1:26 reveal about who has the authority to define you How the fog of the world's expectations obscures your view of your gifts and your assignment The three faces of pride that keep us tethered to worldly definitions — and what happens when those definitions shift Scripture References: John 1:1-3 Genesis 1:26  Romans 8:29 Romans 8:14-17  Revelation 1:8 Key Takeaway: Your role doesn't define you. Jesus does. Your bank account doesn't define you. Jesus does. A bad review, a lost contract, a difficult season — none of it defines you. Jesus does. When your identity is anchored in him, you can weather every storm of business from a place of contentment, clarity, and unshakeable peace. Reflection Questions From This Episode: Have you walked with Jesus for a long time but wandered off track because something caused you to doubt him? Have you allowed your own map to take precedence over his? Have the shiny objects of outward success lulled you into believing your accomplishments are your entire identity? Where is your identity anchored today? Coming up in May: How your anchored identity shapes your conviction, your view of competition, and the culture you build in your organization. God made you ambitious. He did not make you for business as usual. And that means you are not subject to the world's authority — only His.

  2. It’s Never About Money: Face Finances with Faith Not Fear

    It’s Never About Money: Face Finances with Faith Not Fear

    What if your money problems have nothing to do with money? What if it was actually about facing finances with faith instead of fear? Welcome to week four of the 2026 Money Matters series! We're closing out Financial Literacy Month with a conversation that ties everything together — and brings a fresh, deeply personal perspective to the table. Rachel Collins is a money coach who guides individuals, couples, and business owners to get unstuck with money so they can live with intention, purpose, and peace. She is the founder of Living Well Financial Coaching — a name inspired by Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well — and she brings equal parts biblical wisdom, practical strategy, and genuine compassion to every client she serves. In This Episode: How a personal finance class during one of the busiest seasons of Rachel's life changed everything The emergency that proved God had already prepared the way — before Rachel even knew she needed it Why smart, capable, faith-filled women are privately overwhelmed by money The surprising truth: it's rarely about the numbers — it's about mindset, emotion, and identity Why fear of money can become just as much of an idol as the love of money The difference between the worldly money mindset and the biblical renewing of the mind Scripture References: 1 Timothy 6:10 Luke 16:10  Luke 14:28 James 1:17 Romans 12:2  Key Takeaway: Avoiding your finances doesn't make them go away — it just keeps you stuck. But when you get honest with yourself, your spouse, and God about where things actually stand, that's where transformation begins. You are not alone in this, and you were never meant to be. This Week's Reflection: Is there an area of your finances you've been avoiding? What would it look like to bring that to God — and to one trusted person — this week?

  3. Four P’s of Money: Stewarding Business Income, Heather Oynes

    Four P’s of Money: Stewarding Business Income, Heather Oynes

    Money comes in, and money goes out — are you reacting to the ups and downs without pausing to seek God’s direction for stewarding it? Coach Heather Oynes has some insight for you! Welcome to week three of the 2026 Money Matters series! This week I'm joined by Heather Oynes, a money coach and millionaire net worth mentor who helps women entrepreneurs become financially savvy CEOs through intentional financial stewardship and kingdom wealth building. This conversation is packed with practical wisdom, biblical truth, and the kind of permission your soul has been waiting for. In This Episode: Heather’s journey from teaching college friends how to manage small budgets to a pharmacist career, to coaching women business owners through biblically based stewardship Why "the Lord is our provider" is the most overlooked biblical truth in Christian business The Four P's: Praise, Pause, Pray, Plan — a simple framework for every dollar that comes in Scripture References: Philippians 4:19 Matthew 25:14-30 Luke 14:28 Proverbs 13:22 Key Takeaway: While more income is helpful, it’s not the solution to learning how to respond vs. react in managing finances. When you praise God for His provision, pause, pray over how to steward it, and plan intentionally — everything changes! This Week's Reflection: When money comes into your business, what's your first instinct? Are you pausing and seeking God — or reacting out of habit or fear?

    Wise counsel on biblical finances with Michal Caro 345

    You don't have to have perfect finances to experience peace! Seek wise counsel for biblical finances. Today's guest, Michal Caro, tells you how she helps business owners like you do just that. Welcome to week two of the 2026 Money Matters series! This month, we're having honest conversations about how high-achieving Christian women think about money — and today's guest is bringing both professional expertise and deep faith to the table. Michal Caro is a Certified Financial Planner who helps women pursue peace-filled stewardship through intentional, biblically based choices. Her mission is simple: help you release worry, align money with purpose, and find lasting confidence and peace. In This Episode: How God called Michal into financial planning — even when every other door kept closing Why she believes there's no such thing as a true money problem — God uses money to get our attention The comparison trap that keeps women stuck in anxiety regardless of income level Why you don't need to have it all together before seeking wise financial counsel The widow who didn't know she had enough to pay off her mortgage — until Michal showed her What Matthew 6 really says about planning, worry and trusting God with your financial future Why the money stuff is actually the easy part Scripture References: Matthew 6 Proverbs 15:22 Key Takeaway: You don't need to clean up your finances before seeking wise counsel — that's like saying you need to get healthy before going to the doctor. God has given you everything you need to do everything He has called you to do today. The peace you're looking for doesn't come from a number. It comes from Him. This Week's Reflection: Where are you letting comparison or anxiety keep you from stepping out in faith — in your finances and your business?

  5. Mercedes Miracle: Lessons on Money, Idols & Obedience, 344

    Mercedes Miracle: Lessons on Money, Idols & Obedience, 344

    What does a white Ford Fusion with 150,000 miles have to do with your money mindset? Tune in for this lesson on money, idols, and obedience. Welcome to the 2026 Money Matters series! Every April for Financial Literacy Month, we dig into how high-achieving Christian women think about money — the stories we carry, the lids we put on our businesses, and what God's word actually says about wealth, possessions, and stewardship. This episode, we're kicking things off with a deeply personal story — the Mercedes Miracle. In This Episode: The surprising moment that inspired this episode — and what an odometer reading revealed How a luxury car became an idol representing worldly success and self-made identity Why every attempt to get rid of the car failed — and what God was doing in the waiting The Holy Spirit nudge at a networking event that changed everything What Matthew 6:19-24 says about treasure, money, and serving two masters Why even seven and eight-figure earners struggle with money mindset The Parable of the Talents — and whether fear is keeping your gifts from growing Scripture References: Matthew 6:19-24 — Treasures in heaven, the lamp of the body, serving two masters 1 Kings 17 — The widow's oil that never ran out Matthew 25:14-30 — The Parable of the Talents Key Takeaway: Money isn't the issue — it's the pedestal we put it on. When we get our hearts and minds into right alignment with what God wants us to do with money, he doesn't just provide — he multiplies. The question is whether fear, your money story, or the idols you're holding onto are blocking the flow. This Week's Reflection: What are you storing up where moth and rust can destroy? What is the Lord impressing upon you about how you steward what he's given you? This is Part 1 of the 2026 Money Matters series. Stay tuned this month for conversations with three incredible sisters in Christ — including two financial planners and a money coach — who will help you heal your money story through the Holy Spirit. God made you ambitious. He did not make you for business as usual.

  6. Knock Down High Places: Idols Holding Your Business Back 343

    Knock Down High Places: Idols Holding Your Business Back 343

    Have you ever heard the saying that partial obedience is disobedience? In this episode, we're diving deep into what it means to be fully surrendered in your faith and your business — and confronting the "high places" we've left standing and how these are idols holding back our businesses. Drawing from 1 and 2 Kings, we explore the pattern of kings who followed God but stopped short of full obedience. Sound familiar? As ambitious, faith-driven women in business, we do the same thing — and it's costing us. In This Episode: What "high places" are and why they matter for your business today The biblical kings who got it right — and what set them apart How money, comparison, and chasing rooms can become modern-day idols Why partial obedience is still disobedience How God provides in ways we cannot see or comprehend Scripture References: 2 Kings 18 — King Hezekiah removes the high places 2 Kings 22 — King Josiah's full obedience 2 Kings 3 — King Joram's partial obedience 2 Kings 12 — King Joash does right, yet the high places remain 1 Samuel 8 — Israel demands a king, wanting to be like other nations 1 Kings 17 — Elijah, the ravens, and the widow; God's unexpected provision Genesis 3 — Adam, Eve, and the original high place Key Takeaway: When God's people obey Him fully, they are invincible. He doesn't just provide in addition — He provides in multiplication. The question isn't whether God can provide. The question is whether you're willing to knock down everything standing in your way of full obedience. This Week's Challenge: Take time to reflect: What are the high places that you haven't knocked down yet? Send me a DM or email and let me know — I'd love to walk through this with you. Coming up next: We kick off the annual Money Matters series — one of the high places we get real and honest about as Christian women in business. You don't want to miss it! God made you ambitious. He did not make you for business as usual.
