    This Is Why You're Tired

    Some weeks don’t just test your business. They reveal something about your heart. This week did that for me. In this episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, I open up about a moment that surfaced something I thought I had already healed. It raised a question I wasn’t expecting. One that many entrepreneurs quietly carry but rarely say out loud. Why do so many leaders still feel restless… even when things appear to be working? Not failing.Not stuck. Just… unsettled. This conversation doesn’t start with business strategy. It starts with a question most high-achieving entrepreneurs never stop long enough to ask themselves. Because sometimes the things we build our lives around look like success on the outside… But tell a very different story on the inside. And sometimes a difficult week reveals more than we were prepared to see. If you're a Christian founder, CEO, or startup leader navigating the tension between growth, identity, and purpose, this episode may open a conversation you didn’t know you needed to have. Some realizations don’t just change how you lead. They change what you thought success was supposed to give you. The Estherpreneur Podcast is for CEOs, founders, and faith-driven entrepreneurs who are growing—but something feels misaligned. Whether it's your structure, your clarity, or your capacity, this show helps you identify what's off and what to focus on next.

    Love That Costs You

    What do you do when the people who hurt you are the same people God calls you to love?  In this episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, we step into one of the most uncomfortable tensions Christian leaders face in the marketplace. Every entrepreneur eventually encounters it—the betrayal, the opposition, the quiet wounds that form when trust is broken in places where you were trying to build something meaningful. Moments like these don’t just test your strategy or your leadership skills. They reveal something deeper about the heart behind how you lead. This conversation opens a deeper question about justice, forgiveness, and the kind of maturity Kingdom leadership quietly requires. Because the real test of leadership isn’t just what you build when things are going well, it’s who you become when people don’t treat you fairly. If you're a Christian founder, CEO, or entrepreneur navigating the complexity of leading people while guarding your heart, this episode invites you into a conversation many leaders avoid… but every Kingdom builder eventually has to face.  The Estherpreneur Podcast is for CEOs, founders, and faith-driven entrepreneurs who are growing—but something feels misaligned.

    Zippy’s, Chili, and Closing Deals

    Most people wouldn’t expect a biblical business strategy to start in a busy restaurant. But sometimes the places that shape us the most... aren’t the ones we would have chosen. In this episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, I share a story from long before consulting, coaching CEOs, or building companies. A story that began on the floor of a restaurant in Hawaii. At the time, it didn’t feel like preparation for anything significant. Just long shifts. Fast decisions. Constant movement. But looking back, something was being formed. Something that would later shape how I think about leadership, sales, and serving people well in business. This episode opens the first conversation in a new series exploring biblical business strategies but not in the way most entrepreneurs expect. Sometimes the principles that change how we lead don’t come from a boardroom. They come from moments that teach us to see people differently. If you're a Christian founder, CEO, or business owner trying to grow without compromising your values, this conversation may shift the way you think about influence, trust, and the unseen foundations of business. Because building a meaningful business was never just about closing deals. And sometimes the most important lessons start in places no one would think to look.

    Why Kids Hear God Faster

    In this episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, I’m sharing what the Lord has been teaching me through a surprising mentor… my four-year-old daughter. I’ve been in a season where God is restoring childlike wonder in me again, and it’s been healing in ways I didn’t expect. In this conversation, I walk you through four lessons my daughter models naturally—lessons that many adults have to re-learn the hard way: 1. Trust without demanding control 2. Ask boldly without shame 3. Find wonder in what adults ignore 4. Recover quickly and don’t camp in disappointment This episode is for the entrepreneur who feels tired, guarded, or spiritually “mature” in a way that quietly became heavy. God doesn’t want your faith hardened by life. He wants it healed. The Estherpreneur Podcast is for CEOs, founders, and faith-driven entrepreneurs who are growing—but something feels misaligned.

    Informed Faith

    You can know a lot about God and still not know Him. That might sound uncomfortable… but in this episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, I’m drawing a hard line between the knowledge of God and knowing God personally—because in this hour, surface-level Christianity is not going to sustain you. I’m talking about spiritual distractions, busyness, exhaustion, and what it looks like to pursue quality time with God when life is chaotic. And I’m reminding you that guilt and religious pressure are not tools of transformation. If you’re building a business and you’re tired, stretched, or overwhelmed, you don’t need more information. You need intimacy. Because knowledge gives you principles—but knowing God gives you direction.

  6. Finding True Hope with Chet

    Finding True Hope with Chet

    What if the way you learned to protect your heart… is the very thing limiting your future? In this week’s episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, I sit down with Chet Gladkowski to unpack a story that begins with silence, survival, and a quiet decision many don’t even realize they’ve made:  To stop hoping… so they won’t be disappointed. But what happens when that mindset follows you into adulthood, into your faith, and even into your relationship with God? And more importantly—what does it take to break it? This conversation goes deeper than surface-level encouragement. It exposes the subtle ways pain, family history, and lived experiences shape how we see God, ourselves, and what we believe is possible. If you’ve ever felt like:  You believe in God… but still struggle with expectation  You’ve been in a long “in-between” season  Or you’ve quietly lowered your hope just to avoid disappointment Then this episode is for you. There is a difference between surviving life… and living with true hope. And what you’ll hear in this conversation may challenge everything you thought you knew about both.

    Why I Had to Let It Go

    Letting go is not easy when you’re the kind of person who loves hard, builds hard, and stays loyal to what you started. But in this episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, I’m sharing why I had to let it go—because I realized something: You can’t step into new fruit while you’re holding onto old weight. I talk about the emotional side of release, the difficulty of walking away from things that feel comfortable, and how pruning can feel like loss even when it’s actually preparation for expansion. We’ll also confront the tension between internal conviction and external pressure—the push to follow trends, gurus, and noise, even when the Spirit is leading you differently. If you’ve been forcing momentum, this episode will help you stop wrestling and start discerning.

    Global by Design

    What if the job you think is “beneath” your calling is actually where God is building the character to carry your calling? In this episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, we trace how global assignments often begin in places that feel too small to matter and how what looks “random” in one season can become revelation in the next. I share a story from my early years—one that didn’t feel spiritual, impressive, or strategic at the time. But looking back, I see it now: God was training me in systems, vision, and excellence—long before I had a business card. This episode isn’t about Disney. It’s about what God develops in the invisible years—so that when influence comes, you’re ready to carry it without compromise. If you're called to global impact, but still learning to steward local obedience… this conversation will meet you right where you are. Your future isn't built on big moments. It’s built in how you handle what feels small. If this episode stirred something in you, it’s time to take the next step.
