    In today’s episode of How to Grow My Small Business, I’m joined by my friend Lissa Figgins from Redeem Her Time, and this conversation is for every woman who’s ever said: “I don’t have enough time.” Lisa calls herself an un-time management coach — because she believes time management isn’t the solution… it’s actually part of the problem. We talk about how hustle culture trains us to measure our worth by what we get done, why busyness becomes a signal to the people we love (“I’m not available”), and how God calls us to steward time — not white-knuckle it. This episode gets real. Lisa shares a powerful story about what her body was doing under chronic stress — and how it became a wake-up call that her “productivity” was actually costing her peace. We also talk about: ROTI: Return on Time Invested Why being a “business owner” can quietly turn into being a “busyness owner” The biblical difference between managing and stewarding  The 3 time shifts most people miss Why multitasking is not your superpower The question that changes everything: “What is it time for?” If you’ve been craving clarity, margin, and a better way to grow your business without burning out… press play.
