    #23 Influence & Courage — Lead Without Apology

    If you’ve ever felt yourself shrink when it’s time to speak up, this episode is your reset. We unpack how real influence is built through win–win leadership, why humility is not hiding, and how one courageous ask can change your trajectory. I walk you through a scene from Esther to reframe fear as preparation, then guide you into a quick Courage Audit and a concrete commitment you’ll send this week. Expect clear language you can use to set standards without apology, a nudge to ship at 80% and learn in public, and a faith-forward reminder that “such a time as this” is permission, not pressure. If you want reinforced bravery for your calling, this is the one to play twice, then act.

    #22 Prolific Output—Focus on What Moves the Needle

    If you’ve been busy but not progressing, this one’s for you. In Episode 22, we get real about Prolific Quality Output so you stop spinning plates and start moving the needle with calm, consistent focus. You’ll learn how to choose the one high‑leverage project that actually advances your goals, protect a single 90‑minute focus block each day, and use the 80/20 lens to release the noise. We’ll beat perfectionism so you start, ship, and improve, and you’ll leave with three clear needle‑movers for the week. And to the men tuning in, you’re not lost here either. If you’ve ever juggled lunch boxes, Slack pings, and the “what’s for dinner?” text, you’ll feel this, too. Ready to focus on what truly matters and build momentum without the hustle? Hit play, then grab your clarity call if you want coaching support implementing this.

    #18 Joy Reset Part 6: Your Next Joyful Step: Creating a Sustainable Joy Reset Plan

    Joy Reset Series | Part 6 (Finale) As we close the Joy Reset Series, this episode invites you to slow down before rushing into a new year filled with goals, plans, and expectations. Instead of adding “one more thing” to an already full life, we explore how to carry joy forward in a way that is sustainable, faithful, and rooted in real life. This conversation reframes joy not as something we strive for, but as something we intentionally protect. Through gentle reflection, practical wisdom, and a faith-centered lens, this episode helps you design a Joy Reset Plan that fits the life you are actually living—not the life you wish you had more energy for. Rooted in the joy announced at the birth of Jesus, this final episode reminds us that joy is a gift to be received and tended, not earned through effort or perfection. ✨ Key Quote “Joy does not disappear because we stop caring. It disappears when it no longer has space to stay.” 🧭 What You’ll Hear in This Episode Why resistance to routines is often wisdom, not weakness How joy gets crowded out by constant fullness rather than hard seasons Three reflective questions to help you carry joy forward without burnout The difference between rigid routines and life-giving rhythms Why small, faithful practices are powerful anchors in busy lives How the birth of Jesus reframes joy as presence, not performance A gentle invitation to take a joyful next step into the new year 📝 Reflection Questions Take these with you into the coming days or weeks: What genuinely restores me in this season of my life? What quietly steals my joy faster than I want to admit? What is one small rhythm I can return to, even when life feels chaotic? What would a joyful next step look like—not a perfect one, but a faithful one? 💬 Listener Invitation I would love to hear from you. What would you like me to address in future podcast episodes? How can I be helpful to you right now? What are you feeling particularly stressed about as you head into the new year? You can DM me on Facebook (Rev Juliet Spencer) or Instagram @Rev_Juliet_Spencer. I won’t mention your name or share your story—I would simply love to speak to what matters most to you. 🌱 Closing Encouragement You don’t have to carry your questions alone. Joy is sustained one gentle rhythm, one faithful step, and one season at a time. Thank you for walking through the Joy Reset Series with me. May the joy you’ve touched here continue to grow—steadily, honestly, and with grace.

    #17 Joy Reset Series part 5: Overcoming Comparison: Embracing Your Unique Journey

    In this episode of Goals and Grace, we dive into the quiet thief of joy: comparison. You'll discover how it whispers doubt even when you're grounded in faith, and learn practical steps to shift from self-doubt to compassionate clarity. Through personal stories, Scripture, and high-performance insights, we explore harmful vs. healthy comparison, and how to honor God's unique design in your life. ✨ Key Quote “Comparison shifts our focus from gratitude to lack, eroding our joy and contentment.” 📖 Scripture Highlight Psalm 139:14 (NRSV) “I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; that I know very well.” This truth reminds us we're intentionally crafted. Comparison denies God's goodness in you right now—shifting the question from “Why am I not like her?” to “What sacred work is God unfolding in me?” 💡 Key Takeaways Comparison whispers, not shouts—disguising itself as wisdom while stealing joy. Harmful comparison diminishes (“Her success means I'm less”). Healthy comparison inspires (“What can I learn from her courage?”). High performers succeed by looking upward to God and inward to calling—not sideways. Joy grows when you honor God's work in you, not when you match someone else's lane. Steps to redirect: Notice it. Challenge assumptions. Learn without diminishing your story. Return to your calling. 📝 Reflection Prompts Where do I compartmentalize my worth based on others? What would shift if I saw my journey as sacred, not deficient? Who's one person I admire—and what specific habit can I model this week? 🎧 Episode Highlights A raw story of comparison in appearance, ministry, and coaching. Why we compare (hurtful words, media messages, desire for reassurance). How comparison creates fictional backstories that discourage us. High performance + spiritual growth: Study others without abandoning your lane.  4 steps to integrated freedom when comparison hits. Closing challenge to protect your joy. 📣 Call to Action Catch one comparison moment this week. Notice. Name it. Redirect to your path and God's work in you.

    #16 Joy Reset Series Part 4: Faith as Fuel: Integrating Your Relationship with Christ into Daily Joy

    Faith as Fuel: Integrating Your Relationship with Christ into Daily Joy In this episode of Goals and Grace, I’ll dive into how faith can fuel your joy across every aspect of life, not just the spiritual parts. We explore moving from compartmentalization to true spiritual integration, showing how letting Jesus guide your work, leadership, relationships, and decisions can create a life marked by clarity, calm, and joy. You'll receive a gentle invitation to stop dividing your life into separate boxes and instead let your relationship with Christ flow through everything you do. We'll delve into Scripture, explore practical habits, and walk through reflective questions designed to help you discern where God is inviting you into deeper connection. I know what it’s like to be so stressed and so busy that Jesus becomes almost an after-thought–even as a pastor! Thankfully, as you’ll hear, I got a wake-up call that changed not only how I live my faith, but that taught me how to cultivate joy in a profound way. 📖 Scriptures from Today’s Episode Colossians 3:17 “And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus.…” This verse reminds us that faith is not meant to be isolated or limited to certain moments—it's meant to shape everything we do. When Jesus becomes the center of our decisions, work, and daily interactions, the ordinary becomes sacred. John 15:4–5 “Abide in me as I abide in you… apart from me you can do nothing.” Jesus invites us into a life of connection, not compartmentalization. Abiding is not an activity—it’s a posture. A steady awareness of Christ’s presence in the middle of everyday responsibilities. Together, these passages form a powerful picture of an integrated faith: We bring everything to Jesus, and Jesus brings His presence into everything we do. 📝 Journal Prompts from Section 6 Take time this week to sit with these questions, whether in prayer, journaling, or quiet reflection: Where do I tend to compartmentalize my faith—and why? What would shift if I invited God into my workday as freely as I invite Him into my quiet time? What habits or commitments might need to become “No” or “No for now” so my life reflects the peace and joy I long for? Can others tell I am a person of faith no matter where I am? What would a more integrated life with God look like? Would I feel more joyful and at peace if I let Jesus into all areas of my life? Let these questions guide you toward deeper awareness and renewed intention. Doing so will increase your peace and calm, making joy a more constant part of your life! 💡 Key Takeaways If you want a life of peace, calm, and joy, make sure your faith is woven into the fabric of your day, every day. Joy grows strongest when faith is integrated, not isolated. Compartmentalization drains energy and spiritual clarity, integration restores wholeness. Colossians 3:17 calls us to do everything with Jesus at the center. John 15 reminds us that abiding with Christ is the source of strength, clarity, and joy. Simple daily practices—prayer, Scripture pauses, gratitude, releasing the day—help cultivate an integrated life. 💬 Key Quote “Compartmentalization keeps us busy, but integration keeps us whole. Joy isn’t something we chase—it’s something that flows from connection.” 📣 Call to Action Choose one small practice this week to help integrate your faith into daily life: a morning grounding prayer, a Scripture moment between meetings, a gratitude pause, or a nightly releasing prayer.
