    191. 4 Steps to Rest Well: Recharging Your Spirit and Business

    In this episode of Wisdom's Table, we're going deep on something a lot of high-achieving entrepreneurs try to skip: REST. If you've been working hard and you're starting to feel the drain, this one is for you. I get personal in this episode. I take you back to 2011 when I hit a wall that changed everything I thought I knew about capacity, output, and what it actually means to be well.  This year, the Lord pressed on me to take a sabbatical from one-on-one coaching through June and July. Honestly? My first reaction was not peace. It was resistance. But I said yes, and what has happened on the other side of that obedience is exactly what this episode is about. I also walk you through a four-part framework I've been using to rest in a way that actually fills you back up. I'm calling it Release, Enter, Satisfy, and Together. This isn't about checking out. It's about checking in, with God, with yourself, with what your soul is actually asking for. Rest isn't a reward for finishing. It's part of the work. Want to learn how to build differently? Check out my group at www.supernaturalceo.com   TIMESTAMPS 00:00:00 - Welcome to Wisdom's Table Introduction to the podcast and today's topic on rest and identity in business. 00:01:00 - Personal Journey with Burnout Rachel shares her experience with burnout and the lessons learned from it. 00:04:39 - The Importance of Rest Discussion on the necessity of rest and how to approach it effectively. 00:06:14 - Four-Step Model for Rest Introduction to a practical model for incorporating rest into life. 00:08:45 - Guarding Against Burnout Exploration of how greed can lead to burnout and the importance of spiritual health. 00:10:29 - Jesus as Our Example Reflection on how Jesus modeled an unhurried life and the importance of focusing on God's mission. 00:12:04 - Rejecting the Pressure to Perform Encouragement to resist societal pressures and stay true to one's mission. 00:14:01 - What to Do When You Rest Practical advice on how to engage in meaningful rest. 00:18:05 - Active Rest with the Lord Emphasis on the importance of active engagement with God during rest. 00:19:18 - Closing Thoughts and Encouragement Wrap-up of the episode and encouragement to share the podcast.

    190. On Mondays We Pray: Over The Power Couples In Business

    If you're building a business with your spouse, this one's for you. Today's prayer episode is a blessing over the marriages that are also partnerships, the ones where the dream lives in both of you, where the deadline pressure doesn't always stay at the office, and where it can be hard to know when to be business partners and when to just be husband and wife. This prayer covers the real tensions: leading with frustration instead of grace, competing instead of completing each other, and letting the weight of the vision crowd out the peace of your home. We declare together that this business belongs to God, and that our marriages are the greatest testimony of what kingdom business actually looks like. Whether you and your spouse are co-founders or your spouse is simply your biggest supporter from the sidelines, this prayer is for you. Because the calling on your business and the covenant of your marriage were never meant to be in conflict. Come pray with us today. Scriptures to carry with you: Ecclesiastes 4:9, Mark 10:9, Colossians 3:14 Ready to build your business God's way alongside a community that gets it?

    189. 6 Rules for Power Couples in Business

    This month, my husband and I are celebrating 22 years of marriage. And I'll be honest, it has not all been bliss. We are two independent, visionary, alpha people who have built businesses, led ministry, and raised four kids together. And nobody warned us that the hardest meeting of the week would sometimes happen around the dinner table. If you are in business with your spouse, this episode is for you. I'm sharing six rules we've learned the hard way about how to build a company together without it costing you your marriage. We cover why your marriage cannot become a chronic business meeting, how to define roles according to your actual strengths instead of who you want to be seen as, and why trusting your spouse to do their job well is one of the most powerful things you can do for both your company and your relationship. We also get into the unity principle that completely changed how we make financial and business decisions together, why blaming your spouse for holding back your dreams might be the most dangerous thing you can do to your marriage and your calling, and the one practical conversation most couples never have but absolutely need to, especially when you are both owners of the same company. This episode is not about having a perfect partnership. It is about building one with intention, humility, and the kind of covenant commitment that God actually honors. Because here is what I know to be true after 22 years: your marriage matters more to the Lord than what you accomplish. But I also believe He can give you both. This episode is about learning to hold them well, at the same time. STAY CONNECTED! Jump on my email list HERE.

    187. 42% Of Start Ups Fail: How to Ensure Your Business Makes It

    Okay, I have to ask you something that might sting a little. What if the logo, the website, the branding you've been pouring time and money into is actually the thing keeping your business from making money? I know. Stay with me. Here's what I've learned across 20-plus years of building businesses: you should be selling before you build. Not after the website is perfect. Not after the brand colors are locked in. Before. Most of us come from environments where looking the part feels like being the part. We think professional equals profitable. But that belief has a cost. Did you know that 42% of startups fail because they built something nobody actually wanted? I've seen this up close. A friend of mine poured over $35,000 into a consulting business before they ever landed a single client. By the time they realized the model wasn't working, they were so emotionally and financially invested that pivoting felt impossible. Today we're talking about the four things you actually need to do when you're starting from zero, and why selling first isn't a shortcut. It's the smartest move you can make.   Let's connect!

    186. On Mondays We Pray: To Unmask The Lies And Be Set Free!

    Most of us would never say it out loud. But in private? Nearly 90% of people admit they carry a deep, quiet belief that God is somehow disappointed in them. That He rolls His eyes when they pray. That they're too much, too broken, too far behind. And today we are calling that exactly what it is: a lie from the pit of hell. On this episode of On Mondays We Pray, we are praying together over the shame of not measuring up and releasing it for good. Because when you let this lie go, you step into a love that is so vast, so rich, and so fulfilling that everything begins to shift. Come pray with us.   Have a specific prayer request? Email me! I would love to pray for you. Rachel@rachelwortman.com

    184. On Mondays We Pray: For Your Business To Stand Out

    The market is flooded. More entrepreneurs are coming. And the ones who will stand out aren't the ones who perfected somebody else's model. They're the ones who had the courage to be exactly who God made them to be. We just talked about what it really means to stand out in a flooded market (See episode 183), and today we're taking everything we uncovered straight to the Lord. Because knowing your differentiators is one thing. Having the courage to actually walk in them is another. This is your Monday prayer. We're bringing the fear, the resistance, the places where you've been hiding parts of yourself because you weren't sure they were enough. We're laying it all down and asking God to do what only He can do. If last week's episode stirred something in you, this one is the next right step. Come pray with us. New episodes every Monday and Thursday. And if this blessed you, share it with a friend who needs to hear it. Need help standing out? Get my FREE Poisitioning Guide HERE
