    Season 1, Ep. 20 Shifts, Seasons, and Trusting God Through Change

    Life and business are full of shifts. Kids grow. Clients pivot. Seasons change. And as moms and CEOs, those changes often stretch us in ways we didn’t expect. In this final episode of Season 1, I’m leaning into the beauty of change and the challenge it brings. Just like summer turns into fall, the rhythms of our homes and businesses shift too. But what matters most is how we handle those shifts; not in our own strength, but by rooting ourselves in God’s Word, our marriages, our children, and the businesses He has entrusted to us. If you’ve been feeling the weight of transition, this conversation is for you. Grab a cozy blanket, your favorite coffee, and let’s reflect together on how God prepares us for every season. 🎧 Listen now to close out Season 1 of The Final Bell with encouragement and challenge for your own season of change.

    Season 1, Ep. 19 Homeschooling & CEO Life

    Homeschooling, CEO Shifts, and Trusting God in the Pivot This season of life looks different than I ever imagined. With my kindergartner now in a hybrid homeschool program—two days in the classroom and three days at home—my daily rhythms as a CEO, mom, and wife have shifted dramatically. In this episode, I’m sharing what it’s really looked like to balance homeschooling with running my business. From learning to pause mid-task to sit down for phonics lessons, to realizing my kids come before my laptop, this season has stretched me in patience, trust, and perspective. It hasn’t always been easy, but it has been good. And through it all, God has reminded me that slowing down doesn’t mean stepping away from my calling—it means aligning my steps with His. If you’re navigating a pivot—whether in family, business, or faith—this episode will encourage you to embrace the shift, trust God in the process, and remember that your worth isn’t tied to hustle. 🎧 Tune in and be reminded: you don’t have to do it all to do what matters most.
