Oof... This morning....

I found myself trying to plan out my entire future step by step, getting lost in the chaos. Instead of using the skills I have and actually teach, I decided to take a little scroll on my phone.

I went to the news app, just reading headlines and thinking, "Why am I doing this?" There's nothing but horrible things on there, and it can't be helping my mood or anything else for that matter.

Suddenly, I heard God's voice clearly saying, "Get in My Word, not in the world."

And of course, that's exactly what I should be doing every time I get distracted by the what-ifs, the what-should-I-be-doings, and all the things.

His plan, His timing... but if I'm distracted by the world, I can't focus on His Word and His plan.

I'll miss it.

It's not about burying my head in the sand and ignoring reality.

It's about being very careful about what I feed my mind, so I can do what God is asking of me: to lead people from chaos to contentment.

P.S. It's not lost on me that I continually find my mind back in chaos (often). The key is that the time it takes me to get out and use the techniques is getting shorter and shorter, and that's where the WIN is!

What about you?

What do you do when your mind goes to chaos and gets focused on the world instead of what you should be doing?

I'm finally doing that thing....

But not exactly how I thought I would.

Writing the book... okay.. not THE book.

That will come later as it felt daunting and like I didn't have enough time or let's be real...energy.

So I settled for being less than perfect and just got something started and done... that seem manageable and yet still profound.

I'm currently editing my 1st - 7 chapter E-Book:

Rhythm Over Balance: Finding Your Authentic Pace in a World of Overwhelm: Embrace Your Seasons, Redefine Success, and Thrive as a Christian Entrepreneur in Just Months—Without the Quest for Perfection

I'm in editing mode and hope to have it out in the next couple of weeks.

Tell me in the comments if you want me to let you know when it is out for reading!

Peace. It's the one thing we all crave, yet it often feels like the most elusive thing to hold onto, doesn't it?

As driven, ambitious entrepreneurs, we're wired to give our all to everything we do.

We pour ourselves into our businesses, our families, our relationships, and our communities. We take on more and more, convinced that we can handle it all, that we can find a way to make it work.

But here's the thing: if it costs you your peace, it's too expensive. Read that again and let it sink in.

No amount of success, no level of achievement, no external validation is worth sacrificing your inner peace.

When you're constantly running on empty, when you're feeling overwhelmed and anxious more often than not, when you're neglecting your own needs in the pursuit of pleasing others... that's when you know the price is too high.

So how do you reclaim your peace? It starts with setting boundaries, with learning to say no to the things that don't align with your values and priorities.

It means carving out non-negotiable time for self-care and rest, even when the demands of life feel relentless. It means surrounding yourself with people who encourage and support you, who remind you of your worth beyond your accomplishments.

Most importantly, it means anchoring yourself in the truth that your identity and value come from God alone.

When you root yourself in His love and grace, when you trust that He is working all things together for your good, even in the midst of chaos and uncertainty... that's when you find unshakeable peace.

So if you're feeling the weight of overwhelm today, if you're questioning whether the cost of your pursuits is becoming too high, take a step back. Breathe deep. Release what doesn't serve you. And lean into the One who promises to give you peace that surpasses all understanding.

You are worthy of peace, my friend. Don't let anything steal that from you. 🙏💗

Can I be real with you?

I know you're feeling overwhelmed, like you're constantly playing catch-up with your never-ending to-do list. Trust me, I've been there too.

As elite-achievers, we've bought into the myth of "balance," and it's left us feeling inadequate and frustrated. But the truth is, it's time to let go of that idea and focus on finding a sustainable rhythm instead.

A rhythm that allows you to prioritize what matters most, delegate what you can, and build in non-negotiable self-care time. It's not about doing it all, but about doing what's essential and letting go of the rest.

As a fellow Christian Entrepreneur, I want to encourage you to lean into your faith during this time. God wants us to thrive and use our gifts to make a difference in the world. But we can't pour from an empty cup.

So take a deep breath, give yourself grace, and know that you're not in this alone. Keep showing up, keep doing your best, and trust that God will guide you to the sustainable rhythm you're seeking.

You're incredible with so much to offer the world. Don't let the chaos steal your joy or your purpose. You've got this! 💕
