There’s a moment in my conversation with Shell Peterson, CEO and Founder of Shell Social & Strategies that led to the podcast title. This is it.

She calls it her “shedding season” — a year of losing clients, losing friendships, crying more nights than she can count, all while praying one specific prayer: God, position me to receive the blessing.

Not just financially. Mentally. Physically. Spiritually.

What she didn’t know at the time was that everything she was losing was making room. When the opportunity finally came — the client, the calling, all of it arriving at once — she was actually ready for it. No hesitation.

This is from Shell’s episode, “Positioned for the Blessing: Shell Peterson’s Season of Shedding.” Watch it, then go listen to the whole conversation — link in comments. 🌿

“I named my daughter Bravely because I… wanted to instill that in her, but I also wanted it to push me to go for it.” — Shell Peterson

Sometimes the names we give our children are really messages to ourselves. Shell grew up in a home shaped by fear. When she had her daughter, she chose a name that would remind them both — every single day — that bravery is a decision.

A name for her daughter was also a push for herself. Full circle. 🌿

Remembering Dolly Parton.

Thank you Dolly for being a living example of faith, belonging, bridge building. For being a woman of faith who refused to give up on people.

Your people-first way of living and courageous compassion made you cross the many divides of race, illiteracy, poverty, gender, sexuality, age.

You gave us freely of your love, music, laughter, generosity, hope, joy, smiles…Things we need so desperately today. In this moment.

The world has lost a light. But heaven is smiling.

Rest in Peace.

Tired of trying to balance it all? 👀

If you’ve ever felt torn between motherhood, work, and building the thing God put in your heart — this one’s for you.

Every season you’re walking through right now — even the hard, tired, stretched-thin one — is a stepping stone. God isn’t asking you to have it all figured out. He’s just asking you to trust Him with the next step.

“Every season is a stepping stone, every experience is shaping you, and everything that you’re walking through is just Him… molding [you] to your greater purpose.” — Shell Peterson.

“When you are building something, you have to have that mindset — that this is something bigger than me. That God can use this.” — Shell Peterson

It’s easy to build a business around what you want. It’s harder — and more lasting — to build one around what God can do with it.

Shell Peterson has learned that lesson through every pivot in her career: from optometry, to a blog started on a whim, to running her own agency. None of it was ever just about her.

If you’re building something right now — a business, a family, a dream — ask yourself: are you asking God to make room to use it beyond you? 🌿

When Shell Peterson told us her support system isn’t people, we didn’t expect what came next. It’s time. Fiercely protected, intentionally guarded time with her daughter.

No village. No inner circle of helpers. Just boundaries — and the discipline to keep them.

As a single mom and entrepreneur, Shell has learned that protecting your time IS the support system. 🌿
