Why your boardroom, startup, or career might be exactly where God needs you most

The psalmist wasn’t questioning intelligence—he was exposing something deeper: how the heart’s quiet rebellion against divine authority slowly erodes our capacity for love, compassion, and justice.
Most people wouldn’t openly declare “God doesn’t exist.” But when our hearts whisper “His authority doesn’t apply here,” we’ve already started down a dangerous path.
Here’s the pattern:
- It starts internally (the heart’s declaration)
- It spreads outwardly (affecting our actions)
- It ends destructively (corrupt works and broken relationships)
This isn’t about denying God’s existence—it’s about rejecting His authority in our daily choices. When we decide we’re the ultimate authority in our lives, we inevitably create our own version of reality and moral code.
The result? We feel justified taking matters into our own hands, even when it means betraying truth and hurting others.
Where in your life might your heart be quietly saying “I’ve got this” instead of “God’s got this”?
No shade here—we all struggle with this. It’s an invitation to pause and examine the moments when we feel most entitled to control outcomes, bypass accountability, or create our own rules.
What’s one area where you’ve been tempted to “take matters into your own hands” lately? 👇

It’s July—time to assess more than just your KPIs
We’re halfway through the year, and if you’re like most high-achieving women, you’ve already pulled up your Q2 reports, analyzed your metrics, and started strategizing for the back half of 2025. Your spreadsheets are color-coded, your goals are tracked, and your performance indicators are (hopefully) trending upward.
But here’s the question your annual review will never ask: How aligned are you with your actual purpose?
The Review That Really Matters
Traditional performance reviews measure what you’ve accomplished, but they rarely assess whether those accomplishments are moving you toward the life you actually want to live. They track your productivity, but ignore your peace. They celebrate your promotions, but overlook your purpose.
As a woman of faith navigating the professional world, you know there’s a deeper scorecard that matters. It’s the one that measures whether your work is flowing from your calling, whether your success is sustainable, and whether you’re building something that honors both your ambitions and your values.
The Mid-Year Wake-Up Call
July has a way of revealing uncomfortable truths. The new year’s energy has worn off, the holiday break feels like a distant memory, and you’re staring down the reality of another six months just like the last six.
Maybe you’re recognizing some of these warning signs:
- The Sunday Night Syndrome: That pit in your stomach that starts forming around 4 PM every Sunday, not because you hate your job, but because you’ve lost connection with why it matters.
- The Achievement Hangover: You hit a major goal—the promotion, the client win, the revenue target—and instead of satisfaction, you felt… empty. The celebration was brief, and the question “What now?” lingered longer than the congratulations.
- The Values Disconnect: You find yourself making decisions that advance your career but compromise your character. Nothing dramatic—just small compromises that accumulate like paper cuts on your soul.
- The Energy Drain: You’re successful by every external measure, but you’re running on fumes. The work that used to energize you now feels like you’re pushing a boulder uphill.
The Purpose Problem
Here’s what I’ve learned after working with hundreds of high-achieving women: You can be incredibly successful and still feel like you’re failing at life. You can check every box on your career goals and still feel like you’re missing the point.
The problem isn’t your performance. It’s that you’re performing for the wrong audience.
When your definition of success comes from external validation rather than internal conviction, you become a slave to metrics that don’t measure what matters most. You optimize for outcomes that look impressive on LinkedIn but leave you feeling spiritually bankrupt.
The Integration Imperative
Authentic success isn’t about choosing between your faith and your career—it’s about discovering how they’re meant to work together. It’s not about being less ambitious; it’s about being more intentional about what you’re ambitious for.
Purpose-driven professionals don’t work harder than everyone else. They work smarter because they work from clarity. They know their “why,” which makes their “what” and “how” infinitely more powerful.
When your work flows from your purpose:
- Decision-making becomes clearer because you have a filter for what matters
- Boundaries become easier because you know what you’re protecting
- Stress becomes manageable because you understand the bigger picture
- Success becomes sustainable because it’s aligned with your values
- Impact becomes inevitable because you’re operating from your zone of calling
The Mid-Year Recalibration
If you’re feeling the gap between your performance and your purpose, July is the perfect time for a different kind of review. Instead of just analyzing what you’ve accomplished, ask yourself:
- Alignment Check: Are your daily actions moving you toward your long-term calling, or are you just busy?
- Values Audit: When you made your last five major decisions, did you consult your values or just your goals?
- Energy Assessment: What parts of your work give you energy versus drain you? What does that tell you about your purpose?
- Legacy Lens: If you continue on your current trajectory, what will you have built in five years? Is that what you want to build?
- Faith Integration: Where do you see God moving in your professional life? Where do you feel His presence, and where do you feel distant?
The Second Half Strategy
The most successful women I know don’t wait until January to make changes. They use mid-year as a strategic inflection point to realign their actions with their authentic goals.
This isn’t about throwing away everything you’ve built. It’s about being more intentional about what you build next. It’s about making sure your success serves your purpose, not the other way around.
The Five Pillars of Purpose-Driven Success:
- Clarity: Understanding your unique calling and how it shows up in your work
- Alignment: Ensuring your daily decisions support your deeper values
- Integration: Bringing your whole self to your professional life
- Impact: Focusing on outcomes that matter beyond the bottom line
- Sustainability: Building success that you can maintain without sacrificing your soul
Your Mid-Year Reset: Born For This 5-Day Purpose Challenge
If you’re ready to make the second half of 2025 your most aligned and authentic yet, I invite you to join our 5-Day Purpose Challenge.
This isn’t another productivity course or time management system. This is a deep dive into discovering and living from your authentic purpose—in the boardroom, at home, and everywhere in between.
Over five transformative days, we’ll explore:
- Day 1: Conducting your personal purpose audit—where are you aligned and where are you off track?
- Day 2: Identifying your core values and learning to make them non-negotiable
- Day 3: Discovering your unique gifts and how to steward them for maximum impact
- Day 4: Creating boundaries that protect your purpose while advancing your career
- Day 5: Designing your second-half strategy for integrated success
This challenge is designed specifically for women like you—successful, ambitious, and seeking to live from a place of authentic purpose rather than external pressure.
The Truth About Sustainable Success
Here’s what I know after years of working with high-achieving women: The most successful among them aren’t the ones who work the hardest. They’re the ones who work from the clearest sense of purpose.
They understand that true success isn’t about climbing someone else’s ladder—it’s about building your own staircase, one that leads to a destination you actually want to reach.
Your mid-year performance review might measure your productivity, but your purpose review measures your peace. Your quarterly reports might track your revenue, but your spiritual audit tracks your rest.
Both matter. Both are necessary. And when they’re aligned, both become exponentially more powerful.
The second half of 2025 can be different.
It can be the half where you stop performing for applause and start living from purpose. Where you stop chasing someone else’s definition of success and start building your own. Where your faith and your career finally stop competing for space in your life and start collaborating for impact.
But only if you’re willing to do the work of alignment.
Ready to make the second half of your year your most purposeful yet?

For the woman who has climbed every mountain, checked every box, and still feels like something’s missing
You did everything right.
The MBA or professional degree. The corner office with the view. The salary that makes your parents proud and your college friends a little envious. You’ve shattered glass ceilings, exceeded quarterly targets, and built a reputation as the woman who gets things done.
So why do you feel so empty?
If you’re reading this at 11 pm on a Tuesday, laptop balanced on your knees while everyone else sleeps, you’re not alone. You’re part of a generation of high-achieving women who are discovering that success, as traditionally defined, comes with a price tag no one warned us about.
The Paradox of Achievement
Here’s what nobody tells you about climbing the corporate ladder: each rung takes you further from yourself.
The higher you climb, the more you’re expected to conform to an unspoken code. Show up early, stay late, never let them see you sweat. Be tough enough to command respect, but not so tough that you’re labeled “difficult.” Be a team player, but ruthless enough to win. And whatever you do, don’t let your faith show too much—keep it under cover, acknowledged but never discussed.
This isn’t just about work-life balance. This is about total-life balance. And for many of us, the scales are dangerously tilted.
The Faith Factor: Living Split in Two
As a woman of faith navigating the professional world, you’re intimately familiar with the art of code-switching. There’s the version of you that shows up to the boardroom—sharp, strategic, maybe a little guarded. And there’s the version that shows up to Bible study or Sunday service—authentic, vulnerable, connected to something bigger than quarterly earnings. It’s exhausting.
The exhaustion isn’t just from the 60-hour weeks. It’s from maintaining two different versions of yourself, never quite able to bring your whole self to either space.
You find yourself asking questions that feel dangerous to voice:
- Can I be successful AND faithful?
- Is ambition a sin if it’s driving me away from what matters most?
- How do I honor God with my gifts while competing in a world that seems to reward everything but love?
The Hidden Costs of Compartmentalized Success
The Physical Cost: Your body is keeping score. The stress headaches, the 3 am anxiety spirals, the way your shoulders carry the weight of impossible expectations. When you’re constantly switching between versions of yourself, your nervous system never fully relaxes. It’s exhausting.
The Relational Cost: Your relationships become transactional. Networking replaces fellowship. Even your closest friendships start to feel like another item on your to-do list. You’re surrounded by people but profoundly lonely. It’s isolating.
The Creative Cost: Remember when you used to dream? Not just about promotions or profit margins, but about making a difference? That creative spark that once burned bright now flickers under the weight of spreadsheets and strategic plans. It’s depressing.
The Spiritual Cost: This one cuts deepest. You start to feel like you’re playing a role rather than living your calling. Your prayers become more like performance reviews with God, focusing on what you’ve accomplished rather than who you’re becoming. It’s depressing and disconnecting.
The Integration Solution
What if I told you that the problem isn’t your success—it’s the way you’ve been taught to pursue it?
True integration, authentic or extraordinary living isn’t about adding more spiritual practices to your already packed schedule. It’s about recognizing that your faith and your work aren’t separate compartments of your life—they’re meant to inform and strengthen each other.
Integration means:
- Bringing your values into your decision-making, not just your personal time
- Seeing your professional skills as gifts to be stewarded, not just tools for advancement
- Understanding that your influence in the workplace is part of your ministry, not separate from it
- Recognizing that rest isn’t just a nice idea—it’s a command and a necessity
The Path Forward: From Burnout to Purpose
The women who thrive—truly thrive—aren’t the ones who work harder. They’re the ones who work from a place of clarity about their purpose.
They understand that success without alignment is just sophisticated suffering. They’ve learned to:
- Define success on their own terms, not by external metrics alone
- Integrate their faith into their life and leadership, becoming more effective, not less
- Set boundaries that honor both their ambitions and their values
- Build communities that support their whole selves, not just their professional personas
- Find and live their unique calling within their career, not despite it
Your Next Step: Born For This 5-Day Purpose Challenge
If you’re tired of feeling split in two, if you’re ready to discover how your faith can actually fuel your success rather than compete with it, I invite you to join our 5-Day Purpose Challenge.
Over five days, we’ll explore:
- Day 1: Uncovering your authentic definition of success
- Day 2: Identifying your core values and how they show up at work
- Day 3: Discovering your unique gifts and how to steward them
- Day 4: Creating boundaries that honor both ambition and rest
- Day 5: Designing a life where faith and success integrate seamlessly
This isn’t another productivity hack or time management system. This is about reconnecting with the woman God created you to be—in the boardroom, at home, and everywhere in between.
The Truth About Thriving
Here’s what I’ve learned after working with hundreds of high-achieving women: You don’t have to choose between success and authenticity. You don’t have to check your faith at the office door. You don’t have to live split in two.
But you do have to be willing to redefine what success looks like when it’s aligned with your deepest values and highest calling.
The path forward isn’t about doing more—it’s about being more. More integrated. More authentic. More aligned with the purposes God has placed on your heart.
Your success was never meant to cost you your soul. It was meant to be an expression of it.
Ready to discover what integrated success looks like for you?

When God’s love is the lens through which you see life, you are “never not” grateful. Your gratitude extends to all things, like being grateful for the California palm trees and sunshine that remind you of the incredible comfort of our Creator. If you’re a foodie, you’re grateful for the chef @ilpastaio_bh, whose Tagliolini Tartufo and Torta Limone are ALWAYS excellent.
You recognize that He gives everyone purpose and gifts to make our life experiences beautiful.
Who else can create man- male and female – with gifts of strength, skill, and intellect like this?
Let all creation praise him, from the chef to scientist to the preacher to the diplomat, by living their purpose to the fullest with joy and excellence.
God helps you recognize and respect the pure purpose of others.
But there’s more.
After you’ve seen, experienced, and enjoyed their good works and are basking in the intense feelings of joy, satisfaction, and awe, wonder what you do?
Beloved, those feelings should first lead you to acknowledge the Omnipotent One – our Father who art in heaven. The acknowledgment is that he is the Creator of all, gives gifts to all men, and is good. He is perfection, the personification of love, and when we admire anything in the creation or what a created being does, praise belongs to him.
Now, don’t panic.
To acknowledge this truth doesn’t have to become an all-night prayer session or a forty-day fast; your heart can release sincere thanks from your seat in the stands, in the car on the way home, on the sofa in front of the TV. Expressing your gratitude can happen anywhere, anytime, and any place.
The point is to get in the habit of putting God back at the center of your thought-life. You must be intentional about making him the priority of your praise until it becomes automatic. This is essential for proper spiritual growth and moves you beyond mere religious sentimentalism into a bona fide authentic faith that produces the life God declared and designed for you.
He wants you to get closer to him. He wants you to experience the life He gave all for you to have. Your extraordinary life awaits.
To be balanced, though, please know that I am not saying this absolves you from being kind and offering compliments, encouragement, and blessings to others when warranted. Beloved, the golden rule is still the rule.
I’m encouraging you to LEARN TO PUT AND KEEP HIM FIRST IN ALL THINGS, and then everything else makes sense. Here’s an insider tip: when God is first, the things that come second and third are even more enjoyable, fulfilling, and fun.
Umm, that’s it today. You know my mind is “never not” on Him. Blessings to you!

There is no love better or more significant than God’s love. It is the standard and guide for our lives. It is the essence of extraordinary living.
In fact, by divine design, every relationship we have is an opportunity to experience an aspect of God’s love.
When considering that life comprises relationships, it becomes crucial to understand that properly managing relationships means managing them according to God’s plan.
Relationship management becomes just as much of an act of worship as a reflection of our worship.
Unfortunately, in the case of relationships, perceptions RULE when TRUTH should prevail. When a relationship is perceived as good, it’s good, but when perceived as bad, it can lead to evil work. And this is not always based on God’s assessment but on man’s feelings or determination.
Managing relationships according to God’s standards is always the safest, most reliable course of action. It leads to freedom. In truth, it can sometimes cause discomfort as you wrap your mind around his facts, align your emotions with his will, and learn to allow His Spirit to guide you through uncharted waters, but the outcome is worth it.
Your knowledge and experience of God’s love of and for you truly unlocks levels of joy and peace never imagined. It causes every fear, concern, and doubt to dissipate. It’s like air.
Beloved, we must remember that God is the one who judges. When it comes to understanding love and relationships, things can go wrong despite your best efforts, hopes, and dreams, but as believers, you must always, always, always seek God.
God judges. God heals. God is the one who ensures that all things work together for the good of those who love him. God is the one who can ensure you do not suffer utter destruction from what may feel like an unrecoverable loss.
God is able to redeem the time. God is able to restore. Be grateful for what you’ve learned. God is bigger than the religious constraints men try to impose. Some may not understand your decisions, but trust God and move forward in love. God is liberating. God is love. God overcomes PERCEPTION and brings you to a divine romance that will make other relationships pale in comparison. God sets and maintains standards. Trust him with your entire life.
You must surrender to His truth to be free to love and live as God intended. You must submit to the renovating work of the Holy Spirit on your mind, soul, strength, and might. You must learn to allow the Word to speak to and in you louder and more profoundly than any other voice you’ve ever given your ear to. Choose your teachers wisely. Then, you must buckle up, obey the Lord, and enjoy the journey.
I hear the Lord calling us to radical faith. Radical faith begins with radical love, and that starts with falling in love with God. For some, it is a return; for others, it’s a new adventure wherever you are on your journey; know that, ultimately, it’s why you were created. As you commit to your first love, may your heart and mind be filled with the truth that in Him is the place of true fulfillment, peace, and unspeakable joy.
Make your relationship with the Lord the priority of your life, and all your other relationships will become precisely what they should be according to the word of God.
My prayer for you today is that you learn the true power of love and yield to Him who is Love.

Praise expresses the level of admiration, approval, or value you have for something. It reflects what is in your heart; therefore, your praise should reveal the depth of your love, admiration, and respect for God. Your praise comprises more than your response to a call for praise in a worship service. It is far more than when you think you’re doing it because you’re having a good time. The truth is, your entire life is your praise. Do not think that God does not see and know everything. He doesn’t look at your offering of praise in church or that moment in the car. Faith is not episodic. It is a continual flow and leads to an uninterrupted experience of life and freedom. So then, beyond clapping your hands or shouting, stop and consider all 168 hours of the week and ask yourself, is my life a praise to God? Resist the urge to get overly religious here or proclaim that no one is perfect. But examine yourself to determine if your faith is woven throughout the tapestry of your life.
Your life, every day, every breath, every word should reflect your conscious choice to believe and exude confidence in the one who saves. This confidence does not give you a pass from challenges, difficulties, or issues but provides an assurance that God is with you and he is able. You must be confident that my God can, but if he doesn’t, He is still God. When this confidence is present, praise doesn’t waver based on circumstances. Your praise should not be based on how you feel but on the facts of God’s value and worth. Your life should always speak well of God and your confidence in him.
Consider Ephesians 3:20 and let it illuminate how you speak to and of God. May your conversation be filled with confidence in his love for you and his ability to do more than you can ask or imagine. Let the praise of your life fill the earth.

God desires that we experience Truth’s profound and liberating power in the core of our being. This TRUTH cannot be shaken. It cannot be destroyed. It gives you the courage to obey. It compels you to be responsible. It transforms how you live, love, and serve.
This TRUTH is not used as a weapon to hurt others but as an instrument of righteousness that brings healing and restoration. It is a protection against the enemy’s attack. TRUTH keeps you balanced and connects all the other components of your life. Yet, this TRUTH will separate. It will break the unrighteous from the righteous. It will disclose the hidden agendas and thoughts of man. You must not fear the activity of truth and accept that it brings both positive and negative responses. Your aim, beloved, is to stand with God.
Embrace TRUTH with a heart and mind filled with gratitude. Surrender to the transforming power of the TRUTH by receiving, believing, and applying it to your life. Doing this leads to freedom and confidence, unlike anything you could imagine.
But know that your decision to believe and receive must be deliberate. You will not stumble into righteousness or increased faith or perfected fulfillment of your purpose. It requires God. God gave us free will, and we must willingly choose Truth. It is erroneous to think that God will force you to receive it. It is there daily, offered for every situation, but you must choose it. When you don’t know the Truth, you must seek it.
Seek it through God’s word, not the world’s opinion. Get assistance from those who are intimately acquainted with Truth. Recognize that titles and popularity may not indicate a divine relationship. Invest in those who, through faith and experience, can help you see and understand God better.
You must determine not to fight against the disruption that comes as you embrace Truth. You should expect disruption because once you surrender and open up every aspect of your life, Truth will move through uncovering, restoring, building, breaking, revealing, and healing until it has a place to dwell. Truth does not reside with lies.
Being filled with Truth makes you kingdom-useful.
Today, right now, make a deliberate decision to know Truth. Decide to seek Truth over honesty. Celebrate the freedom that TRUTH brings to your life. Walk in the newness of life. You don’t have to explain the change. No one has to permit you to walk in freedom. Don’t let anything or anyone shut down the liberty truth gives.
Rejoice in the transformative and liberating power of God’s TRUTH. And if you don’t know it, cry out to God. That means to pray. Pray that he who hears and gives freely will open your heart and eyes to know the Truth more intimately. I am confident that He, who is also kind and merciful, will lead you to a greater revelation of Truth. He gives wisdom and understanding. Why? Because he created you to live an extraordinary life. He created you to honor him. He loves you.
You were created to be filled with Truth, love, and wisdom. I pray that you are inspired to have a greater appreciation for Truth. May that appreciation and respect cause you to seek and obey the Truth as if your life depended on it. Because, in Truth, it does.
I pray that as you embrace more Truth, every barrier to God’s plan for your life is revealed so that through the employment of Truth and wisdom, obstacles may be dismantled and lead you to your extraordinary life and purpose.
Blessings you!

Happy Monday! Simple thought as we begin the week.
Let the knowledge that God not only has the answers to your prayers but desires to give them to you motivate you to maintain a consistent prayer life.
I am convinced that it is not the tone, tenor, length, or volume associated with a prayer that matters, but honestly, the heart that is set to receive and do His will that gains the respect of God and lives under an open heaven. He gives answers to those who are set to obey his will.
If your answers always look like what you thought or wanted, I challenge you today to think again. God is not to be considered the confirmer of your will, but He is the advancer and advocate of his plan. He is the Lord. You must pray, get answers, and obey if the kingdom is to be advanced.
Today, I invite you to elevate your prayer life and persist in praying until you come to clear and definite answers. Resist bowing to your soul as it tries to mimic the Holy Spirit, giving you a feeling of religious piety by making you feel spiritual because you’ve prayed. Contend for the faith by committing to prayer like your life depends on an answer. Learn to respect the presence of the Holy Spirit and follow his direction.
These are just a few things that make prayer powerful and effective. Consider them today, and allow the love and power of our God to guide you to all truth. There is more, but it’s run time; I’ll share it on the next podcast.
Blessings to you!

Recently, I witnessed a scene that caused me to consider how easy it is to digress from a powerful and vital relationship with God to simply putting together programs and pulling off events. I usually refer to this as “check the box church,” which I am convinced has little to no kingdom expanding power.
Okay, back to the scene. There was a group gathered together and everyone was busy. It was obvious they had a mission and purpose. They were all willing to complete the task and were glad to be working for the Lord. What was made abundantly clear as I watched the scene unfold was the absence of the presence of God. Though the task was for him, it really wasn’t about him. It wasn’t fueled by faith, passion, or love for him. They work was fueled by other motives. It was at that point that the Holy Spirit opened my eyes to this thought: people are making ministry/ service their lives instead of using their lives to serve. I know it sounds like a conundrum, but think about it for a moment. We often get so focused on performance and accomplishing tasks (especially if we say they are for God) that we forget the most important thing is our relationship with the Father. Ministry is a gift from God and does not replace the cultivation of an intimate relationship with the Lord or holy living.
God doesn’t simply look at the works, but the heart of man. Works that are not motivated by God and surrounded by faith are pointless. A sacrifice given from an unclean vessel is unacceptable. This is a major contributor to a believer’s inability to live at the next level. We must accept that God first calls us to him then to service.
Our lives are a gift from God. We are strategically positioned to reveal his glory. Be careful that you are being who God wants you to be more than doing what you “think” will please him. Be careful not to fall into the trap of offering God your works when what he really wants is you. God doesn’t need another program, event, or offering placed before him while your heart remains far from him. In the course of your busy life remember to dedicate and guard your time for personal prayer, renewal, and growth. Honor the Lord by the way you live every day. Your service will be more powerful. You’ll also experience more personal joy and fulfillment.
The word of the Lord is: “to what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? I am full of the burnt offerings of rams and the fat of fed beast; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of the goats. What the Lord requires is: to fear the Lord thy God, to walk in all his ways and to love him, and to serve the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, to keep his commandments and his statutes.”
Don’t try to give God a sacrifice before you’ve first given him your obedience.
Blessings to you!
