How to Start Over After Loss: Rebuilding Your Identity, Faith & Business With God — with Wanda Lambert

Have you walked through a hard season that changed you so deeply that you’re not quite sure who you are anymore, or how you’re supposed to start again?

Maybe you’ve experienced loss, disappointment, financial setbacks, burnout, divorce, or a major life transition. You know God is calling you forward, but part of you is tired of rebuilding and wondering, Do I really have it in me to start over again?

In this episode of The Called CEO Podcast, Monique sits down with Christian messaging strategist and entrepreneur Wanda Lambert for an honest conversation about rebuilding after loss, rediscovering your identity in Christ, renewing your mind, and learning to build your life and business with God.

After walking through divorce, losing nearly everything during Hurricane Maria, career changes, the pandemic, and multiple business transitions, Wanda shares what God taught her about surrender, identity, resilience, and allowing Him to lead.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• How hard seasons can expose where your identity has become attached to success, possessions, or what you’ve built • What it looks like to rebuild your life and business after significant loss • How to recognize self-sabotaging thought patterns and renew your mind with Scripture • Why rebuilding from surrender is different from rebuilding in survival mode • How to seek God’s direction instead of depending only on another strategy, coach, Google, or AI • What it means to let God be the CEO of your business

If you’re a Christian woman rebuilding after a hard season and wondering whether you have the strength to begin again, this conversation will remind you that you were never meant to rebuild in your own strength.

The Called CEO Podcast Faith, Identity & Business for Christian Women Rebuilding After Hard Seasons

Episode 57:Hear God Clearly — Positioning Your Heart to Receive His Direction in Life & Business

You've asked God for direction more times than you can count. You've prayed over the decision, the offer, the next step in your business — and still found yourself wondering, "Was that God, or was that just what I wanted to hear?"

What if the real question isn't "how do I hear God more clearly," but "is my heart even positioned to hear Him?"

In this episode, I walk through the story of Solomon — a new king facing an assignment far bigger than himself, who didn't ask God for wealth, long life, or victory over his enemies. He asked for a hearing heart. The Hebrew phrase, lev shomea, means exactly that — a heart that can truly listen.

We talk about what it actually looks like to position your heart to hear God: guarding against a hardened heart that resists correction, cultivating real intimacy so you recognize His voice the way you'd recognize someone close to you, and testing what you believe you're hearing against His Word.

I also unpack the sobering second half of Solomon's story — how a man who began by asking for a hearing heart later let his heart turn away — and what that means for you as you steward whatever God has entrusted to you, whether that's your identity, your calling, or your business.

Because hearing God was never meant to stop at revelation. It was meant to lead to discernment, wisdom, and ultimately, obedience.

If you've been asking God for a strategy, this episode invites you to ask for something first: a heart that can truly hear Him as you build.

Kingdom Business: How to Build With God and Follow His Blueprint — Part 1

You know God has called you to build, but are you building from His blueprint, or simply following strategies that worked for someone else?

As Christian entrepreneurs, we can learn marketing, sales, strategy, and business, but information was never meant to become our source. God is our Source.

In this episode of The Called CEO Podcast, we’re going back to Genesis 1:28 to explore God’s original mandate of fruitfulness, multiplication, stewardship, and dominion, and what those principles can teach us about building a Kingdom business with God.

We’ll also look at Joseph and Daniel and see how God-given revelation, wisdom, practical strategy, and excellent stewardship can work together.

If fear, insecurity, comparison, or uncertainty have caused you to shrink what God has placed in your hands, this episode will challenge you to reconsider how you’re building.

Kingdom business doesn’t mean we don’t need strategy. It means strategy is not our god.
