You know you're made for more, but something keeps holding you back. That "something" might just be you. In this illuminating conversation with Denise Walsh—former clinical psychologist, motivational speaker, and multimillion-dollar entrepreneur—we unpack the psychology behind self-sabotage and how to finally break free from these limiting patterns.

At its essence, self-sabotage is saying you want something and then not doing it. This simple yet profound definition helps us recognize when we're standing in our own way. Denise explains how this cycle erodes our self-trust over time, creating a downward spiral where we stop believing in our own commitments before we even try. She dives deep into the roots of self-sabotage—our self-image, subconscious programming from childhood, and stress levels that keep us making short-term comfort choices instead of decisions aligned with our true desires.

What makes this conversation truly transformative is Denise's practical four-part framework for overcoming self-sabotage: habits (repetition is key), home (creating an environment that supports your goals), hypnosis (reprogramming your subconscious), and health (because feeling good physically enables everything else). As a mom who built her business while raising young children, Denise shares candid insights about releasing mom guilt, compartmentalizing work and family time, and the freedom that comes from asking for help.

For the spiritual entrepreneur, Denise offers a refreshing perspective on how faith guides us through the unknown territory between our current reality and desired future. Her mantra "the how shows up as you're moving your feet" reminds us that clarity comes through action, not endless planning. If you're feeling that divine nudge toward something greater, this episode will give you the courage to say yes and keep your spark lit.

Are you constantly measuring your worth by your achievements? That hustle culture mindset can be devastating for Christian mompreneurs trying to balance business growth with family priorities. In this soul-stirring episode, I dive deep into the profound difference between the world's definition of success and God's perspective.

The truth might surprise you. While we're bombarded with messages about productivity, income goals, and visible results, God's economy operates on entirely different principles. Success isn't about checking all the boxes or hitting arbitrary milestones—it's about faithfulness and obedience to what He's specifically called you to do. I share my personal struggle with this misconception and how God is currently transforming my understanding of true achievement.

One revelation that might free you: the problem isn't necessarily what individual Christian business coaches are telling you. It's that you're following dozens of them simultaneously, creating an impossible standard no one person could meet. This insight alone could relieve the pressure you've been putting on yourself. I also share the powerful story of Dr. Leslie, a missionary who returned from 17 years in the Congo believing he had failed completely—only for others to discover years later that his faithful service had sparked a thriving network of churches. What seeds are you planting that you can't yet see the harvest from?

Ready to redefine success according to God's standards? Download my Weekly Rhythm Guide designed specifically for busy moms to help you align your time with your true priorities. Remember Galatians 6:9—don't grow weary in doing good. In due season, you will reap if you don't give up!

Ever felt like motherhood and entrepreneurship are pulling you in opposite directions? Pediatric speech therapist Jessie Kinsey proves there's another way forward.

Balancing a thriving speech therapy practice with raising two boys under three, Jessie shares how she's created flexibility that honors both her business goals and her desire to be present during these fleeting early years. Much like her approach to raising little ones, her business philosophy centers on intention rather than perfection.

Motherhood often comes with an overwhelming pressure to "do more" for our children's development. Jessie liberates us from this burden with practical strategies that transform everyday moments—bath time, diaper changes, car rides—into language-rich opportunities without adding a single item to our to-do lists. Her approach of using simple, repeated phrases during daily routines makes language development accessible to every parent, regardless of schedule constraints.

Beyond sharing professional advice like using verbal routines ("ready, set...") and starting with just a few baby signs, Jessie opens up about the reality of balancing it all. Her candid discussion about setting boundaries—putting away her phone during family time, communicating clearly with clients and team members about her availability—provides a roadmap for moms who want to pursue their calling without sacrificing family connection.

"So much goodness happens when you are completely present with your child," Jessie reminds us, offering permission to set aside distractions and trust that these small, intentional moments add up to something extraordinary—both for our children's development and our own fulfillment.
