Have you ever felt like you're taking a step backward in your business? Like things that used to flow easily suddenly feel slow, quiet, or uncertain?

In today's episode, I'm sharing about what it really means to walk through a season of refinement — and how I've learned that those hard seasons aren't wasted ones. From rebuilding my business after moving from Georgia to Charleston, to seeing God's hand in the quiet in-between, I'm reminded that refinement isn't failure. It's formation.

We'll talk about what refinement looks like, how to recognize when you're in it, and how to lean into the process instead of rushing through it.

Because sometimes the seasons that feel like falling behind are actually the ones that make you the strongest!
