Grace grew up thinking it normal to work late nights (all the time), pack her schedule, push her body to its limits.

This kind of lifestyle had been glorified in the fast-paced, Ivy-League-striving Bay Area where she'd grown up.

And still... it was never enough. But she kept pushing through anyway, to "maximize" her life and impact.

But what she DIDN'T realize were all the HIDDEN costs she was incurring over the years...

• Chronic stress from the endless to-do's.

• Constant guilt for not doing more for more people.

• Depletion, low energy, mood swings from sleep deprivation, stress eating, lack of self-care and TRUE, deep soul rest.

• All the stress her body was storing.

• The unexplainable itchy rashes, fainting spells, even a seizure.

• Scary 9-1-1 calls and ER visits...

Fast forward to today...

We're both full-time entrepreneurs amidst a very different yet also very similar world of hustle culture, high stakes and even MORE pressure, opportunities to endlessly work and burn ourselves to the ground...

But thank God... we've learned a BETTER WAY to work - and LIVE.

If you've ever wondered:

"Is it NORMAL to wear busyness & perfectionism like a badge?"

"How do I get OUT of these cycles of chronic burnout, which my social events, hangouts, trips, PTO, Netflix, etc. just can't seem to fix?!"

"Why does Jesus tell us we can take his yoke AND live 'freely and lightly'? Is it too good to be true??"

We pray that this testimony episode encourages you. ❤️

Today we're joined by Peggy Bodde, who found herself rising in the ranks of corporate America for 25 years, when she got an undeniable call from the Holy Spirit to leave her successful career as Senior Vice President.

In 2014, she began her "Act II" as a full-time writer & small business owner, founding Sacred Work, which provides women with free career & leadership coaching.

Join us as we unpack:

• Peggy's personal testimony of taking the leap of faith out of the corporate world, & what God taught her along the way

• The roots of imposter syndrome & practical strategies to overcome it

• How to know if your job has become an idol

• The unique challenges female leaders face, both in the marketplace & ministry

• How to approach "self-advocacy" through a faith-based perspective

• What it looks like to invite the Holy Spirit into problems at work

• Tips for making hard decisions wisely

• What Peggy would do differently if she could go back, as one of the only few female leaders in the organization

and more...

We pray you're reassured that you're not alone in your struggles, and that you're left encouraged, empowered, and equipped to navigate your work & leadership journey with God's help & practical wisdom!

What if we told you: you might be slowly losing your soul... without you even knowing it?

Alan George sits down with us to share his vulnerable struggles, testimonies, and lessons learned about how his upbringing and experiences led him to discover the importance of spiritual formation and taking care of your soul—which goes way beyond just leadership skills and habit formation.

We break down what spiritual formation is, why it matters, and how it has totally transformed Alan's life and his family.

Practically, we also talk about practices and mindset shifts that can help you cultivate a deep and authentic connection with Jesus and tend to your soul, even in the midst of life's busyness and distractions.

Life is FULL of ups and downs. Our schedules quickly get packed. Our to-do lists often feel endless… and only keep getting longer.

At the same time… God invites us to find REST, peace, and strength we need from him.

But HOW do we practically do that, in the midst of an increasingly fast-paced world?

If there’s anyone who knows this struggle, it’s Anthony Kennada, Co-Founder and CEO of AudiencePlus, and Alex’s former colleague turned friend.

Join us as Anthony shares powerful testimonies (including a life-changing medical miracle) and hard lessons he’s learned throughout his career and journey as an executive leader, marketer, husband, dad… and how God used all of it to ignite a personal revival in him and his family, revealing to them the importance of spiritual practices for thriving in all areas of his life, REGARDLESS of the pace and circumstances.
