The Faith-Fueled Mompreneur Podcast

Have you ever followed a coach’s exact roadmap, only to feel even more confused, exhausted, or unsure if it was God’s plan for you? In Part 2 of this series, we’re diving into how to DISCERN the right kind of coaching support, why misalignment leads to burnout, and how to recognize when a strategy, even a “successful” one, is pulling you off the path God has for you. We’ll talk about the difference between worldly and godly coaching, what happens when we chase results without spiritual growth, and how to protect your heart and vision as a Christian mompreneur. Because true transformation doesn’t happen through pressure or performance, it happens through ALIGNMENT and OBEDIENCE. Whether you’re searching for a new coach or reevaluating past investments, this episode will help you slow down, tune in, and move forward in faith. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Why coaching misalignment creates unsustainable results The spiritual cost of chasing worldly strategies Key differences between worldly and godly coaching Questions to ask before hiring your next coach How to make decisions rooted in discernment, not fear Why your business can only grow as far as you do Listen now → Ep 211.
