What happens when life takes a sharp turn—and you still feel called to build something meaningful?

In this episode, I’m chatting with Chris Misterek from Showit about what it looks like to juggle a full-time job, grow a side hustle, raise a big family—and still stay grounded in faith. Chris shares his powerful story of navigating divorce, rebuilding his life from scratch, and discovering purpose in the messy middle.

Whether you’re working late into the night to build your dream or walking through a hard season of healing, this conversation will remind you that slow growth is still growth—and you don’t have to do it alone.

How Chris went from worship pastor to full-time designer and community leader at Showit

What it looks like to manage your time like a budget

Why faith and mental health are essential parts of the entrepreneurial journey

How to communicate and plan weekly with your spouse for a more balanced home
