Hey Friend,

Welcome to the “Start That Business” podcast, where I help Christian moms working a corporate job launch their first coaching or consulting business from scratch without quitting their jobs yet.

If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to go from the security of a 9-to-5 paycheck to building your own business, this episode is your roadmap. In the first part of our 5-part series on transitioning successfully from employee to entrepreneur, I’m joined by Samuel Mpamugo to unpack the mindset shifts and strategic steps you need before making the leap.

We’ll explore:

• The key differences between the employee mindset and the entrepreneur mindset, and why ignoring this gap can sabotage your success.
• How to plan your transition so you avoid the “crickets and panic” phase so many new entrepreneurs face.
• Why coaching can be the bridge that helps you replace limiting beliefs with the tools, skills, and confidence to thrive.

Whether you’re still in corporate life, preparing to launch your side business, or counting down the years to retirement and wondering what’s next, this conversation will challenge the way you think about entrepreneurship and equip you to start strong.

Listen in, reflect on your current mindset, and take your first step toward creating the future you want.

I pray this blesses you.

Hey Friend,

Welcome to the “Start That Business” podcast, where I help Christian moms working a corporate job launch their first coaching or consulting business from scratch without quitting their jobs yet.

What if your 9–5 income is actually God’s way of funding your calling?

In this episode, we’re diving into how to financially prepare for your coaching or consulting business before you quit your job. Your paycheck isn’t just for bills, it’s also your seed.

I’ll walk you through what I call the Joseph Strategy - a biblical, practical approach to saving inspired by Genesis 41:33-36 and 2 Corinthians 9:10. You’ll learn how to see your paycheck as both bread to eat and seed to sow into your calling.

Here’s what you’ll learn in today’s episode:

• Why saving is a spiritual act of stewardship, not a lack of faith
• How to position your household like Joseph positioned Egypt
• 3 simple, practical ways to start saving (even if your budget feels tight)
• How to navigate common challenges like unsupportive spouses or financial stress

Whether you’re just beginning to explore entrepreneurship or already clear on your vision, this episode will help you take your first financial step toward launching your business with wisdom and faith.

Your current job isn’t holding you back; it’s preparing and funding your next chapter.

I pray this blesses you.

Hey Friend,

Welcome to the “Start That Business” podcast, where I help Christian moms working a corporate job launch their first coaching or consulting business from scratch without quitting their jobs yet.

Over the last four episodes, we’ve walked through the first four steps to go from your corporate job to launching a thriving, service-based business:

Clarity (EP 121), Strategy (EP 122), Design (EP 123), and Launch (EP 124).

Now that you’ve identified your business vision, launched your MVB (Minimum Viable Business), and set up your marketing and systems, it’s time to grow.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into Step 5: Business Growth.

Think of your business like a lemonade stand—you’ve set it up, built the kitchen and the dining area, and flipped the “Open for Business” sign. But God didn’t call you to just launch your business. He called you to thrive, to serve more people, and to multiply your impact.

Key Takeaways:

• Moving from 1:1 services to scalable offers (like group programs or courses)
• Hiring a team and creating a healthy culture
• Building systems that support your next level
• Investing time and money into your highest-performing lead and sales strategies

Just like the Israelites grew after settling into their promised land, now it’s your turn. God has equipped you with everything you need. Now go build the business He’s calling you to, and watch Him multiply your impact beyond what you can imagine.

Let’s turn your corporate expertise into a thriving coaching or consulting business!

Press play and listen now.

I pray this blesses you.

Welcome to the “Start That Business” podcast, where I help Christian moms working a corporate job launch their first coaching or consulting business from scratch without quitting their jobs yet.

You've gained clarity on your business vision—now what? In this follow-up episode, we explore Numbers 13:21-25 and learn how the spies didn't just peek over the border but went deep to gather real evidence. It's time to test your calling in the real world with a strategic approach.

Discover the power of the MVB (Minimum Viable Business) mindset and why your "lemonade stand" approach is crucial before building your full business. You'll learn why 10 customers is the magic number for validation, and how to avoid the fear-based thinking that kept 10 of the 12 spies from embracing God's promise.

Key Takeaways:

• Why 10 customers is your validation target
• How to learn the right lessons from your early customers
• Timeline expectations for your strategy phase (4 weeks to 1+ year)

This episode bridges the gap between vision and action, giving you a clear roadmap to test your business idea while you're still employed.

• The three essential questions every aspiring Christian entrepreneur must answer:
  1. Who do I need to BE?

Key Takeaways:

• Why successful transitions require exploration, not just inspiration
• The 3-part Transition Clarity framework

Hey Friend,

Welcome to the Start That Business podcast, where we help Jesus-led career moms turn their expertise into their first coaching or consulting business without quitting their 9 to 5 yet.

Are you carrying church hurt, burnout, or emotional baggage while trying to launch your business? Do you find yourself showing up strong on the outside but feeling blocked, stuck, or numb on the inside? This episode is for you.

We're wrapping up our Business Book Review series with Stony Heart by Denise Boggs, and while this isn't a "business book" per se, it deeply impacted how I show up as a business owner, wife, mom, and daughter of God. Sometimes, the most important business work happens in your heart first.

If you've been trying to build a business over unhealed areas, wondering why you feel stuck despite doing "all the right things," this conversation will help you understand how inner healing creates space for sustainable entrepreneurship and kingdom leadership.

What You'll Learn:

• Why the heart you lead with becomes the culture you create in your business
• How unresolved trauma disguises itself as control, perfectionism, and people-pleasing in entrepreneurship
• The connection between soul breakthroughs and business breakthroughs
• A simple prayer to invite God to soften the stones in your heart

Scripture Focus: "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you..." - Ezekiel 36:26

Remember:

• Broken people break people
• Hurt people hurt people
• Wounded people wound people
• But healed people heal people

You can't pour from an empty cup, and you can't build a healthy business with a wounded soul. Let's talk about why healing your heart might be the most important business strategy you haven't considered.

Ready to let God soften what's been hardened? Press play and listen now.

I pray this brings a breakthrough to both your heart and your calling.
