Shownotes

If you've ever felt like scaling your business came at the expense of your peace, your family, or your health... you're not alone. In this episode of Your Big Next, I’m being completely honest on the real cost of chasing exponential growth when it’s not rooted in alignment. I’m sharing why the common narrative around scaling is broken, what it cost me personally, and how we can build something better—something sustainable, life-giving, and rooted in God’s timing.

You’ll hear:

  • Why “scale at all costs” is one of the most damaging lies in entrepreneurship
  • How to discern when you’re being called to expand and when you’re forcing it
  • What my body and soul were trying to tell me during the busiest growth season
  • The Calling Integrity Grid I now use to check in with myself before making big moves
  • 3 powerful shifts you can make to grow with peace, not pressure

My hope is that this episode is your permission slip to grow differently—to build a business that serves your God given life calling, not the other way around.
