The Work As Worship Podcast | Christian Business Motivation for Women
This is the podcast for Christian women who want their Monday work to actually matter on Sunday — and vice versa. Whether you're raising babies, building a brand, wrangling spreadsheets, or just trying to figure out what you're even called to do... this show is for you. Each week, we talk about how to align your calling, work, and faith in a way that feels real — not cheesy, not vague, and without manifestation or the prosperity gospel. Just honest conversations, practical encouragement, and deep dives into how your everyday work really can be worship. If you've ever felt stuck, burnt out, or l...
From Blending In to Standing Out: Branding with Personality
Feel like you're getting crickets when you post? It's not because your content is bad — and it’s definitely not because you're forgettable. It's because you're hiding.
In this episode, I’ll share why blending in is the fastest way to get overlooked, how embracing your God-given personality is actually your best branding strategy, and what it practically looks like to infuse your God-given uniqueness into your content, offers, and marketing.
We’ll also talk about the spiritual side of branding — how knowing your identity in Christ gives you the boldne...
NEW Podcast Name + Update!
In this short update, I’m sharing why the podcast has a new name — The Work As Worship Podcast — and how we’re opening the doors wider to support Christian women in all kinds of work, not just entrepreneurs. I can’t wait for you to step into this new season with me!
Christ-Centered Somatics for Business Women
In this episode of The Voca Podcast, I’m joined by a Christ-Centered Somatic Practitioner, Lacey Jervis, for a conversation about the body—and why it matters in the life of a kingdom-driven woman.
We talk about how so many of us have learned to ignore or override our physiological experiences in the name of productivity, hustle, or even spiritual maturity. But God designed our nervous systems on purpose! When we learn to honor how He made us—body, mind, and soul—we begin to experience a pace of peace, presence, and purpose that aligns w...
Are You Building in the City of God or the City of Man?
Every day, whether we realize it or not, we’re building something with our lives and businesses. But what are we building, and who are we building for? In this episode, we dive into Augustine’s City of God vs. City of Man framework and how it applies to Christian entrepreneurs. Are you working from self-reliance, striving, and fear—or from faith, trust, and worship? Jesus offers us a way to work that isn’t exhausting but eternal. Let’s talk about how to build the right way, on the right foundation.

Christians Have an Unfair Advantage in Business—Here’s Why! (Interview with Erick Vargas of Sabbath Space)
What if failure wasn’t something to fear—but an *essential* part of success? In this episode, I sit down with Erick Vargas, serial entrepreneur and creator of Sabbath Space, to talk about the freedom Christian entrepreneurs have when their identity isn’t tied to success or failure. Erick shares his own journey of three successful tech start ups, the lessons he learned, and why (and how!) Christians can take back control over their devices.
If you’ve ever struggled with fear of failure, wondered why your venture isn't taking off, or wondered how to pract...
Half-Truths Christians Say About Emotions: Interview with Therapist Ashleigh Guynn
In this episode, I sit down with my friend Ashleigh Guynn, a licensed therapist, to explore some of the common phrases Christians use when talking about emotions—phrases like ‘your feelings are lying to you’ or ‘God is in control, so you shouldn’t feel afraid.’
While these sayings sound spiritual, they can sometimes oversimplify complex emotional struggles and prevent true emotional engagement with God. Ashleigh helps us unpack what the Bible really says about emotions, how to replace half-truth clichés with God’s truth, and why emotions are part of our God-designed human experienc...
Wired for Dominion: Neuroplasticity, Productivity, and Entrepreneurship with Alexa Steckbeck
What if the way you think could be rewired—not through self-help trends like manifesting, but through the tools God has already given us? In this episode, I sit down with my friend Alexa Steckbeck to explore the fascinating topic of neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to rewire itself—and how it relates to biblical truth, productivity, and entrepreneurship. Together, we unpack how theology plays a key role in reshaping our thoughts, and why God’s design for our brains is so amazing! Hit play to discover how neuroscience and Scripture work hand in hand to empower you as a Christia...

In a world full of pressure and endless to-do lists, play might seem like a luxury or even a distraction for entrepreneurs. But what if joy-filled play is actually a powerful act of faith?

Conquering Imposter Syndrome with Biblical Confidence
We struggle with imposter syndrome in new ways at every step of our business endeavors. The more we grow in Christian maturity and understanding how "not awesome" we truly are, the more the enemy will try to cripple us with feelings of inadequacy. We need a robust theology to help us conquer imposter syndrome through Scripture; the world's band-aid solutions will not last.

WHY Did God Create Mundane Work? | Part 3

I knew that ultimately these mundane tasks supported things like a clean and hospitable home, healthy living, or my big exciting work projects, but that just didn’t seem like a good enough reason for these tasks’ existence.
