Behind the Scenes of Our First Rooted Retreat for Christian Moms in Business

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 13:00:00 -0400

In this episode, KyAnn and I are pulling back the curtain on our very first Rooted Retreat - the small, intentional gathering we hosted for Christian moms in business built around our signature "Rooted Business" framework.

From snowstorms and canceled flights to spiritual warfare and a last-minute sweatshirt crisis, the road to retreat was anything but smooth — but it truly set the most beautiful heart posture of surrender and prayer for everyone in the room.

We're sharing what God did in that space: the vulnerable conversations, the real-time business breakthroughs, the spontaneous prayer circles, and an original song written and performed by one of our attendees that had every single one of us in tears!

If you've been looking for a retreat that goes beyond business strategy and actually meets you in your faith, your home, and your calling — this is the room for you 🫶

If you’ve been stuck overthinking how to build your first funnel, this episode is your push to finally start!

You’ll learn why you don’t need a perfect funnel, just one that works — and how to avoid the overwhelm and start taking action TODAY. If you want to stop trading time for money and start scaling more sustainably, this is your roadmap to finally make it happen in 2026.

Raising Disciples & Lifelong Learners: Honoring Homeschooling as Your Chosen Career with Lyndsey Mimnagh of Treehouse Schoolhouse

Wed, 16 Apr 2025 17:00:00 -0400

What if we approached our role as homeschool moms as our "job" and a calling on our lives? How would that impact our approach and the investment we make both in ourselves and our children?

If you’ve ever found yourself wondering if homeschooling “counts” as real work or maybe you’re craving more purpose in your role as a homeschool mom, this episode is for you! 💛

In this episode, I'm joined by Lyndsey Mimnagh of Treehouse Schoolhouse for a conversation that encouraged me SO deeply — and I know it’s going to do the same for you!

We talk about what it looks like to view homeschooling not just as a task or obligation, but as a calling… even a career in this season of motherhood. And how that shift in mindset can help you show up with more joy, clarity, and grace in your everyday rhythms at home.

You’ll also hear us chat through how to seek God in the small decisions, create an environment that nurtures both learning and discipleship, and how to care for yourself in the process too.

In this episode, we cover:

✨ Honoring homeschooling as your current career and calling

✨ Why mindset and heart posture matter more than a perfect schedule

✨ Simple ways to invest in yourself as a mom and educator

✨ How to pray through your homeschool days and decisions

✨ Discipling your kids through everyday life and learning

This is a heartfelt, grace-filled conversation to help you realign your heart and see your work at home as worship.

Thu, 10 Apr 2025 19:00:00 -0400

Running your business shouldn’t feel like you’re constantly treading water. If it does, this spring reset is exactly what you need.

In this episode, I’m walking you through how to spring clean your business by simplifying what’s too complex, letting go of what’s no longer serving you, and refreshing the parts that just need a little love. I’ve been in a season of re-evaluating everything—offers, platforms, even my mindset—and I’m sharing exactly what that process has looked like for me. If you’re craving clarity, focus, and more peace in how you show up, this one’s for you.

Here’s what we’re covering:

What to simplify in your systems and offers
How to let go of the things that once worked but don’t anymore
Why pruning your business isn’t failure—it’s growth
Simple steps to refresh what you already have
How to bring your goals and business changes before the Lord

Juggling Motherhood and Ministry When Life Feels Chaotic (with Emily Hill)

Wed, 02 Apr 2025 11:00:00 -0400

If you’ve ever felt like your life doesn’t look “spiritual enough” or like you’re doing all the right things but still falling short, this episode’s for you. I want you to know that God meets us right in the mess, and that’s often where He does His best work.

In today’s episode, I’m interviewing my new friend Emily Hill –a wife, a mom, a social worker, a hospice chaplain, a speaker, and an author (I know, right?!) all about following God’s call even when it didn’t make a whole lot of sense on paper.

We talked about juggling motherhood, ministry, and seminary, and what it looked like to stay connected to the Lord in the middle of it. She also opens up about walking through miscarriage, wrestling with anger toward God, and what it really means to live in His grace, not just talk about it.

In this episode:

Obeying God’s call in overwhelming seasons
Letting go of the pressure to “have it all together”
Staying in the Word when life feels nonstop
Faith, grief, and finding God in the mess

In this episode, we cover:

Alexis’ journey from top 1% network marketer to business coach — and the moment she realized her success had become her identity
How to find the balance between being ambitious and still honoring your call to present motherhood
What biblical rest actually looks like

Why I’m Simplifying My Business to Spend More Time at Home with My Kids

Wed, 19 Mar 2025 09:00:00 -0400

If you’ve ever felt stretched thin trying to juggle business and family and ALL THE THINGS, this is for you.

The truth is, the past few months I've felt pretty drained in my life + business. There are a lot of personal things causing big decision fatigue, and it has definitely impacted the energy and focus I have for work. Don't get my wrong, I LOVE my business, but I’ve also made it way more complicated than it needs to be. And honestly? I've realized recently that the reason my life doesn’t feel as slow and peaceful as I want it to be is all on me!

I don’t have an off switch when it comes to ideas and goals, and while that ambition has served me well in some ways, it’s also keeping me from the slower, more present life I say I want.

So, after a lot of prayer and reflection, I’m making some big shifts. It feels both terrifying and freeing, but I know this is what I need right now. I want a business that serves others, provides for my family, and actually fits my life, not one that constantly pulls me away from it.

If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, trying to do all the things and wondering if there’s a simpler way, I hope this episode gives you some encouragement! I’m sharing what’s changing, why I’m making these shifts, and how I’m figuring out a way to build a business that actually works without sacrificing what matters most 🫶

What does it mean to view our work as worship? That's what this entire podcast is all about, but in today's episode we're going to dive into the heart of what it really means. We'll start by defining what we mean by "work", we'll take a look at what the Bible has to say about work (hint: it's a LOT!), and then we'll talk about some ways that we as Christians are called to work differently, both in our homes and in our businesses.

Trailer | Welcome to the Work + Worship Podcast

Tue, 21 Feb 2023 15:00:00 -0500

Welcome to the Work + Worship Podcast - a place for Christian Entrepreneurs to explore conversations on faith and work and discover how to embrace our work as a form of worship.

Join your host, Jordan Jones, for a short trailer on what this podcast is all about and what you can expect from tuning in!

Every week on the podcast, we’ll be diving deep into discussions and honest conversations with other Christians entrepreneurs + homemakers around what it means to honor + glorify God in all we do - not just work in the traditional sense.

My hope for this podcast is that you walk away inspired + empowered to run the race God has for you. That you learn to listen to God’s voice and what He’s calling you to do, and that you’d walk obediently and abundantly in your relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

It is my prayer that this podcast will bring clarity to your purpose and help you understand how to honor God with your work and your life. Thanks for tuning in!
