There's a pattern in digital marketing that Christian women often won't spend money on themselves. They'll readily invest in their children, spouses, and charitable causes, but hesitate when it comes to their own development. Why? In this episode, let's tackle three common myths that hold Christian women back from investing in themselves, and discover what the Bible actually says about this strange phenomenon.

Highlights:

• Is investing in yourself self-centered?
• Why "women should sacrifice" is a lie
• One "rule" the modern church needs to toss out the window
• The difference between selfish ambition versus Kingdom ambition
• Three specific ways to start investing in yourself today
• Key takeaway: "When you grow, your impact grows. When you thrive, you have more to give. When you step into the fullness of who God created you to be, you honor the Creator who designed you with purpose."

As entrepreneurs and content creators, we spend a lot of time talking about things like marketing, positioning, growing an audience, and making sales. And all of that matters! But there's a foundational element that comes before any of that—and it has to do with who you are, not just what you're selling.

Highlights:

• People don't just buy a product or service; they buy from the person behind it. Your authenticity and personality matter just as much as your offers.
• It's okay to repel people who aren't a good fit for your brand. By being your true self, you'll attract the customers who are perfectly aligned with you.
• Avoid a scarcity mindset! There are plenty of customers out there for everyone. Focus on serving your ideal customers, not trying to be everything to everyone.
• Share your story, not just promotions. Give people a glimpse into your life beyond just business. This helps them connect with you on a deeper level.
