This week's conversation is with my dear friend Karin Holder. Karin is a woman of faith, a daughter, wife, mother, and friend to many.  On this episode Karin shares why the first 3-5 years of starting your business is “off balance”.   She gives us her tips for managing our finances and starting a savings habit and talks about making intentional choices for our faith, our family and our finances.  Karin says, "When we are building a business, we must make intentional choices - we don't have time to waste!". 

  This is our first Simply Blessed Bible Study. I didn’t know how I was going to introduce devotionals into the podcast, but have known from the beginning that it’s one of the things that God had for this. It’s also something that is taking me FAR from my comfort zone!! But I know that in anything, we have to get out of our comfort zone to grow.  I'm doing a bible study on the idols of our hearts and wanted to share it with you this week. You can find the full sermon series by Pastor Brad Bigney here: https://www.graceky.org/sermons/series/gospel-treason/

This week, Lori takes you through her steps to Planning For Profit.

Today's conversation is with Julie Staley. She is a Charlotte, North Carolina based wedding photographer. Julie married her college sweetheart 21 years ago and has two beautiful teenage daughters. Her journey has taken her from the corporate world to stay at home mom and, shortly after that, her photography hobby turned into a commercial, world-wide wedding company, grossing in the multiple six figures each year. Julie is now reinventing again and focusing on her background and experience in nutrition and fitness. Julie and I have known each other for about five years through the photography industry, and I've got to tell you guys, I first officially met Julie on a bus that one of our mutual vendors in the industry had rented to take us from a convention over to a party and this girl was the life of the party. She danced up and down the aisles of the bus and she was so good you guys, and that's my very first memory of her. We had some great conversation that night, too. Through all of that, through the industry, I've known her and I've been watching her in this transition, so I'm super excited to chat with her about what she's learned through growing her business while keeping faith and family first.

Today’s conversation is with the beautiful Jamie Cross who is the CEO and founder of MIG soap. When I say beautiful, yes, she is an outward beauty, but she has got an inner light that shines so bright, you can feel it. She dropped so many gems throughout our conversation, I just love her.

In this episode I get to chat with Jenny Stemmerman. Jenny is in her own words “a recovering workaholic” who learned the hard way what it takes to live a balanced, fulfilling life full of purpose, love and faith.  Jenny started “Your Life Rocks” podcast, membership site and a brand new app. She’s also got a couple of interesting businesses with her husband that she’ll tell us about. Jenny and I talk about what I call “the dirty B” word.  I’m still not crazy about the Illusion of balance and trying to achieve that, but Jenny challenges me with Phillipians 4:13 that says “I can do all things through Christ.”
