My amazing friend Kelly has a new book that comes out today called "Battle Ready: Train Your Mind to Conquer Challenges, Defeat Doubt, and Live Victoriously." We chatted the other day on a video we were doing about how perfectly her message and "Holy Hustle" go together. We could be competing against one another right now, trying to outdo one another in sales or marketing or promotion, but instead we're working together - and I love it so much. She is a natural encourager, connector, and champion of other women and it is an honor to have her words featured here today. *** For a long time I was anything, but...Battle Ready. I argued with my husband, then self-condemned myself for how ... View the Post
5 Simple Ways to Host a “Holy Hustle” Book Club
Don't you just love a good book club? Maybe you have an incredible group that meets in real life in your town, or - like me - you have to rely on online book clubs to chat with other readers. I think our local library tried to have a meeting to see if people in our town would be interested in a book club, and no one showed up. I think we all have that fear, right? It's the thought in the back of our head that no one will show up if we try to lead something. And if we do host a book club, and people do want to join us, it's intimidating to think about how it will all work. How do we know what to talk about? Should there be food? How often do we meet? Can I encourage you? Book clubs are ... View the Post
The Simple Way I Made My Book Launch NOT About Me
When I was thinking about what I wanted my book launch to look like, I didn't know the details, but I knew I wanted to: make it fun, include everyone who wanted to be a part of it, and make it as little able ME as possible. I'd watched friends and other authors release books and spend all day watching their Amazon ranking, or feeling stress about how much they were promoting the book, or wondering what to do the next day when everything felt like a bit of a letdown after all the excitement. My name might be on the cover of "Holy Hustle," and it might include some of my story, but it's never been about me. I think that's why I had so much fun writing it, and why the marketing felt ...

5 Reasons “Holy Hustle” Should be in Your Beach Bag This Summer
With only a few days left of school around here, our minds are already jumping ahead to our vacation plans. Whether you're like me and have an on-going packing list in a Google document somewhere to make sure you don't forget something, or you're like my husband who just throws things in a bag the morning we leave and hopes for the best, a book is the perfect addition to your road trip, beach bag, or carry on. Now, I've been known to take a library book with me to the beach (gasp! the horror! I know!), and I usually make sure to pack plenty of things to entertain my daughter, but this year I think I have a solution to help YOU out. It might not initially seem like a non-fiction book about ... View the Post
Daily Obedience
Is anyone else struggling to get through this current season of end-of-school, almost summer but not quite, craziness? I feel like I need to schedule a two-week recovery period to catch up on all the sleep I'm missing (mostly because I'm SO EXCITED about "Holy Hustle" and all God is doing with it and I'm like a little kid on Christmas morning!). At the beginning of the school year Madi would come home to cute little snacks prepared and ready for her at the kitchen table. Now she comes home, plops herself in front of Garfield, and eats a Popsicle. Mornings were a sweet time where we would sit at the table and read a Bible story while we listened to music and she ate her breakfast. Now I'm ... View the Post
When Our Dreams Detour
In week two of the "Work Hard, Rest Well" Bible study we dig deep into the story of Joseph and use his life as an example when our own dreams detour. Joseph could have been angry and bitter. He could have passed blame and given up. Instead, wherever he was, in whatever circumstances he found himself in, he continued to use the gifts God had given him. When our small group talked about this week of study I LOVED how each woman found herself connecting with a different character in the story. As you read, put yourself in the shoes of Joseph, his brothers, his dad. Think about your own dreams and goals, and what would happen if you truly believed that nothing - absolutely nothing - could ... View the Post
