12|The Hard Truth About Why You Feel Unfulfilled: Your Corporate Job Is Hiding Your Calling

Sis, if you're spending 40-plus hours a week using maybe 20% of who God created you to be, this episode is your wake-up call.

After 22 years in corporate, I learned the hard truth: every promotion was just another shovel of dirt on my God-given gifts. And if you're a professional woman over 40 feeling like there's got to be more than quarterly projections and stakeholder reports, you're absolutely right.

Today I'm sharing why that Roman philosopher Seneca was spot-on about how we waste our lives, how corporate America turned you into a professional gift-hider without you even knowing it, and the stewardship conversation every Christian woman needs to hear.

Because honey, the women who need your specific wisdom, your hard-earned insights, and your battle-tested faith? They can't wait for you to feel "ready."

What We're Covering Today

We're diving deep into why that nagging feeling of unfulfillment isn't just Monday blues - it's your soul telling you something important. I'm breaking down how corporate culture systematically buries the very gifts God gave you to use for His kingdom.

We'll talk about the stewardship aspect that most people don't want to address, and why staying comfortable in a job that uses only a fraction of your abilities might actually be disobedience disguised as responsibility.

About Me

Corporate may have given you a title, but God gave you a calling. I show Christian women over 40 how to package their skills into Kingdom work and get paid for it.

I learned this lesson watching my beautiful, intelligent mom — a woman who worked hard her whole life but never truly bet on herself. She taught me something powerful: if I don't bet on myself, who will?

Now I help women who are scared to take that leap stop tying their worth to a job and finally step into their God-given ministry.

Let's Talk

I want to hear from you. What's the one corporate skill you've been most afraid to turn into a coaching offer? Send me a message on LinkedIn - I guarantee someone else needs to hear they're not alone in that fear.

And if this episode hit home for you, share it with another woman who needs to hear this message. We're building a movement of women who refuse to keep their gifts buried.
