Do you have a career you’ve worked hard to build? Maybe you’ve stepped out and started a business? But deep down, you still wonder if you’re truly walking in your God-given calling…

In this episode of But First, She Failed, Paola unpacks the difference between building a career, running a business, and living out your true calling. Because here’s the truth: careers and businesses are good, but they will never fully satisfy if they’re not aligned with the purpose God uniquely designed for you.

  • You’ll discover:
    ✨ Why careers bring growth but can leave you restless if they’re your only focus.
    ✨ The freedom and risk that come with owning a business—and why success alone can feel empty.
    ✨ How walking in your God-given calling brings lasting fulfillment, direction, and peace, no matter what season of life or work you’re in.

If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Am I meant for more?” or wondered if you’re truly living the life God called you to, this episode will challenge and inspire you. Walking in your calling isn’t just important—it’s essential. It’s the key to unlocking your greatest impact, deepest joy, and the kind of success that actually matters.
