What does it mean to work hard AND live soft? In this episode, Messaging Expert & Business Strategist Maya Elious joins us to talk about building a life rooted in purpose, not pressure.

Maya shares her journey from the first entrepreneurial project of designing MySpace pages in college, to leading successful coaching programs for women of faith and ambition. Together, they unpack what it looks like to balance hustle with healing, and how discernment, discipline, and a touch of serendipity, all play a role in creating a softer life.


In this episode we discussed: 

  • Building purpose-driven businesses through faith and discernment.
  • How to create systems that support peace.
  • Shifting the mindset from scarcity to abundance.
  • Finding strength and community in friendships and asking for help without guilt.
