Most women cringe when they hear the word sales. It feels slimy, pushy, and completely out of alignment with who we are. But what if sales wasn’t about pressure at all—what if it was simply about conversations, connection, and service?
In this episode of Her Faith at Work, I sit down with Stefani Pady, founder of Women, Worship and Work and GLS Coaching and Consulting. After two decades in corporate America and a life-changing season of reading the Bible cover-to-cover, Stefani walked away from the burnout cycle to help women anchor their worth in God’s truth and lead with confidence.
We unpack how to rethink sales (without the smarm), why Jesus was the ultimate “salesman,” and practical ways to ask better questions, influence with integrity, and find the right clients without losing yourself in the hustle. Whether you love sales, hate sales, or avoid it at all costs—this conversation will shift how you show up in business and ministry.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode
- The moment Stefani realized her worth didn’t come from quotas, bosses, or performance
- How reading the Bible cover-to-cover reshaped her life and work

- Why open-ended questions are the secret to better conversations (and better business)

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
