Redefining Hustle: Pursuing Success as a Christian Woman
Hey, my fellow high-achieving sister in Christ! Ever wonder if it’s possible to be ambitious and let God lead at the same time? Does “hustle” fuel your adrenaline, but you want to ditch the overachievement and pursue success with clarity, serenity and fulfillment? If your outward success doesn’t match your inner unrest and unfulfillment, this podcast is for you! Welcome to Redefining Hustle: Pursuing Success as a Christian Woman! I’m Erin Harrigan, a Christian wife, empty nest mom, entrepreneur and recovering overachiever, who felt those same things. When I prayed for a better way to work, God responded with “let me drive.” Then He led me to help women like you through my speaking, coaching and writing. My mission is teaching you that success doesn’t require buying into the world’s frantic definition of hustle or into the so-called “anti-hustle” movement! Instead, you can meet me in the middle right here, to redefine hustle as you pursue success with God as your CEO! Each wee

Hard work is something to be proud of, right? But here's the thing: great work ethic doesn't mean you have to work constantly...and when you choose not to work constantly, you are not lazy!
Let's send that lie of the enemy back to the pit of hell where it came from! Instead, let's ask the hard question: why are we married to hard work? Could it be we're seeking approval for our work ethic?
Recently God showed me the need for ap...

Have you ever completely shut down, gone "off the grid" and deleted social media from your phone? I did this while on retreat in Costa Rica, and I learned three big lessons I'm sure my fellow high-achievers will appreciate!
1. Shutting down is a challenge, and a lesson in overachievement
2. Silence is golden - and it amplifies the Lord’s voice
3. I’m over reaching for my phone - overreaching edges God out; margin

Are you a high-achieving, high-earning Christian woman in business or the boardroom who secretly struggles with scarcity when it comes to money?
Scarcity is often kept as a secret because admitting it seems like admitting defeat. The triumph, however, is embracing stewardship - of time, talent and treasure - to break free from scarcity thinking!
Because the truth is: there is no scarcity in God's Kingdom, and what He has given...

Have you ever been told that you have a type A personality as an ambitious woman?
Looking back on your life, it probably doesn't surprise you because you've been an achiever (or maybe even a chronic overachiever like me) your whole life. You probably like to be in control, you like things to be in their place, you're a go-getter, etc. (can I get an AMEN?)

Once upon a time, I defined myself - anchored my identity - in my achievements, roles, titles, bank account, etc.
When I lost my high level job, my identity took a major hit.
When my inward fulfillment and contentment didn't match my outward success, my identity was "I'm not doing enough / what am I doing wrong?"
When your identity is anchored in anything that's subject to change, involves other people's opinions, or worldly def...

After a recent keynote speaking engagement, an attendee approached me with this question: "How do I remain content in the pruning and growth seasons of my business?"

Do you find yourself tying your worth to your pricing and how your clients "accept or reject" what you charge?
Do you struggle with communicating the value of your offers/services?
Or do you struggle with charging consistently?

Lately, I've been hearing the high-achieving Christian women I serve (and others) talk about extreme exhaustion and the perceived need to be "constantly on" in their businesses. I believe it's a multi-layered issue that can start to be addressed by understanding how God made us to work and the value of consistency over constantly.
Let's be honest, the world is LOUD in telling us how we have to be constantly available, constantly ...
