In my last post, we talked about spirituality — not religion, but the deeper connection to something larger than ourselves, the source of meaning and purpose in our lives. We explored why spiritual health is just as important as physical and mental health, and how neglecting it often leaves us feeling burned out, unmotivated, or disconnected.
Today, I want to continue that conversation by sharing how my own spiritual journey has shaped a huge shift in my business.
If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ve probably noticed my business looks very different than it did just a few months ago. The change has been drastic — and honestly, a little surprising even to me.
So, why the shift?
Simply put: because my passions have changed.
A Journey Through Many Phases
Every phase of my business has meant something to me. I’ve loved each step, even when my passion wasn’t always steady or consistent. But now, for the first time, I feel like I’m putting back into the world what the world has given me.
This new direction isn’t just about strategy or creativity. It’s about transformation — about weaving together everything I’ve learned and the unique perspective my life has given me.
Losses, heartbreak, betrayal, seasons of depression — all of it has been reshaped into something new: hope and life. And it all began with my spirituality.
Relearning What Spirituality Means
For much of my life, I thought being a Christian meant following endless rules and living up to the church’s definition of “good.” I absorbed messages that left me with more shame than freedom.
Over time, that shame created walls between me and God. I felt numb, disengaged, and distant from the One I was told should be at the center of my life. I thought maybe the distance meant God was absent.
But here’s what I eventually realized: when God feels distant, it’s usually our resistance and walls that stand in the way.
For me, that resistance came from years of internalized shame and from trying to live up to a version of faith that didn’t fit who I was created to be.
Stepping away from the church for a season helped me see that my relationship with God could look different than my family’s — and that was okay. It takes time and space to realize you are your own person, and your faith can be uniquely yours.
Experiencing God in New Ways
One of the greatest gifts has been seeing how others encounter God in their own ways.
A friend once shared that in the midst of grief, she looked to the sky. God whispered to her: “Do you know what forms the clouds and weather patterns?” When she answered no, He reminded her: “But I do. If I know how to form the clouds, don’t I also know how to care for you?”
Another friend confessed that he couldn’t hear God at all during one of the biggest decisions of his life. Looking back, I wish I could remind him: God works within us, equipping us to remain in His design even when His voice feels silent.
I don’t pretend to understand why God feels easier to hear for some and not for others. But I do believe our past experiences, our relationships, even our wounds can shape how open we are to noticing Him. Hearing God, from Dallas Willard, is a great resource if you find yourself struggling with this subject. check out my Goodreads notes here
God in the Small Things
Something else I’ve learned: God delights in being involved in the small, ordinary moments.
Think about Jesus’ first recorded miracle. It wasn’t raising the dead, calming a storm, or healing the blind. It was turning water into wine at a wedding. And not just any wine — the good wine.
Only a handful of people even saw it happen. It wasn’t flashy, it wasn’t public. It was simply an act of love that spared a couple from shame and blessed their community with joy.
If God cares enough to show up at a wedding with wine, then He cares enough to show up in our everyday lives too — in coffee dates with friends, in cooking dinner, in making your bed.
That’s why I believe practicing awareness of God in the small moments is so important. Just like any skill, it’s easier to recognize Him in the big, life-changing moments when we’ve already learned to notice Him in the quiet, daily ones.
How This Shapes My Business
So what does all of this have to do with my business? Everything.
My work now flows out of this understanding: that life is spiritual, that transformation is possible, and that hope is always available — even when all we feel is loss.
What I create and share now isn’t just about business strategy or creative exercises. It’s about offering the same grace, healing, and perspective I’ve received.
This shift has brought alignment. My business isn’t just something I do anymore. It’s an extension of who I am becoming.
Journaling Prompts
- Where in your life have you felt distant from God, and what walls of resistance might be shaping that distance?
- When have you noticed God in the “small things” — a conversation, a moment in nature, a daily rhythm?
- How might your passions or work look different if they flowed out of your spiritual transformation?
- What practices could help you notice God’s presence in ordinary moments?
This is why my business has changed so drastically: because I have changed. My passions have shifted, my spirituality has deepened, and my work is now rooted in something far bigger than me.
And honestly? For the first time, it feels like I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be.
