Ever feel like you're physically in the room but mentally somewhere else entirely? Like you're going through the motions of your day while your mind races ahead to tomorrow's to-do list or replays yesterday's failures? Same.

In this episode of the LeadHerShip Podcast, I uncover the #1 barrier that keeps ambitious Christian women from being fully present...and it's probably not what you think!

I'm sharing the biblical truth that changed everything for me, plus practical strategies to help you break free from the stress cycle and start showing up fully—mind, body, and spirit—to the people and priorities God has entrusted to you.

This isn't about hustling harder OR slowing down! It's about learning to be faithfully present in a way that honors both your God-given vision and your today. Whether you're building a business, homeschooling your kids, or just trying to keep everyone fed and loved, you need to hear this.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• The real definition of faithful presence – It's not just being physically there; it's showing up mentally, emotionally, and spiritually engaged in the moment God has given you
• Why stress is the #1 presence killer – And how most of your stress isn't even about what's happening now, but what you're afraid might happen later
• The dangerous trap of vision without trust – How your God-given vision can become a source of pressure instead of inspiration when you forget who's actually in control
• The identity issue behind your stress – Why tying your worth to your outcomes keeps you in constant striving mode (and what to do about it)
• How God works through means – The biblical theology that will completely shift how you view your daily habits, systems, and routines
• The Proverbs 31 woman's secret to peace – She wasn't panicking her way to productivity; she worked her systems faithfully with her eyes fixed on the Lord
• Practical ways to stay present – Simple, do-able habits
• Reflection questions – Powerful prompts to help you identify where pressure is stealing your presence in your home, business, and spiritual life

Practical Application:

• How to balance having a strong vision for your future while staying faithfully present in your today
• Why your habits and systems aren't unspiritual—they're actually deeply spiritual when rooted in obedience
• How to know when you're truly present (hint: you'll actually feel your emotions instead of numbing them)
