If you've ever felt like your practice is stretching you, shaping you, or even changing you—this episode is going to speak straight to your heart.
Today, I'm sitting down with the incredible Shelby Rhea Miller, LPCC, founder of Sycamore Counseling Services, to talk about what really happens when God uses your business to grow you.
Shelby's story is full of courage, risk-taking, surrender, and the kind of spiritual formation that only comes from stepping into something bigger than yourself. She's built a thriving practice from the ground up, but even more importantly—her practice has been building her.
In this conversation, we unpack what it means to follow the Holy Spirit in business decisions, how to find joy even when the risk feels huge, and how God shows up in the unexpected twists and disappointments along the way. If you're a practice owner wondering where God is leading you—or why your growth feels stretching—this episode will encourage you to lean in with faith and boldness.
Let's dive into "Creating a Practice That Changes You" with my friend Shelby Rhea. You're going to love this one.
