When Your Career No Longer Feels Like Your Calling: Realignment, Reinvention & Meaningful Work with Rachel Spekman
She Leads Boldly: Returning to God’s Pace for Leadership, Motherhood & Marriage
Manage episode 522440057 series 3661073
What if the career you worked so hard to build… no longer fits who God is shaping you to become?
For so many high-achieving Christian wives and moms, that question hits deeper than we want to admit. You’re leading at work, leading at home, showing up for everyone, but secretly wondering, “Why does my success feel so heavy?”
In this episode of She Leads Boldly, I sit down with reinvention coach and “Meaningful Work” expert Rachel Spekman — who has spent over 15 years in marketing, 10 years advising founders, and 5 years as a therapist helping hundreds rediscover who they truly are and what they’re uniquely made to bring into the world.
Together, we unpack the moment every ambitious woman reaches:
that quiet inner tug that says, “Something needs to shift.”
Rachel and I explore:
- Why your identity in Christ must lead before your calling, career, or gifts
- The emotional toll of carrying the mental load of marriage, motherhood, and leadership
- How to recognize when you’re operating from obligation instead of alignment
- Why the “3 Cs” (Contribution, Challenge, and Community) determine career fulfillment
- The unseen courage it takes to reinvent yourself while raising a family
- How children’s stories like “What Do You Do With an Idea?” reveal God’s process for growth, purpose, and obedience
- Why meaningful work isn’t about achieving more, but becoming who God designed you to be
We also dive into Rachel’s practical process for helping women step into work that feels purposeful instead of pressured, and how Jewish and Christian traditions both point to the truth that each person carries a God-given spark meant to bless the world.
And sis… we go deep.
I share parts of my own journey. Those seasons when I looked successful on the outside but was spiritually exhausted on the inside, juggling leadership, marriage, and motherhood at a pace God never asked me to run.
If you’ve been craving clarity…
If you’ve been asking God for direction…
If you’ve been afraid to slow down long enough to hear Him…
This episode is your reminder: You don’t have to hold all of this alone.
