Have you ever invested in a coach or program, hoping it would finally grow your business, only to feel more misaligned than ever?

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what over $30K in coaching has taught me about alignment, strategy, and spiritual growth. We’re diving into the hard truths behind misaligned mentorship, the hidden dangers of hustle culture in coaching, and how to know if the support you’re seeking is truly rooted in God’s best for your life.

This is Part 1 of a two-part series on choosing coaches who grow you, not just your bottom line. Whether you’ve been burned by past investments or you’re discerning your next step, this episode will help you pause, reflect, and get back in alignment.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why not every good strategy is God’s strategy

• What happens when you chase results over personal growth

• The danger of hiring coaches who aren’t spiritually aligned

• 3 problems with strategy-only coaching programs

• The importance of growing as a person before you grow your business

• How to filter coaching decisions through a biblical lens
