Show Notes
If you've been building your business on your own strength, this episode will show you exactly what it looks like to hand it back to the One who actually owns it. Shay opens a three-part series on what it practically means to partner with God in business — not theoretically, but on a Tuesday morning when the pressure is real. She walks through the biblical truth that God already owns your business, your skills, and every resource you need, and introduces two countercultural strategies: surrender and demotion. You'll also hear Katy's story of facing $40–50K in unexpected tariff costs and choosing peace over panic — because she knew whose problem it really was. If this hit home, share it with the woman in your life who's been carrying too much for too long.
