Navigating Inflection Points
What is an inflection point? In math, it’s the point where the curvature of a line changes from concave to convex.

We all know the entrepreneurial dream: start a business from scratch, pour into it and build it up, and then sell it to make room for our next big gorgeous goal. That was my dream, and when I first accomplished it, I expected to feel grateful. After all, I had just crushed my goals and watched them pay off!

Where to Find Rest in a Busy Season
So much of what we reach for in life is about experiencing fullness – a busy schedule, a well-stocked pantry, a hefty bank account. And while this fullness can feel good, sometimes it’s equally important to give yourself moments of emptiness, especially in your calendar.
