Doing Business Gently - Online Business, Work From Rest, Midlife Christian Women, Aligned Business

Doing Business Gently is a gentle business podcast for midlife Christian women entrepreneurs (often 50+) who are weary of toxic business hustle.

It’s an invitation to build an aligned, sustainable business rooted in clarity, rest, and purpose, AND doing this without constant hustle as the norm.

This podcast is for you if you’ve built a solid service-based business but feel a quiet nudge toward something deeper and more aligned. You’re not afraid of work, you’re simply done with exhaustion being the default. You want your business to reflect your faith, values, and the season of life you’re in now.

Each episode offers gentle but grounded coaching for introverted women who want to:

  • Rebuild self-trust and confidence in their decisions
  • Gain spiritual and business clarity without chasing every new strategy
  • Lead from identity and values instead of pressure and comparison
  • Create sustainable growth that supports their health, family, and peace

This isn’t about doing less for the sake of doing less.
It’s about doing what’s aligned, and letting rest, discernment, and wisdom guide your next steps.

If you’re ready to stop forcing growth and start building a business that truly fits your life and calling, you’re in the right place.

Take a breath, press play, and let’s learn how to do business gently.
