   Ep. 52: Surrender Over Hustle: Faith, Motherhood & Building a Business with Rachel Nelson

   You were never meant to hustle your way into your calling — you were made to surrender into it. In this episode of Mommas Who LEAD, host Laura Caroffino sits down with coach, speaker, and author Rachel Nelson of Equipped Mommas for an honest, faith-filled conversation about raising the next generation and building a business — without losing yourself in the process. Rachel opens up about the season God stripped everything away, including a job loss from a false accusation, and how it moved her identity off her work and onto Christ. Together they unpack why "rhythm" beats "balance," how to tell when you've slipped from Spirit-led into hustle, and the lie of mom guilt that keeps so many women stuck. If you're a first-time mom or a work-from-home entrepreneur carrying overwhelm, guilt, or comparison, consider this your permission slip to breathe, surrender, and trust that God has called you to both motherhood and business — in His strength, not your own. In this episode: * Rachel's testimony and the job loss that rebuilt her faith * Why God is the ultimate provider — even when both she and her husband lost their jobs * "Rhythm, not balance" as a sustainable way to hold motherhood and business * How to recognize Spirit-led discipline versus hustle * Guarding time in the Word in a loud, unpredictable season * Finding godly community and learning to ask for help * The truth for the mom buried in guilt * What it really means to be "a Momma Who Leads" About the guest: Rachel Nelson is a Holy Spirit–filled momma, coach, speaker, and author who equips first-time stay-at-home moms and entrepreneurs to rise above overwhelm and walk in confidence and clarity. She helps women embrace their calling to both motherhood and business — rooted in God's strength, not their own — without sacrificing their identity or intimacy with Him. With bold truth, biblical wisdom, and unwavering conviction, Rachel challenges moms to stop shrinking back and start walking fully in who God created them to be. A former D3 athlete and journalism graduate, she brings grit, discipline, and deep faith — reminding every mom she was never meant to do this alone. 🌿 Don't miss Rachel's FREE live masterclass — the Raised on Truth Mastermind — Tuesday, June 16th at 7:30 PM CST on Zoom, with guest coach Ken Kleinberg, all about confidently knowing what you're feeding your baby.
