If you’ve ever found yourself second-guessing your big ideas, shying away from the spotlight, or wondering if you’re really meant to “go big” as a spiritual entrepreneur, you’re not alone.

I’ve walked that same uncertain path, grateful for every client and opportunity, but sometimes hesitant to fully step forward and share my message.

In Part 1 of this two-part podcast series, we'll explore what it really means to “play small” as a faith-led entrepreneur.

I invite you to reflect on how your beliefs, fears, and unspoken desires might be limiting your impact.

If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re sharing your message with the conviction and reach it deserves, this episode is for you.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

• What “playing small” actually means (hint: it’s not about your revenue)
• How spiritual beliefs and upbringing can create invisible limits for spiritual entrepreneurs
• The emotional cost of holding back your voice and visibility as an online entrepreneur
• Why reframing desire helps entrepreneurs step into purpose without guilt
• Simple reflection questions to help you spot where you’re minimizing your message

When I first started, I wanted to be all things to all people. But I quickly learned that speaking to everyone meant speaking to no one. Sound familiar?

In this episode, I share some target-audience insights from an unexpected place: the four Gospels in the Bible.

Whether you’re religious or not, stick with me.

The Gospels, while part of a global message, were written to a specific audience with language, stories, and details that resonated uniquely with that group.

It’s a powerful metaphor for how we should approach our messaging as business owners.

Clarity creates connection and traction.

So if you’ve ever said, "But my message is for everyone," this episode is for you.

What You’ll Discover in This Podcast Episode

• Why trying to reach everyone can quietly stall your business growth.
  • It sounds generous, but it may be the very thing keeping you stuck and unseen.
• A surprising metaphor from the four Gospels that simplifies audience clarity
  • One target audience. You'll never look at your marketing the same way again.
• How to shift from “helping everyone” to making a real impact with one audience
  • It’s not about excluding—it’s about connecting in a way that finally gets traction.
• A simple shift that makes choosing a target audience feel freeing, not limiting
  • This reframe will help you let go of the guilt and own your lane with confidence.
• How to build momentum without changing your message, just your focus
  • You don’t need to start over. You just need to aim with intention.

Years ago, I believed that posting daily on social media and cranking out blogs meant I was executing a strategy.

Most of us have been there faithfully ticking all the boxes: Instagram posts, networking events, blog posts, and waiting for results that never seem to arrive.

It's frustrating, especially when you're working solo. I realized I was chasing tactics without a clear strategy, leading the way."

In this episode of Amplify Your Authority, I explain the critical difference between strategy and tactics.

You'll know how to self-audit your marketing, avoid common mistakes, and align your efforts so that every action supports your long-term vision.

Here's What You'll Discover in This Podcast Episode!

• The difference between strategy and tactics—and why mistaking the two can stall your progress.
• Nine strategy examples every business should consider (not just more social posts!).
• Common mistakes business owners make with tactics (and how to avoid spinning your wheels).
• Understanding how to connect your tactics to your big picture goals so every action counts.
• How AI can become your tactical sidekick without letting it drive your strategy.
