205: Pt. 2 Rest in Being the Light | Natalie Lavelock on Spirit-Centered Business™

Natalie and I continue the dive into some pretty transformative topics in this episode.  We’ve talked about the power of pausing in God’s presence—those “Selah” moments that give us a chance to breathe, reflect, and really connect with what matters most.

This isn’t just about speaking; it’s about leading with faith and letting divine guidance steer the ship. #FaithDrivenLeadershipCompassion Over Condemnation: When people put up walls, it’s often because of past hurts. Natalie emphasizes the importance of approaching these situations with compassion rather than judgment, opening doors for deeper connections. #EmpathyInLeadershipBe the Lighthouse: Be willing to share your message, even in places where it might not be well-received. It’s about shining your light in the darkest corners and standing firm in your truth. #CourageousLeadershipEmbrace Secular Stages: Natalie isn’t afraid to bring her message to non-Christian audiences. It’s not about staying in your comfort zone; it’s about taking your mission where it’s needed most, even if it’s outside familiar territory. #BoldMovesBe a Beacon: The moment Natalie heard someone speak about a God-given mission in a secular room, it was a game-changer. It reminded her—and us—that sometimes, you’re the light in the room for someone praying for exactly what you have to offer. #PurposefulLeadershipRecovering Perfectionist Club: Letting go of perfectionism is a game-changer. Perfectionism might fuel your drive, but it can also burn you out. #ProgressNotPerfectionThe Reluctant Rester: Natalie coined the term, and it’s a keeper!

Give yourself permission to recharge—you'll come back stronger! #RestToRechargeMind the Gap: Natalie brings wisdom with a fresh twist on gap analysis—sometimes those gaps in life or business are there for a reason. Embrace the space, and let others fill the gaps where you’re not meant to. Negative space is just as important as the rest! #LifeintheMarginDon't Be a Cookie-Cutter Coach: There's no one-size-fits-all approach in coaching.
