When Hustle Isn’t the Answer: Healing Your Heart to Grow Your Business

Heart Work > Hard Work: What I’ve Been Learning Lately… 💖

Hey Beautiful Mama,

You ever have those seasons where you’re just… trying to do all the things?

Running your business. Loving your babies. Keeping the house (sort of) together. Maybe squeezing in a five-minute face mask and calling it “self-care.”

Yep, same. 👋🏼

But recently, I had a conversation on The Rainmaker Family Show that completely shifted my perspective—like one of those holy interruption moments you don’t even know you need.

I sat down with the incredible Elise Tarango, and y’all… we went deep.

Let’s Talk Heart Healing 💗

Okay, full honesty here—I used to think “heart healing” sounded like something I didn’t have time for.

Like… I’m building a business, raising humans, and trying to remember where I left my coffee (again). 😅

But what Elise shared with me lit up something inside me that I haven’t stopped thinking about:

👉🏼 Sometimes the thing that’s “blocking” our business growth has nothing to do with strategy… and everything to do with what’s going on inside our hearts.

Whew. Let that one land.

The Invisible Walls We Don’t Talk About

Ever feel like you hit a ceiling in your business or life, but you can’t quite put your finger on why?

Maybe you’ve been…

• Hesitating to raise your prices (even though you know you’re worth more)
• Feeling low-key guilt every time you invest in your business
• Worrying that maybe you just weren’t cut out for this after all
  

Girl, same. 💬
But here’s what I’ve learned:

🌸 Those things aren’t flaws. They’re invitations.

They’re not signs to quit—they’re signs it’s time to heal.

A New Kind of To-Do List (One That Feeds Your Soul)

Here’s what I’ve been trying lately—maybe it’ll bless you too:

💫 Create Sacred Space
Even just 10–15 minutes. No phone. No pressure. Just quiet. Just you and God.

💫 Do Heart Check-Ins
Before you say yes or no, before you post or pivot, pause and ask:
“Is this decision coming from fear… or from faith?”

💫 Rewrite One Story
Take a lie you’ve been believing (maybe about motherhood, your business, or your worth) and flip it.
What if the opposite were true?

💫 Practice Soul-Care, Not Just Self-Care
Journal. Worship. Cry. Celebrate. Talk to God about the little things, not just the big things.

💫 Replace the “What Ifs”
Instead of “What if I fail?” try “What if this turns out better than I ever imagined?”

Mama, I know how much is on your plate.
I also know your heart is the most powerful part of you. 💛

Your business isn’t separate from your soul.
Your motherhood isn’t separate from your mission.
You don’t need to compartmentalize your calling.

If you’ve been feeling stuck lately, maybe the next move isn’t another strategy or hustle…
Maybe it’s just coming back to the One who sees you, loves you, and wants to do life with you.

Let’s be women who build our businesses from a place of wholeness, not hustle.

And if you need a little reminder today:

🌷You’re doing better than you think.
🌷God is not disappointed in you.
🌷Your healing is holy work.

With love and so much grace,

Chelsey
