Do you ever find yourself mixed up in the striving for more success? Trying desperately to climb that ladder in the name of bigger and better? Does our culture’s ‘hustle culture’ feel like it’s trapping you whether you really want it to or not?

Erin shares her 4 Keys to Overcome Hustle, how she overcame it herself, and shares some real practical tips for how you, too, have a hope for changing how you might currently be doing business. She’s so passionate for women to know the truth of their identities as daughters of Christ, and how that plays into their roles as Christian women business owners.
