What happens when the business you built no longer aligns with the calling you feel? And how do you pivot without losing your clarity, your audience, or your faith?

In this deeply honest conversation, Jake Roehl shares what it looks like to walk away from a successful coaching business based on a word from Jesus Christ and step into a completely new season - missions work in South Africa. This isn’t theory. It’s a real-time transition filled with faith, uncertainty, health battles, and bold obedience.

We talk about:

1. How to Pivot the Right Way in Business (Go Toward, Not Away)

Jake breaks down a powerful reframe: don’t think of yourself as leaving something, think of yourself as going toward something. Every pivot creates confusion, but clarity comes when you anchor your decision first, in Christ, then in what you’re building next, not what you’re walking away from.

2. Evidence vs. Proof in Major Decisions

One of the most profound insights in this episode: there will always be evidence on both sides of a big decision. But evidence is not proof. The key isn’t collecting more data. It’s examining the belief driving your choice and ensuring it can carry you through the transition.

3. Obedience, Courage, and the Cost of a Bold Yes

From shutting down a thriving business to navigating multiple cancer surgeries while preparing to move overseas, Jake shares what it looks like to say “yes” to Jesus even when circumstances feel overwhelming. You’ll hear how resilience, prayer, and clarity of calling shape both business and life decisions.

If you’re in a season of transition, or feeling the tension between success and significance, this episode will challenge and steady you.

Some businesses grow by strategy alone. Others grow because the founder finally listens to the truth they’ve been avoiding.

In this deeply reflective conversation, Caryn Gillen, veteran life coach and business mentor, shares how alignment, not hustle, is the real driver of sustainable success. From discovering coaching before it was mainstream to making decisive business pivots 15 years in, Caryn walks us through what it looks like to build a business that actually fits who you are.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why misalignment feels like “something is wrong with you”, and how to spot it early

➡️ Caryn explains how chasing credentials, strategies, or “fixes” is often a sign you’re simply in the wrong role, model, or offer.

How powerful decision-making creates momentum (and why it feels scary)

➡️ She introduces her belief that “life happens at the speed of your decisions,” and why every yes requires killing off a version of yourself.

What it really takes to build a sustainable coaching business

➡️ From ethical sales conversations to realistic client loads, Caryn breaks down how to grow without burning out or betraying yourself.

This episode is an invitation to stop forcing what doesn’t fit and start building from the truth of your identity.
