Life and business are full of shifts: kids grow, routines change, clients pivot, and seasons transition. In this heartfelt post, I share how God is teaching me to embrace change without fear by keeping Him at the center, strengthening my marriage, investing in my kids, and stewarding my business with grace. If you’re navigating a season of transition, this encouragement will remind you that while seasons change, our foundation in Christ never does.

Balancing homeschooling and entrepreneurship has reshaped the way I view both motherhood and business. As a Christian Virtual Assistant and faith-driven CEO, I’ve learned that slowing down to homeschool my kindergartner doesn’t mean stepping away from success; it means aligning my business with God’s priorities. Homeschooling three days a week while running a business has stretched me in patience, flexibility, and trust, but it’s also given me the freedom to serve my clients well while being present with my family. This season reminds me that building a business with faith at the center isn’t about hustle; it’s about stewarding my time, my children, and my calling with intentionality.

If we’re being honest, most of us want the full plan before we start. We want God to hand us the blueprint, the budget, and the exact date of completion. But faith doesn’t work that way.

When Abraham was called to leave his home in Genesis 12:1, God didn’t give him the full itinerary. He simply said, “Go… to the land I will show you.” Abraham’s obedience wasn’t based on knowing every detail—it was based on knowing the One who called him.

If God has called you to start that business, launch that ministry, write that book, or change that career path—that’s enough.

Friend, the only permission you truly need is His.

And when you finally move forward, you’ll find that everything—yes, even the challenges—comes with an extra measure of grace.

I knew I had to choose faith over fear. In July 2022, I walked out of the classroom for the last time and stepped into the unknown.

I didn’t have everything figured out. I didn’t have all the money saved. I didn’t even know exactly how my new business—what would become Crown of Glory Solutions—would take shape.

After 14 years in the classroom, Rachel Roach left teaching to pursue faith-driven entrepreneurship. In this honest reflection, she shares how burnout shaped her calling to offer executive virtual assistance and why executive assistance isn’t just about productivity—it’s about protecting what matters most.
