She's Equipt with Jennifer Allwood | The Christian Business Coach for Women

Fear is a feeling given to us by God to help keep us safe in certain situations. Fear is NOT an excuse to not do the thing that we know darn good and well we should be doing. Do a Facebook live, sign up for a 5K, quit the job, write the email, make the ask! You don't need to get past your fear. Instead, process the feeling and then move on and do the thing! Listen as I talk about not letting fear...

Friends, think of all the things we teach our kids—sports, school subjects, driving, dancing, acting, and on and on. Often times we pay good money for others to teach our kids all kinds of skills. Today I want to make sure we are teaching the next generation how to have courage and be obedient and the best way to do it to lead by example! Our children and generations to come will be transformed if...

There are so many numbers being shared all over the internet by entrepreneurs. Today I want to talk about the truth behind a lot of the numbers you hear and what numbers really matter. People talk about how many followers they have or how much they just made on a launch. But they don't tell you the truth like the fact that maybe they have horrible reach and engagement or that their expenses where...

If you are waiting for the perfect time, the perfect situation, the perfect anything, it is never going to happen! I love you enough to tell you this. What you are really doing waiting because you are scared. And the thing you are holding on to instead putting out into the world is likely something that someone else needs. And by you holding on to it you are preventing them from being able to move...

Fostering, adopting, or taking in a kid in need is hard and rewarding and a blessing and sanctifying and so much more. It brings so many emotions and situations that you have to learn to navigate. Rebekah Lyons and Edie Wadsworth are two amazing women who have been navigating life with a bonus kid and are rocking it! The 3 of us have all added a young child to our families in the last year and tal...

  Would you love a big dose of momentum in your business? Are you ready for where that momentum could take you? Momentum is the combination of speed and force and can be responsible for big things happening. However, you can't buy it or orchestrate it. You, instead, must pray and prepare for it! Then when it comes you have to be ready to go where it takes you. Listen in as I talk more about moment...

Sweet Ari has been with us for one year! What started out as a sleepover has turned into a life-changing event for our whole family. On this week's podcast, Mr. Magic and I sat down to share how we have navigated taking in a child that comes from hard places. We talk about what we have learned, what we wish we knew, and what the future holds. Please share this episode with anyone who has fostered...

There is a lot of talk these days about "the universe" and a "higher power." This trend is a way for some entrepreneurs to appeal to more people. But listen, friends, we are not called to be all things to all people. Instead, be 100% honest about who you are and what you believe. Don't afraid or ashamed and don't water it down. Listen in as we discuss this more! I also have a challenge for you thi...

Social media has made growing a business online easier than ever before. But if you want social media to serve you well, you have to have a certain level of vulnerability in your posts and on your feed. I know it is scary. I know some of you hide behind your products and business because you are fearful of what will happen when you put yourself out there. Spoiler alert—you will get negative feedba...

Last week something happened…I was triggered by a Facebook comment. AND I took the bait and replied! Guys, I know better, but this is a lesson I still sometimes have to revisit and I bet some of you do too. When we feel attacked and embarrassed we can be triggered to react. Instead, we should see areas where we may need to grow and let God handle the rest.

Have you ever thought about being an author? Have you ever wondered what it takes or what process to follow? Today, I am talking with my friend, Brian Dixon, about the 6 steps to take to go from being a writer to an author. He not only has a fascinating story but also amazing advice on everything from how to best use your time to mending broken relationships. We are also talking about his new book...

Recently I was very convicted about something I have said many times to my kids. I have often asked them to "be easy." But the Holy Spirit showed me there is something better than being easy—instead, I should say be obedient and be holy. As an easy adult who was an easy child, I am realizing that being easy has led to being a people-pleaser, being wounded and not saying anything, and avoiding all...

Have you ever wanted to get to a certain goal, but it just takes so long that you are ready to give up? And meanwhile, it seems like all those around you are just flying achieving goals left and right. Well, friends, I want you to understand that the messy middle is where we can learn the most! I have been trying to reach 1 million downloads on this podcast for 2.5 years! Six months ago when thing...

There are times in our lives when God closes a door and pushes you to a new season. When that happens, we need to purge the things of the past—old ways of thinking, old tools, old habits. We also need to be very aware of people who may try to keep us stuck or suck us back into our old season. If you know darn good and well that you are ready for a new season, listen in close! My hope is that this...

I love talking with business owners who are rocking it and can encourage others with their progress. This week my conversation with Cara Massie does just that. Cara has been in business for no quite a year but is getting things done. She hit the ground running and has used what she learned in my Inner Circle trainings, as well as the Inner Circle community, to advance her business and set herself...

I spoke at my Equipped Conference last May about Moses mentality. We can learn so much from Moses. He gave God 5 reasons why he was not qualified and why God should not use him. But God said no, you've got this and went on to use him to do great things. I hope this encourages you to look past all the feelings of inadequacy and press on. The cry of our heart should be here I am God, use me!!! I am...

I have talked before about why every business owner needs a business a coach, but on this episode, I am specifically talking about how to pick a coach. There are some key factors like looking at where the coach is in their business journey and checking to make sure your values align that are so important when deciding who you will follow. Listen in to hear the rest of my advice! SHOW NOTES: Episod...

Today I want to talk to you about the importance of remembering and recording all the good things God has done for you. There are 2 scriptures in the book of Psalms (9:1 and 103:2) that I encourage you to study. In times we when are struggling or frustrated, we need to be able to look back at all the blessings we have been given, God's kind and marvelous works. Instead of only focusing on writing...

This week I am continuing my Behind the Scenes at Team Allwood series by talking with my Executive Project Manager, Jenna Kenyon. This is, of course, a great talk for anyone looking to hire a project manager or be hired as a project manager. However, there is also really good information to help with any working relationships—boss/employee, co-worker, etc. I hope you truly benefit from this backst...

Does looking at others' social media posts make you question what you are doing or rethink your current plan of action? Do you struggle with feeling pressure and comparison as you scroll? As I was working on my book this summer, it became very clear that social media was hindering my progress so I took a sabbatical. I realized that I needed to get my feelings of validation from Jesus, not Facebook...

We can learn so much by studying other businesses. This week we are talking to Stacey Haynes of Anchored Soul Designs. She has grown her business from just making signs for her and friends to now having signs in over 70 stores! In this business case study, we talk about the importance of her social media following, how she started wholesaling, finding balance with wholesale and retail, some ideas...

There is so much power in changing things up. When you are longing for something different in your business or in a relationship or in your life, you need to do some new and different things. Writing a book is a very different thing for me and to help me I have been changing things up, like a social media fast and checking in to a hotel (new space) to work. I want to encourage you to do look for p...

It does not matter if you have the very best product or service. What matters is that you have the best marketing for your product or service! Good marketing is all about perception and your belief that what you have to offer is valuable to your customers. I want you to understand the importance of really knowing the pain points of your audience and how your product is the solution. You need to be...

I want to talk about the lie of SELF-confidence. If you are waiting for confidence in yourself before you take the next step in your business or make a big life decision, you could be waiting a long time. The Bible does not talk about self-confidence. Instead, our confidence should be in the Lord and what He can do through us. We need to shift our focus to courage. The Bible says we should have co...

You have heard me say it before and you will probably hear me say it many more times—I love answering your questions! There is something about answering on the fly that is so fun and exciting. I also truly enjoy helping you move past whatever is holding you back. This week we are talking about when it is okay to stop growing, picking a business name, how long the cart should be open during a launc...
