205: Pt. 2 Rest in Being the Light | Natalie Lavelock on Spirit-Centered Business™

We’ve talked about the power of pausing in God’s presence—those “Selah” moments that give us a chance to breathe, reflect, and really connect with what matters most.

Natalie emphasizes the importance of approaching these situations with compassion rather than judgment, opening doors for deeper connections. #EmpathyInLeadershipBe the Lighthouse: Be willing to share your message, even in places where it might not be well-received.

Give yourself permission to recharge—you'll come back stronger! #RestToRechargeMind the Gap: Natalie brings wisdom with a fresh twist on gap analysis—sometimes those gaps in life or business are there for a reason.
