In this solo episode, I explore a powerful shift that’s been reshaping my life and leadership: moving from owning my blessings to truly stewarding them. I share how a simple but confronting truth—“It’s not good stewardship to complain about what God has already given you”—led me to reevaluate the way I was approaching my marriage, business, faith, and daily peace. Through honest reflections on success, comparison, and control, I walk you through the difference between routine and practice, ownership and stewardship, and why happiness isn’t something we chase—it’s something we notice. I also share the daily gratitude rituals and spiritual practices that have grounded me in presence, softened my ambition, and brought peace back into my home, my work, and my identity. If you're ready to release pressure, reconnect to what’s already here, and lead from a deeper place of trust, this episode will feel like coming home. Liked this episode?

At one point in my life, every single one of those things was something I prayed for, and now they're part of my everyday reality. But somewhere along the way, I stopped treating them like miracles, and I started treating them like they were something that needed maintenance. And that's where the gratitude gap begins.” - Julie Solomon “ There are three things that will steal your gratitude faster than anything else. Money, property, and prestige. When you put yourself in the driver's seat of those three. When you start idolizing your money, your property, or your prestige, things start to get shaky. Because that's when you start thinking you are the source of it all instead of the steward.” - Julie Solomon RESOURCES: ✨ Unscripted: My First In-Person Retreat in 2+ Years — Now Accepting Applications If you’ve felt your voice no longer matches the woman you’ve become, this intimate 2-day retreat in Nashville (Feb 5–6, 2026) is for you.
