Ladies, your cycle directly impacts how you show up at work, and guess what? God designed it that way on purpose! If you've ever felt inconsistent, unmotivated, emotional, or just off at work and thought, "what's wrong with me?" - this episode will set you free.
You're a woman, created with rhythms and seasons that are meant to guide you, not shame you. We'll walk you through the 4 phases of your cycle (menstrual, follicular, ovulation, and luteal), and how each one affects your energy, productivity, communication, and clarity.
We discuss:
- The difference between masculine and feminine energy (and how both matter in your calling)
- Why your job might feel harder in certain phases and what to do about it
- How to invite God into your rhythms, rest, and work
- Healing from hustle culture and honoring your body
- The tasks you can do to match your cycle phases
This one’s packed with encouragement, practical insight, and deep permission to stop comparing yourself to anyone else, especially men. Let’s finally stop forcing ourselves into productivity patterns we were never built for. You were designed with purpose, cycle and all. 💛
Cheering you on,
Kelsey Kemp & Audrey Bagarus

In the previous episode, I shared how my life just blew up and my realizations that Jesus never hurried. He trusted the Father’s timing even in the slow and uncertain season, which hit me hard, but it also left me wondering:
How do I actually come back to God when I feel distant, numb, or even resistant to His presence?
That’s what this episode is all about. I’m sharing the exact things that helped me reconnect with God after dry, confusing, and even defiant seasons, like the prayer that changed everything, how I eased back into the Bible without guilt, and how confession opened my heart again.
If you're feeling far from God, spiritually dull, or unsure how to take the next step, this episode is a gentle, practical place to begin.

Back on April 1st, Episode 213, I shared a personal chitchat about why I was working with urgency – because life felt short, and I didn’t want to waste time. I wanted to crush my personal and business goals as soon as possible because we’re not guaranteed time.
And while most of that was true, here I am 10 episodes later taking a lot of that back, not because life isn’t short, but because I’ve come to realize that Jesus never hurries, and maybe I wasn’t supposed to either.
In this episode, I open up about one of the most refining seasons I’ve ever walked through: burnout, back-to-back ER visits, fertility struggles, financial debt, and business plans falling apart. But it’s also the season where God met me most tenderly, showing that even in weakness, He always provides. That even in chaos, He always brings peace. And yes, that includes an unexpected $18,000 check that covered every single debt I was carrying.
This is my raw, unfiltered testimony of God’s faithfulness in the slow and uncertain. If you’re in a season that feels the same, where everything seems completely off-track, please hold on to your faith. God sees you. God hears you. And He will make everything perfect in His time.
Soli Deo Gloria. 🤍

You'll hear how he:
Navigated feelings of self-doubt and stagnation
Took bold steps to demonstrate his value and initiate change
Leveraged internal opportunities to build skills that aligned with his dream role
Negotiated a 35% salary increase in the process
This is the behind-the-scenes of what it really looks like to create a career you're called to, without switching companies. If you're a Christian job seeker or someone who feels unseen in your current role, this episode is for you.

Have you ever felt lost after a major life shift, unsure where to go next in your career?
That’s exactly where our client, Nathan, found himself after returning from missions work. With a background in engineering and a desire to serve, he didn’t know what direction to take... until one informational interview, and a single LinkedIn message, changed everything.

Audrey and Nathan discuss:
Why sending out hundreds of job applications wasn’t working for him
How he used informational interviews to gain clarity and confidence
The exact moment a LinkedIn message turned into a job offer
How he landed a role at United Way (without a perfect resume)
How our coaching program helped him take consistent action without burnout

Why losing her job was the beginning of something better
Encouragement for anyone who feels too old, too late, or too lost to start again
What it means to “set the table” for the Holy Spirit in your career

Are you lacking confidence in your job search or career?
You might not have a confidence problem, you might have a clarity problem.
In this solo episode, Audrey shares the connection between confidence and clarity, rooted in biblical truth and personal experience. She shares how true confidence doesn’t come from surface-level fixes like body language or mindset hacks… but from understanding who you are, how God made you, and what you’re truly called to do.
Audrey discuss:
Why you feel stuck or unsure, and how clarity changes everything
What self-reflection looks like for a Christian (and how it connects you to God)
How your job can be an expression of your God-given identity—not your identity itself
What it actually takes to walk in confidence and peace
Why abandoning yourself for the sake of “serving others” may be keeping you from your calling
This episode is honest, raw, and filled with biblical encouragement.
If you’ve ever said, “I just don’t feel confident enough to make a move…” – this one’s for you.

Life is short; you either have your reasons or your results.
In this solo chitchat episode, I record from my car and share what’s really been on my heart lately: how the realization that we’re not promised more times has lit a fire in me to stop playing small, start acting boldly, and fully trust God even when outcomes are uncertain.
This isn’t about hustle for hustle’s sake, but about stewarding the season you’re in, whether you’re waiting for a breakthrough in your career or navigating growing challenges in your calling.
I talk about:
The real reason why I’ve been working with urgency lately
What I’ve learned listening to people in their 40s, 50s, and 60s wish they started sooner
Why “life is short” is NOT a cliché
How the Dunning-Kruger effect shows up in your calling
And why I believe now more than ever: your reasons won’t comfort you in the end, only your results will
📖 Scripture that’s been guiding me:
Ecclesiastes 11:1-6
Romans 8:28

Human trafficking is one of the darkest realities in our world today, but what if your business could be part of the solution? In this episode of Answer the Call, I sit down with my dear friend, Meredith Limoges, founder of Beaudin Designs and the Door of Hope nonprofit, to explore how she built a freedom business that provides hope, dignity, and financial independence for survivors of human trafficking.
💡 What is a Freedom Business?
A freedom business is a mission-driven business model designed to provide employment, training, and support for survivors of human trafficking. Rather than relying on donations, these businesses create sustainable solutions that help survivors regain financial independence and rebuild their lives.
💡What You'll Learn in This Episode:
How Meredith turned a handbag business into a mission-driven movement
The struggles of balancing business and ministry — and what she learned
The biggest mistakes mission-driven entrepreneurs make (so you can avoid them!)
Practical steps to start and scale a business that actually makes an impact
Why profit and purpose can coexist—and how to build a sustainable freedom business
The truth about human trafficking that most people don’t know
If you’ve ever felt called to start a business that truly makes a difference, this episode is for you.

In this client success story, Lauren Miracle shares how she felt stuck in a job she didn't love, knowing she wanted more but feeling totally lost on what to do next. She thought she had to figure it all out alone — until she realized she didn’t.
Instead of spinning her wheels, she "recruited a partner" (us!) to help her navigate her job search, and the results were amazing! She landed a stable job that pays the bills AND gives her the time and security to start her dream business on the side.
Audrey and Lauren discuss:
Why job searching feels so hard—and how to make it easier The small mindset shift that led Lauren to the right job How talking about your job search (instead of keeping it a secret) opens unexpected doors What trusting God in your career actually looks likeThe importance of “recruiting a partner”If you’re tired of job hunting alone and want a real strategy for finding work that supports your goals, this is for you.

Your career advancement ISN’T just about what you know. It’s also highly driven by how you treat others and how you present yourself. This is why I knew I had to have Alison Cheperdak, the founder of Elevate Etiquette to share her experience with you this week.
Most people think etiquette is just about knowing which fork to use and how to dress fancy, BUT there’s so much more to that.
The way you present yourself, communicate, and interact with others can open doors – or close them. And as Christians, how we carry ourselves in professional settings is an extension of how we honor God and serve others.
Here’s the thing: most job seekers focus on resumes, LinkedIn, and networking while overlooking the ONE skill that can make or break career opportunities. And it’s not about being stuffy or elitist, it’s about building real relationships with kindness, integrity, and respect.
In this episode, I’m joined by my dear friend Alison Cheperdak, founder of Elevate Etiquette, as we dive into the power of etiquette in job searching, networking, and career growth.
We discuss:
What etiquette really is and how it aligns with biblical principles like kindness and respect
The small but powerful habits that help (or hurt) your job search
The biggest social mistakes that can hold back your career
How etiquette gives you an edge in professional settings - even for introverts
By the end of this episode, you’ll know exactly how to present yourself with confidence, make meaningful connections, and use etiquette as a tool for career success while staying true to your faith.
Cheering you on,
Kelsey Kemp & Audrey Bagarus
