Gentle Art of Leadership Podcast – Emily Shoup

Introduction

Four time guest, and my beautiful wife Emily Shoup, is back for a Valentine’s Day episode. Emily is a Jesus follower, wife, mother, beacon of light and hope for hurting women, and my right hand woman in business and life.  In this episode, we discuss the power of setting boundaries, prioritizing what truly matters, and how we are living in a season of saying “no”. We talked about the importance of taking a day of rest through our new practice of a Sunday Sabbath, explaining how this intentional pause has brought peace, clarity and transformation into our family’s life. Emily declares her God given purpose of helping women who are hurting, and opens up about the sacrifices she made to step in and support me when I needed her. This conversation is a deep dive into faith, family, life, business and leadership,with an encouraging message and challenge to you to say “NO” to people and decisions that don’t align with your calling.
