What she finds instead reshapes how she thinks about faith, control, and leadership: humility, submission, and denial of self aren't losses. They're upward exchanges. This episode traces that discovery through scripture and shows why it's the actual starting point of aligned leadership, not a nice-to-have that comes after the strategy is figured out. What You'll Learn in This Episode: * Why the word "surrender" doesn't appear anywhere in the King James Version or Strong's Concordance * The scriptural words that actually describe this posture (and why they mean something different than "giving up") * How Jeremiah 38 and the Hebrew word "yasa" reframe what we've been taught about surrender * Why every biblical instruction to humble yourself, submit, or deny yourself is immediately followed by an exchange, not a loss * How holding onto control in your business is a spiritual issue before it's a strategic one * Why you cannot build a seven-figure business on a six-figure identity Key Takeaways: * Surrender, as the world defines it, means accepting defeat. Scripture never uses that word. * The words scripture actually uses (humble, submit, deny, take up your cross) are always paired with something greater coming back. * If you're still the bottleneck in your business, it's rarely a systems problem. It's a control problem wearing a business disguise. * Practicing surrender (or more accurately, humility and submission) in small things builds the trust that makes the bigger exchanges easier. * Aligned leadership starts with this posture, not with a better calendar or delegation plan.

71 | Why Joy Is a Leadership Function (And What Happens When You Lose It)

WHAT I ❤: I am LOVING the collagen from here 👇 Try it out!! https://us.shaklee.com/en_US/suroselfcare [https://us.shaklee.com/en_US/suroselfcare]/storefront Thank you for your support!!!! Mastering Tough Leadership Conversations 3:3:30 Only available for a limited time…Sign up HERE [https://susanro.myflodesk.com/toughconversations] or go to 👉 https://susanro.myflodesk.com/toughconversations Running a business means hard conversations come with the territory …difficult clients, underperforming contractors, misaligned partners. But knowing you need to have the conversation and actually having it are two very different things. This free guide: Mastering Tough Leadership Conversations covers a 4-part framework rooted in Proverbs that equips entrepreneurial moms to walk into hard moments with clarity, the right words, and their integrity intact. 📥 Grab the free guide: 👉 HERE [https://susanro.myflodesk.com/toughconversations]or 👉https://susanro.myflodesk.com/toughconversations [https://susanro.myflodesk.com/toughconversations] Most leadership conversations skip right over joy, treating it like a nice-to-have rather than what it actually is: a signal that your mindset, habits, and identity are aligned with who God made you to be. This episode unpacks the deep connection between creativity, joy, and effective leadership for the female founder who has built a working business but lost the aliveness she started with. If your aligned routines have collapsed into pure management mode and your stewardship of your gifts has quietly slipped, this episode names exactly what happened and why it matters more than any strategy you could implement right now. This is not a motivational episode. It is a direct conversation about why the most capable women in the room are often the most disconnected from the very gifts that are meant to fuel how they lead, and what Proverbs 16:3 has to say about the mindset shaping your business right now. What You'll Learn in This Episode: * Why God's first introduction of Himself in Scripture is as a creator, and what that means for your creative wiring and daily habits * How creativity and joy function as leadership forces, not personality traits or mindset extras * Why whole-brain thinking enhances both creativity and decision-making in your business * How aligned routines create the conditions for your leadership gifts to actually show up * How the discomfort of growing in your gifts is the very path where God's presence shows up most clearly * Why stewardship of your gifts is a serious biblical responsibility, not an optional aspiration * What Proverbs 16:3 actually says about your mindset and why that changes how you lead your business * How creativity connects directly to identity-first leadership and what it means for the woman scaling her business right now Key Takeaways: * Joy is not a reward for productivity. It is the signal that your mindset and habits are operating from alignment. * Creativity is a gift from God rooted in the truth that you are made in His image. It is meant to be developed through intentional habits and used consistently. * When aligned routines collapse and you stop creating and start only managing, your leadership capacity shrinks with it. * Proverbs 16:3 says commit your works to the Lord and your thoughts will be established. Your mindset shapes your words, and your words shape the environment you build around you. * Growing in your gifts requires pushing through fear and discomfort, and that is exactly where God meets you. * Stewardship of your talents is a matter of faithfulness, not ambition. You will be held accountable for what you did with what He gave you. * An aligned founder leads from joy and creative conviction, not from depletion and obligation. * Priorities that flow from identity rather than urgency produce a different kind of leadership entirely.
