Ep 370 | How to Hear God’s Voice and Discern the Real Root of Your Struggles with Heather O'Brien

Hey Winner, If you’ve ever found yourself second-guessing decisions, overanalyzing every move, or wondering why your business feels heavier than it should, this conversation is for you. In today’s episode, I’m joined by Heather O’Brien, prophetic healing coach, author, and host of the Heal with God podcast. Together, we explore why so many entrepreneurial struggles aren’t actually strategy problems at all, and what changes when we slow down long enough to ask God what’s really going on beneath the surface. Heather shares how fear, unresolved pain, or old belief systems often masquerade as procrastination, burnout, or confusion, and how learning to discern the true root brings clarity and peace even before circumstances change. If you’re faithful, capable, and doing “all the right things” but still feel stuck, this episode offers a gentler, wiser way forward. Rooting for you ~ Gabe   New to the podcast?

GBWS | How to Organize Your Life and Business So Growth Doesn’t Rely on You with Chelsi Jo Moore

Hey Winner, It’s easy to assume that if your business feels inconsistent, the problem is you. That you just need to be more disciplined, more focused, or more motivated.
