Seeds Underground: Keeping Faith Through the Silent Season

I sat down to record this one raw, no notes, no polish. Twenty years of my career just ended, and I wanted to tell you why before I tell you what’s next. In this episode, you’ll hear: The real story behind why I just shut down 20 years of business coaching, and the years of wobbling it took me to actually do it What it felt like to keep reaching for the familiar even after I knew it was already over The prayer I prayed over every woman standing in her own end of an era, including you, if that’s where you are right now Resources:  Faith & Fortune 3-Day Live Event Substack   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The garden analogy for business breakthroughs — I reframe the frustrating "nothing's happening" feeling in business as seeds germinating underground rather than failure, offering listeners a mindset shift for their own slow seasons. Personal vulnerability from Provence — I share a real, unfiltered account of a months-long wait for career clarity (and the exact moment it finally arrived on a drive through the French countryside), giving listeners an intimate look at her own doubt, faith, and eventual breakthrough. A practical distinction between "command" and "demand" — I unpack what it actually means to co-create with the divine versus forcing outcomes.

Today I want to talk about something I can't stop noticing: I don't know a single woman right now who isn't living in the "both/and." Something in her life is genuinely grueling — bringing her to her knees hard — and at the very same time, her life is so beautiful and there's so much to be grateful for. I'm living it, my friends are living it, my clients are living it.  In this episode: You need permission to hold two truths at once. If you're in a season that feels like the hardest and most beautiful thing you've ever lived through, I want you to know you're not broken and you're not alone — and I'll walk you through how to hold both without letting the hard part win. I'll give you a real, practical reframe. It's not enough to just feel better — I'll show you the shift I use myself: instead of spinning on what's wrong, I ask "where did I leave God out of the equation?" It turns frustration into an invitation instead of a shame spiral. I'm getting personal. I'm telling you about my own court case, why leaving Italy broke my heart, and how Paris — a place I never once dreamed of living — turned out to be even better than what I thought couldn't be topped. If you're waiting on your own "better than I imagined," this is for you. Resources  Substack The Audacity to be Queen by Gina DeVee Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Financial pressure isn't reserved for the woman just starting out — it visits six, seven, and eight-figure women too. In this episode, Gina reframes it not as proof that something's wrong with you, but as a mirror: a signal you've drifted from the Divine and from the truth of who you are. With equal parts scripture and luxury and a dash of all things are possible,  she walks you out of the 2am money-spiral, out of comparison, out of should and into desire, so the right clients, the inspired action, and the lavish abundance can flow again. This isn't a lecture about hustling harder. It's an invitation to come home to alignment,  to remember who you are, and Whose you are and to stop self-manufacturing the very struggle you're praying your way out of. In this episode: Why financial pressure — even at six and seven figures — might be the most useful thing that's happened to you all year How to stop the 2am spiral and trade comparison for the truth that there's no lack of money, clients, or creativity meant for you Why being so much you (instead of cloning what's working for her, and her, and her) is the real magnet for your people — and your income The difference between mindless hustle and divinely-led, inspired action A closing prayer to open you to greater prosperity If your calling is loud but your business hasn't caught up, this one's for you, darling. — Mentioned in this episode: My brand-new summer private mentorship — a Paris or Provence intensive plus three months of mentoring, for the woman ready to let her gifts make a difference and a fortune.

I'm also getting honest about the times I thought I was ready before I actually was — for the marriage, the visibility, the money — and why our excitement can actually fool us into suffering that was never meant for us. Plus, the personal family situation that reminded me what it looks like to take on something God never actually assigned to me. (Sound familiar?).  In this episode: Why your business struggles might be spiritually misaligned, not strategically broken. The difference between your best thinking and divine intelligence, and how to tell which one you're operating from right now. The "one golden step" principle that changed everything for me — God doesn't hand out five-year plans (trust me, I've asked). Here's how to receive and act on the single next step with power, grace, and full conviction. Claiming the victory from the valley — not just the mountaintop — How to declare your win when the client hasn't shown up, the financial miracle hasn't arrived, and it feels like God went quiet. This is where your breakthrough actually begins. If this episode hit home, share it with a woman in your world who's been pushing harder when what she really needs is to surrender smarter. And if you want more of this conversation — the depth, the prayer, the real behind-the-scenes of what it looks like to build a business with God — come find me on Substack.

There is no lack when you are connected to the divine.

I'm going to be really honest with you. I landed in Paris — my dream city, my fresh start, the move I had been building toward — and within hours, a long-standing family dynamic came roaring back, it was freezing cold, and I discovered my gorgeous Airbnb had no oven. Not even a toaster. And I realized: I had been wearing my princess tiara, waiting for my life to finally be perfect before I really started living it. This episode is about swapping that tiara for a queen crown — and what it actually looks like to create a beautiful, intentional life when everything around you is beautifully, gloriously imperfect. "It's doing the thing that ends up getting the ducks in the row. Not waiting until they're already there." In this episode, we talk about: The "waiting for perfect" trap — and how to get out of it The prayer that shifted everything for me Why more money doesn't fix your money story Resources: 📖 The Audacity to Be Queen by Gina DeVee 🌍 Gina's Paris Retreats & Private One-Day Intensives Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What if the reason your business (or life) feels so hard right now isn't a strategy problem — it's a surrender problem? In this episode, Gina gets vulnerably real about a personal struggle that brought her to her knees, and what happened when she finally stopped trying to fix it herself. The trap so many women entrepreneurs fall into — and why working harder, pushing more, and "making it happen" may actually be blocking the very thing you want The prayer that changed everything — how Gina applied radical surrender to one of her most important relationships, and the jaw-dropping result that followed The $15K offer that sold out in 5 days — right after a $497 course barely sold to anyone — and what that wild contrast reveals about divine guidance vs. ego-led strategy If you've been white-knuckling your way toward a goal and getting nowhere, this episode will stop you in your tracks — in the best way possible.
