Her Faith At Work

You've landed on a website and felt nothing — not turned off, just... nothing. Forgettable copy, a professional tone, and zero sense of who was actually behind it. Here's the uncomfortable question: could someone say the same thing about yours? In a market flooded with AI-generated sameness, the businesses breaking through aren't the loudest or the most polished. They're the ones that feel most human. This episode is about how to be one of them.What you'll learn:Why AI tools are flattening the internet — and what that means for your brand right nowThe "you're my person" question every website visitor is secretly askingThree specific places your personality has to show up on your websiteWhat "uniquely you" actually means in practice (it's more specific than authentic)Why your website and email list are the best home for a human brandYour Collab Task: a two-part website audit you can do in under ten minutesKey takeaway / quotable:"Your website is not a brochure.

You've heard "grow your email list" a hundred times. But nobody tells you how to actually do it without posting every day and praying the algorithm cooperates.In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on exactly how I grew my email list by over 200% in 75 days — and not a single bit of it came from social media. It came from something older and more powerful than any platform: relationships.I walk you through the four collaboration types I used, which one drove the most growth (and why), and the unexpected referral chain that led me from my own hosted event straight to a paid sponsorship opportunity I never saw coming. Plus the one thing I now believe is more important to your long-term business growth than any funnel, any content calendar, or any algorithm hack.In this episode:Why podcast guesting alone wasn't moving the needle — and what I did differentlyWhat the Workflow Exchange was, how I built it, and why it outperformed everything elseThe real reason a summit sponsorship converts better than a social ad (hint: it's about trust)How to evaluate a bundle before you say yes — because not every one is worth your timeWhy building relationships might be the single most important business investment you can makeEPISODE HIGHLIGHTS[00:00] The result first: 200% email list growth in 75 days, no social media involved[02:00] The honest starting point — where my list actually was at the end of February[05:00] Why podcast guesting builds credibility but has limits as a list-growth strategy[08:00] The Workflow Exchange: what it was, how I built it, and why ten women's audiences became mine[12:00] The referral that changed everything — and how one relationship led to another[15:00] Summit sponsorship vs. social ads: why borrowed trust converts at a different rate[18:00] Bundles: the most accessible collaboration type and how to know if one is right for you[21:00] The big idea: relationships aren't just a nice-to-have — they're the strategy[24:00] What this means for your list right now, and your one action step this weekKEY TAKEAWAY"List-building isn't a solo project.

You've checked off the logo. You've picked your colors. You've maybe even got a website. But your business still feels scattered — and you're not sure why people aren't finding you.Here's the thing: your brand is not your logo. It's how you make people feel. And if you don't have a clear workflow for putting that brand out into the world consistently — without burning yourself out or living on social media — you're leaving growth on the table.This week I'm sharing a replay of a conversation I had with my friend Tracy Hoth on her podcast, The Organized Coach. Y'all, I listened back to this one and immediately asked Tracy if I could share it with you here — it was that good. We talked brand foundations, podcast workflows, email strategy, and what it actually looks like to build a business without social media when you also have a full-time job (hi, fellow church staff friends

What if the reason you feel perpetually behind has nothing to do with your calendar — and everything to do with your heart? In this episode, Jan sits down with Lissa Figgins, Scaling Strategist and founder of Redeem Her Time, for a conversation that will completely reframe the way you think about your days. If you've ever said "I just don't have enough time," this one's for you.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy traditional time management is actually keeping Christian women entrepreneurs stuckThe doctor's appointment that changed Lissa's entire approach to time — and businessThe difference between being a manager of your time and a steward of it (and why it matters for your growth)What ROTI (Return on Time Invested) is — and how to use it to evaluate what's actually worth your effortLissa's 3 powerful mindset shifts for moving from overwhelm to focus and peaceWhy multitasking is your kryptonite, not your superpowerHow the 12-Week Focus Cycle can help you hit goals faster without the year-end panicThe one question to ask yourself every single morning that changes everythingKey TakeawaysBusyness is a heart issue, not a scheduling issue. Lissa shares how God used a thyroid scare and a diagnosis of "hystericus globus" (anxiety in the body) to show her that her overwhelm wasn't a disordered calendar — it was a disordered heart.You. Have. Time. Lissa's signature declaration isn't just a motivational phrase — it's a theological truth. God gives each of us 24 hours daily, like manna. The problem isn't the supply. It's how we're receiving and investing it.Manager vs. Steward. Drawing from Matthew 25 (the Parable of the Talents), Lissa unpacks why trying to manage your time keeps you playing whack-a-mole — but stewarding your time leads to kingdom-level expansion in your business and life.ROTI over ROI. You track return on investment for money — so why not for your time? Lissa challenges entrepreneurs to start tracking whether high-time-cost activities (like social media) are actually producing results.The 3 Shifts:"I don't have time" → You have time."I need to manage my time" → I'm here to steward it."What time is it?" → What is it time for?Resources Mentioned

I took two weeks off from this podcast — and honestly? I felt guilty about it.Easter season at the church where I work is our Super Bowl. It's holy, it's exhausting, and it requires everything I have. On top of that, a wave of new website clients came in this quarter — which I'm grateful for — but it meant my margins were thin and the podcast had to pause.And then, in the middle of all of it, an email landed in my inbox. A listener had noticed I'd gone quiet. She wasn't frustrated. She wasn't unsubscribing. She was checking on me — and asking how she could pray for me.That email changed everything about how I'm thinking about rest, business, and owned media.In this episode, we're talking about the Sabbath Principle: why God built rest into the design of a well-ordered life, why the guilt you feel when you step away from your business is a lie worth naming out loud, and how to plan ahead so your business keeps serving your people even when a holy season calls you away.You'll walk away with:Why the guilt spiral after a break is a social media problem, not a God problemHow owned media (your podcast, your email list) is the Sabbath-friendly marketing strategyA practical framework for mapping your busy seasons before you plan your content calendarHow to batch content and automate your systems so rest is always an optionPermission to come back — even after a long silenceIf you've been away from your podcast or email list and haven't known how to return, this episode is for you.

Are you pouring energy into social media, podcast guesting, and SEO — only to watch those visitors disappear with no way to reach them again? In this episode of Her Faith at Work, Jan Touchberry reveals why your email list is the single most powerful organic marketing tool a Christian woman entrepreneur can build — and why every other visibility strategy you use becomes exponentially more effective when it feeds into a well-tended list.Jan breaks down the "bucket with a hole in it" problem that plagues even the most visible online businesses, walks through what a healthy email list actually does for your bottom line, brings a faith-based perspective on email stewardship, and gives you a practical 5-step framework — including a complete welcome sequence breakdown — to start building and tending your list today.What We Cover in This EpisodeWhy social media is "borrowed ground" — and what that means for your business stabilityThe mindset shift: your email list is the engine of visibility, not the reward for it4 things a healthy email list does for your business (including the one that directly impacts revenue)Why building an email list is an act of faith-based stewardshipThe 5 practical components you need to start growing your listA complete breakdown of the 5-email welcome sequence that warms up new subscribersWhat to do right now — whether you have no list, a dormant list, or a thriving oneKey Takeaways1. Social Media Is Borrowed GroundYou do not own your Instagram following, your Facebook page, or your TikTok audience. Algorithms shift, accounts get shut down, platforms disappear. Your email list is the one audience asset you actually own — and you can take it with you anywhere.2. Your List Is the Engine, Not the RewardWaiting until you have a "big enough" following to focus on your email list is a costly mistake. Every piece of visibility content you create — podcast appearances, SEO blog posts, collaborations — becomes dramatically more effective when it flows to a list that captures and retains interested people.3. Email Converts Better Than Social MediaPeople on your email list have already taken a step toward you. They are not passive scrollers — they are engaged. The data consistently shows that email subscribers convert to buyers at a significantly higher rate than social media followers.4. Your List Is a Stewardship ResponsibilityWhen someone hands you their email address, they are trusting you with something personal. Stewarding that access well — showing up with intention, delivering real value, not abusing the relationship — reflects the kind of business you are called to build.5. Consistency Is CompoundingEvery email you send is a deposit into the relationship. Going silent for months and then appearing in someone's inbox to sell something is a trust-breaker. You don't have to email daily — but you do have to show up regularly enough that people remember who you are.The 5-Email Welcome Sequence BreakdownJan walks through her recommended welcome sequence for new subscribers:Email 1 — Deliver & Introduce (Send immediately)Deliver the freebie, introduce yourself in 2-3 sentences, and tell subscribers what to expect from you going forward. Keep it short and warm.Email 2 — Your Story (Send 1-2 days later)Why do you do what you do? What brought you here? People buy from people they relate to — this is where that connection starts.Email 3 — Address the Core Problem (Send 2-3 days later)Speak directly to the struggle that brought them to your list. Show them you understand. This is not a sales email — it's an "I see you" email.Email 4 — Teach Something Useful (Send 2-3 days later)Give a quick win. A tip, a framework, a simple shift they can apply immediately. Proving your value before you ask for anything builds trust fast.Email 5 — Make an Offer (Send 2-3 days later)Now you've earned the right to invite them into something. Keep it natural and low-pressure: "If you want to go deeper, here's how I can help."5 Things You Need to Start Building Your List1. A compelling opt-in offerSolve one specific problem for one specific person. A checklist, guide, private podcast playlist, or short video training — something that gives her a quick win.2. A dedicated landing pageA clean page that answers three questions: What is it? Who is it for? What do they get?3. An email platformFlodesk, ConvertKit, MailChimp, ActiveCampaign — the best one is the one you will actually use. Set up automated delivery so your freebie reaches subscribers immediately.4. A welcome sequenceThree to five emails that introduce you, build trust, and set up a natural first offer. Don't leave new subscribers in silence.5. ConsistencyShow up regularly. Not necessarily daily or even weekly — but often enough that your subscribers remember who you are when your email lands.Resources & Links MentionedJoin Jan's email list: jantouchberry.com/newsletterFlodesk (email platform Jan uses) — https://jantouchberry.com/emailYour Next StepNo email list yet?Start today.

How to Grow Your Business With SEO (Without Social Media) — Faith Hanan on Her Faith at WorkEpisode OverviewAre you tired of posting on Instagram and TikTok every day — only to watch your content die in 24 hours? In this episode of Her Faith at Work, host Jan Touchberry sits down with Faith Hanan, accidental SEO expert, copywriter, barrel racer, and mom of three, to talk about one of the most powerful (and misunderstood) tools for growing a Christian woman's business online: search engine optimization.Faith has not posted on social media for her business in over three years — and her business is still growing. In this conversation, she breaks down why SEO is the "crockpot of marketing," how to find the right keywords for your business, and what tools you can use today even if your budget is $0.About Faith HananFaith Hanan is an accidental SEO expert, copywriter, podcaster, homeschool mom, worship leader, and competitive barrel racer. She runs a copywriting and SEO agency and teaches faith-filled entrepreneurs how to scale their online businesses using SEO, keywords, and blogging — all in less than 20 hours a week.She is the host of the Simple SEO & Marketing podcast and creator of the Simple SEO Framework (SSF) group coaching program.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhat SEO actually is — and why it shortens your sales cycle by putting you in front of "hot leads" instead of cold audiencesWhy social media content has a half-life of less than 24 hours (and what to do instead)How Faith hasn't posted on social media for her business in 3+ years — and still growsThe #1 mistake entrepreneurs make with keywords (hint: you're speaking a different language than your customers)Why targeting 120 highly specific monthly searches beats chasing 10,000 broad onesThe free tools you can start using today: Ubersuggest and Google Search ConsoleHow to know if your SEO is actually workingFaith's simple framework: get your core pages optimized first, then add SEO-rich blog contentHow to write an SEO-optimized blog post in 90 minutes and maintain your traffic machine in 2 hours a weekKey TakeawaysWhat is SEO and why does it matter for small business owners?SEO (Search Engine Optimization) helps search engines like Google understand what your business does and surface your website to the right people at the right time. Unlike social media, which dies within 24 hours, SEO-optimized content can drive traffic for years. Faith describes it as "the crockpot of marketing" — you do the work upfront and results compound over time.How do I find the right keywords for my business?Faith recommends a two-step process:Start on paper — brainstorm words and phrases your ideal client would type into Google when searching for the problem you solve.Then validate with a tool — Ubersuggest (free version) connects directly to Google's API and gives you real search data, not estimates.Key insight: A keyword with only 120 monthly searches from your exact ideal client is far more valuable than a keyword with 10,000 monthly searches dominated by Nike and Under Armour.How long does SEO take to work?Most businesses start seeing results within 1.5 to 3 months, with more significant momentum around 6 months. The speed depends on your website's current health, how long you've had a web presence, and how competitive your keywords are.Can I do SEO without being on social media?Yes. Faith is living proof. She stopped posting on social media for her business over three years ago and relies entirely on SEO and long-form content (blogs, podcasts). Because SEO-optimized content continues to be indexed and discovered for years, it works for you 24/7 — even while you sleep.Episode Timestamps00:00 Introduction — Meet Faith Hanan02:25 Faith's background: SEO agency, homeschooling, and barrel racing03:55 Jan's personal SEO journey — 6 months in, seeing momentum04:32 SEO is the “crockpot of marketing” — why people quit too soon05:00 What SEO actually does (and why it shortcuts the sales process)06:33 The social media rat race and why SEO is a better long-term strategy07:13 Faith hasn't posted on social media for 3+ years — and it started as a church fast08:10 The half-life of social media vs. the longevity of blog content09:17 How to get started with SEO without getting overwhelmed09:45 The keyword language gap: how you talk vs. how clients search10:57 Why small, specific keywords beat high-volume broad terms13:40 Free and affordable keyword tools — Ubersuggest deep dive15:00 Start keyword research on paper first, then use tools16:36 How to know if SEO is working — Google Analytics & Search Console17:00 Optimize your core website pages before your blog19:16 Broken links, analytics, and getting coaching (barrel racing analogy)22:05 About the Simple SEO Framework (SSF) group coaching program24:42 Special discount code for Her Faith at Work listeners: JAN26:11 Where to find Faith — FaithHanan.com/framework26:25 The Workflow Exchange — SEO for blogging workflow from FaithResources & Links MentionedFaith Hanan's websiteSimple SEO Framework (SSF) Group CoachingKeyword Research Kickstart (affordable beginner course)Simple SEO & Marketing PodcastThe Workflow Exchange (free SEO for Blogging workflow)Ubersuggest (free keyword research tool)Google Search Console (free)Google Analytics (free)

We all know the Fruit of the Spirit sounds great on Sunday. But by Monday? That fruit can feel really far away. In this episode, we get real about what it actually looks like to walk in love, patience, peace, and self-control when life gets hard -- a difficult client, a team member who dropped the ball, or a season that's just heavy. This one's practical, honest, and for every woman trying to run her business and her life with faith in the middle of it.Scriptures Referenced"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control."— Galatians 5:22-23 (NIV)"A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger." — Proverbs 15:1 (NIV)"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."— Galatians 6:9 (NIV)"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." — Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV)"I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing."— John 15:5 (NIV)Key TakeawaysThe Fruit of the Spirit grows -- you can't force it. Your job is to stay connected to the source and let it flow from there.Love and kindness in business doesn't mean being a pushover. You can hold your boundary AND lead with a gentle tone.Before you reply to that frustrating email or message, pause. Even five minutes changes everything.Your standards don't drop just because someone else's did. Faithfulness is showing up with integrity even when others don't.Joy is not the same as happiness. You can be in a hard season and still have deep-down peace that God's got you.You don't try harder -- you abide deeper. Stay connected to Jesus, and the fruit takes care of itself.Reflection QuestionsTake a few minutes with these this week -- in your journal, on a walk, or just sitting quietly with your coffee.Where is it hardest right now for you to walk in patience or self-control -- at work, at home, or somewhere else?Is there a situation you've been reacting to instead of responding to? What would it look like to pause first?What does your time with God look like right now? Is the root strong enough to produce the fruit you need?Who in your life or business needs you to lead with gentleness this week, even when it's hard?One Thing to Try This WeekPick one relationship or situation that's been draining you -- a client, a team member, a hard season -- and before you engage with it this week, spend two minutes in prayer first. Just two minutes. Hand it to God before you handle it yourself. See what changes.CONNECT WITH JAN:Here are all the best places and FREE stuff

Her Faith at Work – Monday DevoPerfect Peace in Heavy SeasonsIf the start of this year has felt heavy, you're not alone.In this week's Monday Devo, we pause. We breathe. And we anchor ourselves in truth. When life feels unsettled—personally, professionally, globally—it's easy for that weight to spill into your business, your leadership, and your faith.But there is a promise that steadies us.“You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.” — Isaiah 26:3This short but powerful devotional is a reminder that peace isn't found in control, clarity, or calmer circumstances.

In this episode, Jan Touchberry discusses the challenges of using social media for business growth, emphasizing the need for a clear strategy that focuses on visibility and conversion rather than mere presence.

You'll learn which metrics drive real growth, which ones are simply vanity metrics, and how to steward your business numbers without letting them steal your peace.This conversation goes beyond dashboards and analytics, starting with alignment—asking the Lord whether the work you're building honors Him—then moving into the practical KPIs you should review weekly, monthly, and quarterly.If you've ever felt overwhelmed by analytics, unsure what numbers truly matter, or caught yourself tying your worth to your stats, this episode will bring clarity, focus, and freedom.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhat KPIs actually mean—and how to tell the difference between useful data and noiseThe most important KPIs for service providers and coaches in 2026Which podcast and blog metrics predict growth (and which don't)Why email list growth matters more than followers or downloadsCommon vanity metrics to stop obsessing overA simple KPI review rhythm you can actually stick toHow Jan tracks her KPIs monthly using EnjiWhy alignment with God should always come before analyticsKey TakeawaysKPIs are tools—not a measure of your worthIf a metric doesn't change your decisions, it's not a true KPIConversion and retention matter more than visibilityOwned platforms (like your email list) are critical for sustainable growthClarity reduces anxiety—fragmented data creates overwhelmStrategy and obedience are meant to work togetherResources MentionedTrack your KPIs in one place:Jan uses Enji to monitor leads, conversions, and content performance without juggling multiple dashboards.

This episode marks the beginning of something new. Jan shares a personal moment of conviction and clarity—an invitation from the Lord to return this podcast to its faith-first foundation. Instead of starting the week with strategies and to-do lists, these short Monday episodes are designed to reset your heart, your focus, and your leadership by meeting with God first.Drawing from Exodus 33:7–11, Jan reflects on the Tent of Meeting—a place where Moses met with the Lord face to face, as one speaks to a friend. The reminder is simple but confronting: too often, we watch from a distance or seek human guidance before seeking God's direction ourselves.This episode is an encouragement to stop outsourcing spiritual discernment and to step into intentional, personal time with the Lord—especially as a business owner navigating decisions, clarity, and direction.Jan closes by praying over you, your business, and the work of your hands as you commit it to God first.Key TakeawaysWhy this podcast is shifting to short, faith-forward Monday devotionalsThe danger of watching others “meet with God” instead of going yourselfWhat the Tent of Meeting teaches us about leadership, intimacy, and clarityWhy seeking God first matters before hiring coaches or making big decisionsHow stillness and proximity create space to hear God clearlyA prayer over your week, your business, and your obedienceScripture ReferencedExodus 33:7–11Closing EncouragementBefore you open your calendar…Before you make a decision…Before you pay someone else to help you get clarity…Go meet with the Lord.CONNECT WITH JAN:Here are all the best places and FREE stuff

What if sales didn't have to feel pushy, manipulative, or uncomfortable?

Sales Is Serving—Period.If you have a solution to someone's problem and you don't tell them about it, you're not being humble—you're withholding help. Sales done right is generosity, not pressure.2. Vision Is Your GPSWithout a clear, prayed-through vision, you'll chase every shiny object and wonder why nothing sticks. Write it down. Revisit it. Ask God often, “Is this still aligned?”3. You Might Be Talking to the Wrong BuyerSometimes the person who loves your offer isn't the one making the decision. Knowing who actually signs the check changes everything about your messaging and sales conversations.4. ROI Is About StewardshipYour time, money, marketing, and energy are all resources God has entrusted to you. Tracking what's working—and what's not—isn't unspiritual.

If you've felt uneasy about how visibility works lately, you're not imagining it.People aren't browsing the internet the way they used to. They're asking full questions — and increasingly, they're being given one clear answer instead of a list of options. Tools like Google's AI results, voice assistants, and ChatGPT are quietly reshaping how businesses are discovered.In this episode, we're unpacking Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and what it means for small business owners who want visibility without being dependent on social media.This conversation isn't about trends or tech jargon. It's about clarity — how clearly you explain what you do, who you help, and how you help — and why that clarity is now one of the most important visibility assets your business has.You'll learn how AI tools actually decide which explanations to surface, why your podcast and website matter more than social platforms for long-term discovery, and how to start adjusting your content so it's understandable to both people and answer engines.In this episode, we cover:Why search is shifting from browsing results to receiving answersThe difference between traditional Google search and AI-generated answersWhy Siri and other voice assistants are increasingly routing questions to ChatGPTWhat Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) actually is — without the hypeHow AI uses podcast content (and why audio alone isn't enough)Why clarity in episode titles and content matters more than clevernessHow Christian entrepreneurs can think about visibility as stewardship, not self-promotionA simple, actionable strategy to improve discoverability without posting on social mediaKey takeaway:Visibility today isn't about being everywhere.It's about being clear enough to be understood when someone is searching for help.Businesses that explain things well are the ones being surfaced.Free Resource Mentioned:If you want help evaluating whether your content is actually clear and discoverable, download the Visibility Checklist here:

Before you set a single 2026 goal, I need you to stop.This isn't your typical “get ready for the new year, new you” pep talk. This is your preparation conversation.

Most women cringe when they hear the word sales. It feels slimy, pushy, and completely out of alignment with who we are.

After two decades in corporate America and a life-changing season of reading the Bible cover-to-cover, Stefani walked away from the burnout cycle to help women anchor their worth in God's truth and lead with confidence.We unpack how to rethink sales (without the smarm), why Jesus was the ultimate “salesman,” and practical ways to ask better questions, influence with integrity, and find the right clients without losing yourself in the hustle. Whether you love sales, hate sales, or avoid it at all costs—this conversation will shift how you show up in business and ministry.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeThe moment Stefani realized her worth didn't come from quotas, bosses, or performanceHow reading the Bible cover-to-cover reshaped her life and workThe key perspective shift that makes sales less about “closing” and more about helpingWhy open-ended questions are the secret to better conversations (and better business)How Jesus modeled influence, storytelling, and bold invitationsPractical sales tips for introverts and entrepreneurs who'd rather “do the work” than pitchNotable Quotes“When we get our eyes on Scripture, everybody around us starts changing—even if our circumstances don't.” – Stefani Pady“Sales isn't about overcoming objections; it's about tuning into the right frequency with people.” – Stefani Pady“Leadership is influence—nothing more, nothing less. And to some degree, life is influence.” – Stefani Pady“When we walk in our calling because we've been with Jesus, even sales stops feeling salesy.” – Stefani PadyResources & Links MentionedConnect with Stefani: Women, Worship and Work | GLS Coaching and ConsultingJoin the Women, Worship and Work Bible Reading Plan: Sign Up HereExplore the Suited Membership: Learn MoreBook Mentioned: The Challenger Sale by Matthew Dixon & Brent AdamsonCONNECT WITH JAN:Here are all the best places and FREE stuff
