About this listen

Are you a faith-driven Visionary CEO, ministry or Non-profit leader ready to create lasting impact and scale your mission —without burnout or hustle?


We're here to help you Scale your Mission, Grow your Team, & Thrive in your Life's Work.. and most importantly, glorify the Lord in it all.


At Apostolic Fruit, we help Christ-led women business owners build thriving, scalable, relationship-centered, people-first businesses by bringing the sustainable structure, strategy, and systems they are missing.


We challenge the prevailing business, ministry, and leadership paradigms that are rooted in the tyranny of urgency, hustle culture, and striving.


As right-hand strategic partners, we help business owners reduce their mental load, get out of reaction mode, and break their big vision into actionable, aligned next steps.


You can depend on us to integrate proven frameworks, systems, and structure into the heart of your work (and your messy behind-the-scenes!) so you can:


✅ Scale your business or ministry rooted in peace, clarity, and alignment with God’s will

✅ Reduce burnout, decision fatigue, and overload so you can focus on what you do best

✅ Bring out the best in your team with servant leadership and strategic support

✅ Create more time, energy, and breathing room in your business and life

✅ Apply holistic, trauma-informed business growth strategies that honor both your mission and your well-being

  • 20 | Burned or Disappointed by other Business Coaching Investments? How to Heal, Discern, & Trust Again
    Jul 3 2025

    Have you been let down by a coach, program, or investment that promised transformation, but disappointed or left you carrying the weight alone?

    Maybe you walked away with less money, more shame, or a hardened heart toward support. Maybe you’re afraid to trust again, even if something new feels aligned.

    The fear is real—and so is the ache for support that truly honors you. You're not broken for feeling cautious. You're wise for wanting something different this time.

    In this episode, we open up a space for truth, healing, and discernment. You’ll hear:
    🌿 Why your hesitation around investing again is deeply valid
    🌿 The hidden cost of “doing it all alone” (and how to name it)
    🌿 What to look for in coaching support that actually honors your pace, process, and discernment
    🌿 The kinds of questions to ask before saying yes to a new investment
    🌿 How to rebuild trust in yourself, and in the possibility of being supported differently

    If you’ve been burned before and are wondering how to move forward, this episode will remind you: the problem wasn’t you, and the story’s not over.

    If you’re craving real, relational, wise support—but still feel the sting of past investments—this is your invitation to slow down, breathe, and discern.

    You deserve to be led in a way that builds trust, not breaks it.

    We invite you to connect with Anna whenever you’re ready❤️

  • 19 | Stopgap Strategy: What to Do When you Need Relief Now
    Jun 26 2025

    If you’re maxed out, barely keeping up, and desperate for relief—but don’t have the space to overhaul everything—this episode is your lifeline. We're walking you through a simple, strategic way to stabilize the now while planting seeds for long-term sustainability.

    Maybe slowing down feels risky. Maybe you know you need help, but don’t even have the capacity to figure out what kind. You’re not failing. You’re in a pivotal growth point. And what you need isn’t more pressure—it’s a stopgap strategy.

    In this episode, we’ll show you how to create breathing room now, without sacrificing momentum or clarity.

    You’ll hear:
    ✔️ What a stopgap strategy is (and when to use one)
    ✔️ How to stabilize the essentials so you can stay upright and sane
    ✔️ What to simplify, delay, delegate, or let go of—without guilt
    ✔️ How to zoom out and use your CEO time for future sustainability
    ✔️ A practical two-phase plan to shift from reaction mode to intentional leadership

    If you’re overwhelmed but still dreaming of sustainable growth, this episode will help you triage wisely, create space, and begin building forward with more peace and less panic.

    You don’t have to do this alone. If you’re feeling the weight of too much and don’t know where to begin, we’re here to help. Subscribe, leave a review, and reach out if you're ready for a supportive partnership to help you create relief now and capacity for what’s next.

  • 18 | When Everything Feels Urgent: How to Prioritize When You’re Spread Thin
    Jun 19 2025

    When everything feels urgent, how do you actually decide what matters most? In this episode, we walk you through a practical and grace-filled approach to prioritizing wisely, especially when you're maxed out and running on fumes.

    This episode offers both mindset shifts and a clear prioritization framework to help you lead with clarity instead of chaos.

    You’ll learn:
    🌿 Why urgency ≠ importance (and how to spot the difference)
    🌿 How your nervous system reacts under constant pressure—and how to slow the swirl
    🌿 A 3-part framework for making clear decisions when everything feels equally important
    🌿 How to identify time sensitivity, energy leaks, and strategic impact
    🌿 Practical tools like “daily top 3s,” an ideas parking lot, and weekly CEO rhythms to help you break free from reactive mode and build breathing room into your business.

    Whether you're navigating a packed season or trying to create more sustainability long-term, this episode helps you slow down, zoom out, and take your next step with intention.

    If you're craving more structure, clarity, and sustainability in your leadership rhythms, we’d love to walk with you. Reach out if you’re ready to build a business that works with your capacity, not against it.
