Episode Description

<p>In this special episode of <em>Blessed + Bossed Up</em>, I’m sharing an episode from one of my favorite shows — the <em>Prescription for Purpose Podcast</em> hosted by my friend, Dr. Sharla Walker. This message, <em>Is It Ambition or Anxiety That’s Driving You?</em>, fits perfectly with our Internal Harmony series and will challenge you to evaluate the true motivation behind your hustle.</p><p>Dr. Sharla breaks down the difference between holy ambition — God-given zeal rooted in peace, identity, and purpose — versus anxious ambition fueled by pressure, fear, and the need to prove yourself. Using biblical examples like Saul, Martha, and Nehemiah, she unpacks how to discern your drive, pace yourself with God, and protect your assignment from distraction.</p><p>Whether you’re in business, ministry, or simply navigating life, this episode will give you practical tools to align your ambition with God’s will — so you’re moving in purpose, not just in motion.</p><p><strong>Tune in now and make sure you subscribe to <em>The Prescription for Purpose Podcast</em></strong> so you never miss an episode that will keep you rooted in faith, focused on purpose, and equipped to thrive in every area of life.</p><br/><br/>Our Sponsors:<br/>* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.com<br/>* Check out Bobbie: https://www.hibobbie.com<br/>* Check out IXL and use my code TODAY for a great deal: https://www.ixl.com<br/>* Check out Marley Spoon: https://marleyspoon.com/offer/BLESSED<br/>* Check out NerdWallet: https://nerdwallet.com/blessed<br/>* Check out Trust & Will and use my code trustandwill.com /BLESSED for a great deal: https://trustandwill.com<br/><br/><br/>Support this podcast at — <a rel='payment' href='https://redcircle.com/blessed-bossed-up7264/donations'>https://redcircle.com/blessed-bossed-up7264/donations</a><br/><br/>Advertising Inquiries: <a href='https://redcircle.com/brands'>https://redcircle.com/brands</a><br/><br/>Privacy & Opt-Out: <a href='https://redcircle.com/privacy'>https://redcircle.com/privacy</a>
