The Joy You’ve Been Missing Starts with the Holy Spirit

If you're tired of "just doing your best" and still coming up empty — this episode is for you.

Tatum opens up about how her passion for business, once ignited by God, slowly became routine… heavy… even burdensome. Sound familiar? Whether it’s your faith, your work, or your purpose — if you've ever wondered why the fire doesn’t feel the same anymore, this episode will meet you where you are.

This week kicks off our new Blessed + Bossed Up Book Club series on The Spirit-Filled Life by Dr. Charles Stanley, a deeply personal and theologically grounded guide to rediscovering the joy, peace, and power that comes from truly living led by the Holy Spirit.

Through honest reflection and raw storytelling, Tatum explores what it means to surrender again — not just your business goals, but your heart, your weariness, your routine, your emotions — all of it. She shares how the Holy Spirit met her right where she was, not in perfection, but in her honesty.

This episode is a permission slip to stop striving and start abiding.
