Manage episode 491649686 series 3598827
What if God never left—even when you did?
In this raw and redemptive episode, I sit down with Julie Chenell, co-founder of Funnel Gorgeous, to talk about the real story behind the funnels, the faith, and the fire.
We go far beyond business into the depths of postpartum depression, divorce, church trauma, spiritual deconstruction, and how God pursued Julie even when she walked away. From building a multi-million-dollar business in survival mode to rebuilding her spiritual foundation through logic, AI, and grace—this conversation is everything.
If you’ve ever wrestled with whether your story is still usable… you need this episode.
