Grow a Business Without Losing Your Soul (or Family)
Jul 30, 2025
What if emotional health is the missing piece in your business breakthrough?
Let’s face it - building something that matters can take a toll. You start out with passion, purpose, and a clear sense of God’s calling… but somewhere along the way, the pressure creeps in. The joy fades. Relationships get strained. And before you know it, you’re running on fumes, pretending everything’s fine.
Sound familiar?
In this week’s Heaven in Business podcast, Andy is joined by two close friends—Dave Charlson and Blair Reynolds, who are confronting this head-on. These guys have decades of experience in both business and coaching, and they’ve just launched a movement: Entrepreneur Emotional Health.
Their mission? Grow your business without sacrificing your family or yourself.
The Real Problem Behind Burnout
We’ve all seen it - leaders who were once thriving now disqualified, divorced, or completely burnt out. Dave and Blair say it boils down to two things:
1. Neglect: of our internal world and most important relationships
2. Hiding: behind performance, success, or spiritual language
And here’s the kicker: we often don’t realize it until it’s too late. Emotional overwhelm, disconnection at home, and joyless workdays are all signals something deeper is off.
The Root: Identity, Not Just Strategy
This isn’t about another productivity hack or morning routine. The root of lasting health is rediscovering your authentic self - who God created you to be, apart from performance or people-pleasing.
Blair said it best: “God can only partner with who you actually are, not who you’re pretending to be.”
Dave and Blair walk leaders through a process that’s part inner healing, part business coaching, and completely anchored in Kingdom truth. It’s safe, practical, and deeply transformative.
What Does Change Actually Look Like?
From reconciled relationships to career alignment to fresh joy in your calling, the stories speak for themselves. One of the most moving examples: a high-level music producer who rediscovered joy and spiritual connection before passing unexpectedly. His legacy now includes not only awards, but a reconciled life and restored heart.
Another client reconnected with a daughter after nearly two decades of silence... just three days after a powerful session on self-forgiveness.
This stuff is real. And it works.
Your Next Step
If any of this resonates with you—don’t wait until burnout hits. Here’s how you can take a step toward wholeness today:
1. Get Honest with Yourself
What symptoms are showing up in your life right now? Exhaustion? Emotional distance? Lack of joy? Recognize them for what they are: invitations to deeper health.
2. Ask for Help
You’re not meant to do this alone. Whether it’s a coach, a therapist, or a trusted friend, ask someone who will tell you the truth and walk with you toward wholeness.
3. Explore Entrepreneur Emotional Health
Dave and Blair have created a course and mastermind specifically for people like you - Kingdom-minded entrepreneurs who want to thrive in business and life.
