Feeling lost in the chaos of balancing entrepreneurship, homeschooling, and family life?

You're not alone.

Many women entrepreneurs find themselves overwhelmed, trying to navigate what feels like a bewildering jungle of competing priorities—keeping their faith strong, their families nurtured, and their finances stable.

In this special episode from the Wholehearted Abundance Summit, Crystal Obey delivers a powerful message that will transform how you approach the beautiful complexity of being a woman entrepreneur who homeschools.

Crystal Obey, founder of Homeschool Money and veteran homeschooling mother of five, shares her hard-won wisdom from 23 years of marriage, 13 years of homeschooling, and building a successful direct-response marketing business alongside her husband Anthony.

Through her own journey—including nine pregnancies to reach their family of five, four miscarriages, and two near-death experiences—Crystal has learned what it truly means to walk in grace while managing the demands of faith, family, and finances.

In This Episode, You'll Discover...

The Jungle Reality Check:

  • How to identify what your personal "jungle" really looks like
  • The three ways life gets chaotic: camping, wandering, or crashing
  • Why clarity about your priorities is essential for entrepreneurship survival

5 Key Takeaways Crystal Promises:

  1. Accept the call in your life without guilt or overwhelm
  2. Increase your capacity for impact in all three areas
  3. Accelerate progress on your most important goals
  4. Discover resources and provisions to accomplish what God's called you to do
  5. Prevent burnout during times of transition or crisis

The Three Critical Questions Every Woman Entrepreneur Must Answer:

  1. What is your jungle? - Getting brutally honest about what's actually on your plate
  2. How did you get here? - Understanding whether you camped, wandered, or crashed into overwhelm
  3. What are your survival priorities? - Identifying the ONE essential thing in faith, family, and finances

Real Dangers Women Entrepreneurs Face:

  • Faith Threats: Drifting from God, worldly influences, identity crisis, isolation from Christian community
  • Family Risks: Neglecting relationships, role confusion, burnout and stress, lack of boundaries
  • Financial Hazards: Income instability, debt and overinvestment, underpricing services, legal and tax issues

Proven Solutions for Each Area:

Crystal provides specific, actionable strategies for protecting your faith (including daily non-negotiables), nurturing your family (including the power of weekly Sabbath), and stabilizing your finances (from emergency funds to confident pricing).

The Grace Factor:

Discover what it means to move through entrepreneurship and homeschooling with "ease and suppleness of movement"—experiencing divine assistance rather than grinding through each day in frustration and struggle.

Powerful Insights from This Episode:

"You were not built to carry all this weight alone. You'll only start to thrive when you acknowledge the great tasks you have received from God himself."

"The only true advice I can give you is to lean on the Lord. Ask yourself: Is this a moment I need to trust the Lord, or is this a moment where I need to be obedient?"

"God's grace is sufficient for the vision that he's given you."

  • You're a woman entrepreneur feeling overwhelmed by competing priorities
  • You're homeschooling while building a business and struggling with guilt
  • You want to strengthen your faith without sacrificing business growth
