Treading Is Not Transformation

Season 1 | Episode 20

Welcome to 2026.

We’re not floating into this year.

We’re fighting for what matters.

In the first episode of the year, Jen delivers a wake-up call to every entrepreneur, creative, and leader who’s been feeling stuck in survival mode… doing “just enough” to stay afloat, but nowhere near what it takes to transform.

This episode is a bold reminder that treading might keep you alive… but it won’t move you forward.

🔥 Inside This Episode:

  • Why treading water keeps you stuck in spiritual and strategic stagnation
  • What Revelation teaches us about lukewarm leadership
  • The 3 key questions to ask if you’re ready for real momentum this year
  • How to shift from survival to strategy with faith + fire
  • Jen’s challenge to decide what you’re fighting for in 2026 — and go all in
