For Stefanie Gass, the most transformative move in her business wasn’t a marketing tactic or a flashy pivot. It was the decision to quit hustling and hand her business over to God.
Before she became a top-ranked podcast coach and the founder of Stefanie Gass LLC, Stefanie was deep in the world’s version of success.
As a top earner in network marketing, she was constantly working overtime, glued to her phone, and sacrificing time with her young sons. Outwardly, she had the appearance of a thriving entrepreneur. Inwardly, she was burned out, anxious, and spiritually dry.
The breaking point came when her network marketing income crumbled.
With tears in her eyes, Stefanie looked at her husband and admitted, “I can’t pay the bills this month.” They ended up pulling money from their children’s savings accounts — a low point that became a turning point.
“I heard a whisper in my spirit: This isn’t it,” Stefanie recalls. That moment became the catalyst for her most powerful move to date: walking away from hustle culture and surrendering her business to God.
This wasn’t a simple shift. Stefanie stepped away from her top rank, shut down the grind, deleted social media for 30 days, and entered a time of deep prayer, journaling, and listening. She asked God directly: What do You want me to do with my life?
As clarity unfolded, Stefanie felt a new calling rise to the surface — to help ambitious, faith-led women build online businesses that aligned with their purpose, without sacrificing peace or family in the process. She didn’t have a detailed plan, just a belief that obedience would lead to provision.
She got to work.
First, Stefanie established a clear niche: Christian women entrepreneurs. She built her business around podcasting as a central marketing strategy — a decision that gave her a distinct voice in a crowded space.
Second, she embraced an organic growth model. Stefanie launched the Online Business for Christian Women podcast and committed to showing up consistently with high-value, service-based content. No paid ads. No pressure tactics. Just intentional SEO, evergreen systems, and faith.
Finally, she created and refined her signature program, Podcast to Profit — a high-touch coaching experience that equips women to grow and monetize their podcasts with simplicity and sustainability. Instead of juggling multiple products, Stefanie focused on doing one thing extremely well.
That decision paid off. Since stepping out in faith, Stefanie has built a 7-figure business, reached millions of women through her podcast, and coached thousands of clients — all while working just 20–25 hours per week. Her systems are simple, her team is lean, and her peace is undeniable.
But the greatest impact wasn’t financial.
“The real boss move wasn’t a funnel or a strategy,” Stefanie shares. “It was choosing alignment over ambition. It was letting God be the CEO.”
That shift changed everything: her identity, her values, and her definition of success. Today, Stefanie continues to lead a thriving business that champions obedience over hustle and reminds women that kingdom success is possible — when you stop striving and start surrendering.
“At the end of the day,” she says, “being a true boss isn’t about hustle. It’s about obedience.”
