In this episode, Courtney and Missie give life updates and answer these questions from listeners:

— How do you deal with male co-workers presenting your ideas as their own or as new insights they've come up with?
— Outside of treating people with kindness, what practical ways do you suggest bringing your faith into your workplace if you do not work for a Christian company? 
— As a mother who recognizes her first priority is to the family given to her by the Lord, how do you keep in check the balance of raising kids, but also pursuing the passions the Lord has given you?
— What is the Lord revealing to both of you through His Word?
— What are key practical steps that high-capacity women must take to increase their margin?
