That theme? 

Vision.

Not goal setting.

Not productivity.

But true, clear vision—the kind that changes how you show up in your life, your family, and your work.

And the most humbling part? 

I’ve realized I’ve been helping others clarify their vision while neglecting my own.

 

Spiritually: Without Vision, We Drift

Let’s start with the foundation—my spiritual life.

Scripture says, “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” (Proverbs 29:18-19)

And when you really think about that, it’s not just poetic—it’s deeply practical.

I see it in the story of the Israelites. 

They were promised a destination, a purpose. But without a clear and grounded vision, they wandered. 

They defaulted to what was fast and easy. 

They lost their grip on hope because they lost sight of the why behind their journey.

That same pattern can show up in my day-to-day when I don’t have spiritual vision.

When I’m not grounded in who God says I am or where He’s leading me, I start coasting.

Checking boxes.

Feeding kids, answering emails, doing the work… but not thriving.

When I do have spiritual vision, everything changes. 

My days have purpose, not just pressure. 

I feel anchored instead of anxious. 

And that’s the kind of clarity I’m being called back to right now!

 

Personally: Vision in Parenting Starts with Honesty

Now let’s talk about vision in parenting—and this part hit me hard.

Michael’s been doing some 1-on-1 coaching and recently shared how he’s been working through vision in his own life. 

It sparked something in me. I started thinking about what vision looks like in my role as a mom—not just the everyday tasks, but the future relationship I want with my kids.

I can clearly picture the kind of relationship I want with Evy when she’s 30. 

I can imagine our conversations, our shared memories, the connection we’ll have. 

Maybe it’s because I have that kind of relationship with my own mom now.

But when I tried to imagine my relationship with the boys in 20 years?

I came up blank.

And that stopped me in my tracks.

Why is it harder to cast vision for them? 

After a lot of reflection, I realized it’s because that vision would require me to confront some hard truths about who I am right now—as a wife, as a mom, and as an example of the kind of woman I want my boys to look for one day.

How do I speak about their dad?

How do I show respect in front of them?

How often do I affirm him, honor him, build him up?

I know I’m not doing those things consistently—and that disconnect is making it harder to see a clear future because it means admitting what needs to change in the present.

 

Professionally: Why Business Vision Feels So Elusive

Now, let’s talk business vision—especially for entrepreneurs like the ones inside my KJ Business Builders community.

So many of us have goals:

• Grow Instagram.
• Hit revenue milestones.
• Book dream clients.

But ask a business owner, “What’s your 5-year vision?” and the conversation usually changes.

Because vision forces us to go deeper.

Vision asks questions like:

• “What impact do I want to make in the world?”
•  “Who do I want to become through my business?”
•  “How will this shape my family and my future?”

And it’s hard to answer those questions if we haven’t done the heart work first.

Just like I’ve been avoiding vision in my parenting because it makes me confront hard truths, many business owners avoid casting vision because deep down… they’re not sure they believe in themselves yet.

 

You can’t dream about massive impact if you’re still questioning
if your gift is even real.

You can’t picture sustainable income
if you’re unsure if your business is legit.

 

But vision is powerful because it calls us forward! 

It gives us direction. It shines a light on the path ahead and pulls us out of survival mode.

 

Why Am I Telling You This?

Because when a single theme—like vision—starts showing up in every corner of your life, you pay attention!!

That’s not a coincidence. That’s God doing something!

Vision is what connects where we are to where we’re going.

It grounds our faith.

It reshapes our families.

It gives purpose to our work.

And when we’re brave enough to stop avoiding it—when we finally sit down and say, “Okay, what do I really want to build here?”—we start living with intention.

I hope this week’s Where I Am update encourages you to ask the same questions.

• What’s your vision spiritually?
• What does it look like personally?
• And professionally, what future are you heading toward—and do you like where that path leads?

Let this be your nudge to pause and ask, Where am I?

And maybe even more importantly, Where am I going?
