I’ve been incredibly inspired by today’s guest, her willingness to tackle tough topics, her enthusiasm for the enneagram and the way she encourages others by being her authentic self. A few months ago, she posted a stat in her instagram stories that only 22% of the thousands of podcasts out there are hosted by women. That post coupled with Blake’s example is part of what pushed me into taking action and launching It’s About Time.

So let me tell you about Blake Guichet. Blake is the host and voice of the Confessions of a Crappy Christian Podcast, wife to Jeremy, and mama to Pacey & Elliot. She spends her days on staff at a Baton Rouge, La. area church as a graphic designer. She’s wildly passionate about women owning who they are in Christ and all the ways He’s gifted them, and not falling prey to the lies the hustle culture is constantly feeding us. She is also an Enneagram enthusiast (type 8), and not surprisingly the enneagram does make its way into our conversation.

You’ll hear us chat about Blake’s recent transition from being her own Work From Home boss to starting a 40 hour a week 9-5 at a desk. She shares her favorite, must-have tools and apps for getting things done and we get into the importance of asking for help, plus how and when she makes time to read her bible.
