Women In Business: Fear, Faith, and Building a Business You Love

In this inspiring episode ofConversations with Carroll, I sat down with two incredible women—Jaclyn Patterson and Elisa Lynch—to talk about what it really means to take the leap into entrepreneurship. Elisa, a biohope coach, shared her powerful story of survival and transformation after a life-changing boating accident, which led her to dedicate her life to holistic healing. Her journey reminded us that true success begins with service—using our gifts and experiences to help others heal, grow, and rediscover hope.

Jaclyn, a personal wardrobe stylist and advocate forslow fashion, spoke about the power of intentionality—both in business and in life. With over a decade of experience helping clients find confidence through personal style, she highlighted how being mindful about what we wear can elevate not just our appearance but our energy and purpose. Jaclyn’s approach to “asking why before you buy” encourages us to live and create more consciously, a theme that beautifully echoed Elisa’s holistic philosophy.

Together, we explored the courage it takes to“do it scared”—to follow a calling even when fear tries to hold you back. Both women shared their strategies for managing risk, building momentum, and staying grounded in faith and gratitude. From embracing fear as part of the process to trusting that every step—no matter how small—moves us closer to our purpose, this conversation was a masterclass in heart-centered entrepreneurship. As Elisa reminded us, “Start every day with gratitude,” and as Jaclyn added, “Don’t sleep on accessories”—sometimes the smallest touches, inside and out, can transform everything.
