FAITH NEWS SERVICE – New release challenges overachievement culture and calls women in business back to Jesus-led success.
Gilbert, AZ— At a time when burnout, self-reliance, and pressure-driven ambition are quietly exhausting women of faith, Erin Harrigan offers a different path in “Redefining Hustle: Navigating Success with Jesus.”
A coach, speaker, podcaster, and former corporate leader, Harrigan writes to high-achieving Christian women who love Jesus but feel torn between their drive to succeed and their desire to live surrendered. Her message is both personal and practical: ambition isn’t the problem—but misaligned ambition is.
In today’s marketplace, overachievement is often praised as discipline and devotion. Yet many accomplished women privately wrestle with anxiety, identity confusion, and a lingering sense that success still isn’t enough. Drawing from her own turning point—when years of striving left her face down on the floor, overwhelmed—Erin invites readers to disentangle identity from accomplishment and rebuild their work rhythms around obedience, prayer, and trust.
Rather than rejecting ambition or baptizing hustle culture, she calls women to meet Jesus “in the middle,” where faith and business are no longer competing priorities but fully integrated.
Erin writes from a defining crossroads in her own life, when years of striving left her exhausted and confronted with a choice: continue pushing the boulder uphill in her own strength—chasing titles, income, and external markers of success—or finally surrender and allow Jesus to lead. Tired of carrying the weight alone, she chose surrender. That decision became the bedrock of the framework she now teaches, guiding women to harmonize faith, life, and business without falling into frantic striving on one side or passive retreat on the other.
Erin Harrigan’s paperback will be available on February 24, 2026; with the e-book free to download on Amazon for 5 days through February 28, 2026. Early readers are already sharing how much the story has touched them—here’s what a couple of reviewers have said:
