From Doubt to Dressing Line: Lizzie's Leap of Faith
No investors. No perfect English. Just a notebook, a deep faith, and a flavor-packed wing recipe. This is how Lizzie Balthazar Soria started building her dream from the kitchen table – one leap of faith at a time.
What if the best thing you ever did… started with a notebook in your kitchen and a quiet whisper from God?
That’s how Lizzie Balthazar Soria launched her first business – a food truck called Lizzie’s Spices of Life – even though English wasn’t her first language and fear was a constant companion. From slow nights and language barriers to juggling multiple jobs and walking away from steady paychecks, Lizzie’s story is a masterclass in purpose over profit and obedience over certainty.
Now, she's added a salad dressing line, stepped into financial services, and even rented her truck to help other women build their dreams. If you've ever felt like you weren’t “ready” – not good enough, fluent enough, fancy-school enough – this episode will wrap you up like a warm plate of Lizzie’s wings and remind you: God doesn’t call the qualified. He qualifies the called.
“It wasn’t about the money – it was about the purpose.”
