A mastermind for Christian authors and leaders who’ve been showing up faithfully — but need the strategy and accountability to gain traction, clarity, increase their income, and further their impact through their business.
In the Percolator, you get live business strategy, personalized feedback, and the accountability of a faith-driven community — all designed to help you move from stuck to steady growth.
Applications for the 2nd cohort of the Percolator open on September 29th, 2025. Join the waitlist below to get early access, a special discount, and exclusive bonuses.
You’re writing, teaching, leading — pouring yourself out for the people you feel called to serve.
But when it comes to your
business, you feel stuck.
You’re not lazy. You’re not unqualified. You’re just overwhelmed, under-supported, and completely out of clarity. I can help!
If you’re anything like the clients I work with:
You’ve got notebooks full of half-baked ideas, to-do lists that never end, and a heart that still beats for the work you think you were called to — but at this rate, you find yourself second-guessing everything.
What you do know is this:
You believe your work matters.
You know God’s called you to it.
And you're not ready to give up.
But you're also exhausted from carrying it all alone, and tired of chasing every trend, new idea, and working so hard yet seeing such little return.
You need a plan. You need support.
You need a safe place to think, dream, and grow — with people who understand.
That’s exactly what The Percolator is for.
This isn’t a course.
It’s not a mastermind full of jargon and pressure.
And it’s definitely not a hustle-harder productivity group.
The Percolator is a warm, strategic, high-accountability space for overwhelmed entrepreneurs to find clarity, build systems, and move forward with purpose.
We’ll walk through the ARISE Framework and use the Grounded Coursework as our roadmap — but every week, our calls and conversations are tailored to exactly where you (and the group) are at.
You’ll get real-time feedback. Personalized guidance.
And most importantly, you’ll stop building your business alone.

Inside the Percolator
4 Months of Support & Strategy
Weekly calls for the first 3 weeks of each month on Thursdays at 9:30 am PST. We rest on the 4th week, with an exclusive guest interview or bonus lesson on the private podcast feed to keep you inspired.
And if you decide you want to stay in the mastermind for longer, all Percolator clients get first dibs for the next round!
Community Group
Between sessions, we’ll connect and keep each other inspired in a robust private community with a dedicated “Ask Dusty” channel for real-time guidance and accountability.
Private Podcast
All sessions are recorded and added to a private feed so you can listen (and relisten!) on your own time. Plus on the 4th week each month, you’ll get a guest expert interview or a bonus mini-lesson to keep you motivated, inspired, and growing!
Guest Expert Interviews
You’ll hear from a variety of Christian entrepreneurs across different industries and seasons of life — because you don’t need more carbon copies, you need fresh perspectives grounded in truth.

Payment plans are absolutely available at no extra cost.
Exclusive Bonuses
Submit your application by October 10th to claim.
You don’t have to walk into The Percolator “all put together.” You can come messy. You can come behind. You can come with nothing but a pile of half-finished ideas and a whole lot of questions. This is a safe space to show up exactly as you are.
But wouldn’t it be even better if you had a little extra support — and some dedicated time to prepare — before you step into our first session?
That’s what these waitlist-only bonuses are for: to help ready your heart, your strategy, and your next season — so you can get the most out of your investment and faithful effort.
-
Think of this as your warm-up. Before the group calls even begin, you’ll get a 1:1 strategy session with me. We’ll talk through your goals, name your priorities, and carve out a clear starting point - so you don’t feel like you’re scrambling to catch up.
-
Available now for early-access at $197 (valued at $397) Grounded is my step-by-step strategic planning course that helps you create a kingdom-minded business plan built for your real life.
Inside The Percolator, we’ll use Grounded as our strategic roadmap —so you won’t just build a plan, you’ll have the support and accountability to refine it, and actually implement it with confidence.
(Already a student inside of Grounded? You’ll get 50% off your first month in the Percolator!)
After October 10th, the bonuses disappear.
After November 1st, applications close completely.
With only 5 spots available, waiting isn’t a safe bet.
So yes—come as you are. But with these bonuses, you’ll walk in with a little extra clarity, a stronger foundation, and a whole lot more confidence in where you’re headed.
Brenna | Percolator 2025“I was on the brink of burning out in my business before it even got off the ground, but Dusty's kingdom-first approach to business was exactly what I needed.
Not only did Dusty help me bring my priorities back in line, she helped me put words and actions behind so many thoughts that were just floating in my head. I am very thankful for Dusty's encouragement and guidance!.”
Meet Your Business Barista
AKA your consultant, Strategist, and mastermind hostI’m Dusty! I’ve spent over 8 years helping Christian coaches, authors, and creatives build businesses that are both profitable and peaceful. Along the way, I’ve worn nearly every hat—handmade shop owner, event coordinator, podcast host, non-profit marketing director (where I tripled donations during COVID), website designer, and course creator.
I know what it’s like to have a million good ideas, feel buried under the weight of them, and wonder if you’re just too inconsistent to make it work.
What finally changed everything for me wasn’t hustling harder—it was getting clear on my next step, creating systems that actually fit my life, and surrounding myself with community instead of carrying it all alone.
And I’ve seen it change things for my clients too: launching projects they’d been sitting on for years, raising their rates with confidence, and recovering joy in their work because they weren’t doing it in isolation anymore.
That’s why I created The Percolator. Because while strategy is powerful, strategy paired with group ideation, encouragement, and accountability? That’s transformational. You don’t just need another course or productivity hack—you need a safe, Gospel-centered space to think, process, and plan with people who get it.
My role is to guide, challenge, and support you—not with generic templates or hustle-harder advice, but with real strategy, honest accountability, and a whole lot of encouragement. Together, we’ll build a business that blesses your family, serves your people, and glorifies God
FROM UNSURE to
ENCOURAGED
“Dusty is thoughtful, caring, gentle yet assertive, fun, enthusiastic, and a built-in cheerleader. She has such a gift for answering client questions and concerns that makes the client feel supported.
I'm honored and privileged to have been able to work with Dusty on more than one occasion.”
CAROLINE J SUMLIN | AUTHOR
I know what it’s like to wonder if investing in your business is “worth it.” Especially when you’ve already tried so many things and still feel stuck.
That’s why I created The Percolator to be both accessible and deeply valuable. This isn’t just another program to add to your plate—it’s a 4-month rhythm of support, strategy, and accountability that actually lightens your load and helps you move forward with confidence.
This level of ongoing consulting and strategy would normally cost well over $4,000. I built The Percolator to offer that same level of value, but in a structure that’s more approachable—without sacrificing depth.

It’s hard to say. My gut says that if you aren’t feeling confident about your business foundations and excited to share your work - then yes. This program is absolutely for you.
That said, everyone is different. I suggest going through the 3 minute application process and we can get on a call together and figure out if it’s the best fit for you!
My entire goal is to see you thriving in your online business as you steward your various God-given callings - and that’s not gonna happen well if you waste your time on a program that isn’t meant for you. I promise to be honest with you on our call! My goal is to figure out what is best for YOU - not manipulate you into a sale.
-
Yes! Because this is a flexible framework and not an exact step-by-step plan, you’ll fit in wonderfully inside the Percolator!
I have lots of experience with e-commerce and handmade products, so you’re more than welcome here.
This isn’t a “quick fix.”
It’s a safe, strategic space to get unstuck, rediscover your focus, and finally feel like you’re building a business that blesses your family, glorifies God, and fits your real life.
