You’ve probably seen the bright teal book cover or heard the catchy intro music to the podcast. For a solid decade, Christy Wright Business Boutique was the go-to brand for women who wanted to stop feeling guilty about making money. It wasn't just a "side hustle" thing. It was a movement.
But then, things got quiet.
If you go to the Ramsey Solutions website today, you’ll find a short, polite note. It basically says Christy is gone, the show has stopped, and the brand is effectively retired. For many fans who grew up listening to Christy’s "you can do this" pep talks, it felt like the end of an era. Honestly, it was.
The Rise of the Boutique
Christy Wright didn't just wake up one day and decide to be a business coach. She grew up in her mother’s bakery. She saw the grit. She saw the flour on the floor and the late-night cake decorating. That "front-row seat to entrepreneurship," as she often called it, became the heartbeat of Business Boutique.
When she joined Ramsey Solutions in 2009, she wasn't the "business girl" yet. She was a speaker. She was a personality. But Dave Ramsey saw a gap in the market. He had EntreLeadership for big business owners, but there wasn't anything specifically for the mom selling sourdough on Instagram or the photographer trying to figure out if she should charge $50 or $500.
Business Boutique launched as an event in 2015. It was a hit. It turned into a #1 national bestselling book in 2017, a podcast with millions of downloads, and a massive annual conference in Nashville.
The core philosophy was simple: Business doesn’t have to be complicated.
Christy had this way of explaining taxes and "scary" business stuff that made it feel like you were just chatting over coffee. She used a "four-tier" model—like a wedding cake—to explain how to build a company:
- The Foundation: Your "why" and your goals.
- The Product/Service: What are you actually doing?
- The Operations: The boring (but vital) stuff like legal and money.
- The Marketing: Telling the world you exist.
Why the Brand Suddenly Vanished
In early 2022, Christy Wright announced she was leaving Ramsey Solutions. It was a shocker. Usually, when a "Ramsey Personality" leaves, there’s a bit of a transition, but Christy’s departure felt final. She mentioned a "calling" to a new season, specifically focusing on ministry and her family.
Here is the thing most people don't realize about "Personalities" in a big corporate machine: they don't own the brand.
Christy Wright didn't own Business Boutique. Ramsey Solutions did.
When she left, the intellectual property stayed with the company. This is why you don't see new Business Boutique episodes or updated planners anymore. The brand was tied to her face and voice, and without her, the machine stopped. It’s a classic case of what happens when a personal brand and a corporate entity part ways.
What Christy Is Doing in 2026
So, where is she now? Christy didn't disappear. She just pivoted.
She spent time in seminary. She started a new podcast called Get Your Hopes Up. She moved to a lake house. Recently, she’s been incredibly open about the "messy middle"—that period where you aren't sure what's next.
By 2025 and 2026, her focus shifted toward:
- Ministry and Speaking: She’s leaning heavily into her faith-based roots.
- Coaching Speakers: She now runs workshops and masterclasses helping people find their voice on stage.
- Family Content: She’s been vocal about raising children with ADHD and the realities of "homeschooling life."
She’s basically living out the "Take Back Your Time" philosophy she wrote about in her last Ramsey-published book.

The Lasting Impact of the Business Boutique Era
Even though the podcast feed is dead and the events are over, the "Boutique" mindset changed how a lot of women view money. Before Christy, many women felt they had to apologize for being ambitious. She gave them permission to be "the boss" and "the mom" at the same time without the crushing weight of perfection.
She famously said, "You don't have to be the best to be the solution to someone's problem." That’s a powerful thought. You don't need a Harvard MBA to sell handmade jewelry or offer consulting services. You just need to be one step ahead of the person you're helping.
Actionable Takeaways for Your Business
If you’re still holding onto your copy of the Business Boutique book, here is how you can actually apply those lessons today without the "official" brand support:
- Audit Your "Why": If you've lost your fire, go back to the first tier of the cake. Why did you start this? If it was just for money, you'll burn out. If it was for freedom, are you actually free?
- Stop Over-Engineering: Christy’s best advice was always to "do it scared." If you're waiting for a perfect website to launch, you're already behind.
- The 30-Minute Rule: When she talked about time management, she suggested finding 30-minute pockets. You can build an empire in 30-minute increments if you're consistent.
- Price for Profit: Many "boutique" owners undercharge. If your business isn't making a profit, you don't have a business; you have an expensive hobby. Calculate your taxes and your "pay" before you set your final price.
The era of Christy Wright Business Boutique might be in the rearview mirror, but the community it built is still out there. Thousands of women are still running businesses they started because of a talk they heard in a Nashville auditorium back in 2018.
The brand is gone. The impact isn't.
If you are looking to start something new today, don't wait for a new podcast episode to drop. Use the foundations already laid. Build the cake. Sell the product. Don't apologize for it.
For those still following Christy's journey, her new ventures in public speaking coaching and ministry offer a different kind of "business" advice—one that focuses more on the soul of the creator than just the bottom line of the company. It’s a natural evolution for someone who spent a decade telling women they were "made for this."
Next Steps for Your Journey
