Description

Have you ever felt that nudge inside—that stirring that says, “It’s time to move again”—but you’re terrified of starting because you might stop again? That’s exactly where I’ve been.

In this first episode back, I share why I stepped away from coaching, podcasting, and creating for the first time in over 8 years—and why stopping wasn’t failure at all, but actually an act of faith.

We’ll talk about:

  • The messy middle of the in-between seasons of life

  • Why stopping can feel like failure, but is sometimes the most faithful thing you can do

  • The rhythm of inhale and exhale—pulling back to be filled and then stepping out to give again

  • How loneliness, the noise of the world, and even anger can actually be invitations to draw closer to Christ

  • Why God can’t move a parked car—and why I’m finally choosing to move again

This isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about taking the smallest step, trusting that God will guide the rest, and letting your exhale carry love into the world.

👉 Whether you’re in an inhale, an exhale, or that sacred pause in between—this episode is for you.
