EP 17: The Pause that's preparing you

Episode Notes

There’s a shift happening in me—and maybe in you too. A divine nudge to slow down, pull back, and let go of the checklist I’ve clung to for most of my life.

In this episode, I’m sharing what it feels like to sit in the in-between: the space where desire is loud, but God’s instruction is “rest.” Where everything in me wants answers, timelines, and action—but God keeps inviting me into stillness and trust.

I’ll talk about:

The emotional tug of letting go of a life plan that wasn’t mine

How I’m learning to trust that pulling back isn’t punishment—it’s positioning

The grief, frustration, and peace that coexist in the pause

Why your checklist might be keeping you from your clarity

This episode is a permission slip—for the woman who’s tired of striving, who’s ready to hear from God again, and who’s brave enough to believe that waiting well is still movement.

You’re not stuck.
You’re not late.
You’re being prepared.
