In this episode, I get real about how perfectionism almost stopped me from sharing my message with the world. We all know that voice in our heads telling us to wait until everything is perfect, but what if "perfect" is the enemy of "done"? Join me as I explore the power of embracing messy authenticity and using your voice, even when it's not polished. You'll hear my own story of overcoming self-consciousness and the surprising benefits of revisiting past recordings. It's time to hit publish on imperfect passion – let's do this!

49. What No One Tells You About Alignment: It Might Break You Before It Builds You | Week 12

Episode Summary:
In this final episode of our 12-week journey, I share one of the most personal and transformative stories of my life—the season when everything I thought I wanted fell apart, and I was invited into deeper trust. We talk about what alignment really looks like—not the polished version we imagine, but the raw, unfiltered surrender to God’s unfolding plan. I’ll share the lessons I’ve learned through loss, waiting, and rebuilding, and offer encouragement for anyone standing at the edge of uncertainty.

🌿 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

What alignment really looks like—and why it’s not about perfection
My personal journey of losing everything I thought I wanted and starting from ground zero
How God’s plans, though different from our own, are always rooted in love and purpose
Why trust grows strongest in the dark seasons of waiting and unknowing
The difference between giving up and giving over—and how surrender is an act of strength

Practical ways to cultivate trust in God’s unfolding plan for your life

💬 Reflection Prompts:

Where am I still clinging to control instead of surrendering to God’s plan?
What might God be preparing me for, even when I can’t see the full picture?

How can I practice daily trust and presence in the unfolding of my life?

🌿 This Episode Is for You If:

You’re navigating a season of uncertainty or loss
You feel disconnected from your sense of purpose or alignment
You’re craving peace and trust in God’s bigger story for your life
You need a reminder that grace meets you exactly where you are
