Ever stepped into a new year full of joy, expectancy, and “this is my season” expectations, only to be hit by real life? In this Soul Care episode, Ivory opens up about her own unexpected health flare, the emotional shift from birthday excitement to limitation, and the tender ways God met her in the middle of it all.

This episode is for anyone who started January strong but quickly met disappointment, delays, exhaustion, or the feeling of “this is not what I prayed for.” You’ll learn how to remain rooted, hopeful, and spiritually anchored even when your circumstances feel tight.

Verse of the Year: Psalm 147:5 (NIV)

“Great is the Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit.”

When expectations shake, this truth stands firm: God is steady, strong, and limitless, even when we feel anything but.

The Four Soul-Shifting Questions

Ivory shares four questions she brings before God when life feels heavy or uncertain. They help you slow down, get honest, and let God lead.

1. Lord, what do You want me to know?
2. Lord, what do You want me to notice?
3. What do I need to let You do, Lord?
4. Lord, what do I need to do?

Practical Reflection

This episode guides you through:

1. Lamenting honestly without getting stuck
2. Noticing tendencies like comfort eating, striving, withdrawing, or overworking
3. Adjusting expectations without losing hope
4. Remembering who you are in Christ even when life feels shaky
5. Seeing how God fills the gaps when things feel limited

The LIMITLESS Acrostic

A framework to help you navigate both the highs and lows of the year:

L – Look for God’s presence, not just His outcomes

I – Invite Him into your limitations

M – Make space for rest and reflection

I – Identify patterns without shame

T – Trust His timing, even when it’s hard

L – Let the lesson shape you

E – Extend grace to yourself

S – Stay rooted in truth

S – Speak life over your process

Soul Care Takeaway

Limitless does not mean painless. It does not mean every January will look perfect.

It means that nothing can limit God’s power, care, or guidance over your life.

You are held, supported, and carried. And even in the “not yet,” God is shaping something beautiful in you.

Step into a fresh beginning with this powerful Soul Reset inspired by Isaiah 60:1 (TPT). In this guided reflection, Ivory invites you to breathe deeply, quiet the noise, and let God’s light meet the very places that feel heavy, unclear, or hidden. If you’ve been striving, bracing, or trying to manufacture strength on your own, this episode will help you release the burden and rise in God’s splendor—not your own.

Through intentional breathwork, Scripture meditation, and Spirit-led journaling prompts, you’ll explore:

1. What it actually means to rise up in splendor
2. How God’s light brings illumination, revelation, and clarity
3. Where you may be striving in your own strength instead of receiving
4. How the Holy Spirit leads you beyond limitations, old narratives, and wounds
5. What it looks like to radiate God’s glory as you step into a new year

You’ll discover that radiance isn’t effort—it’s overflow. And the same glory of Yahweh that Scripture speaks of? It’s not around you. It’s not near you. It streams from within you.

Whether you’re entering 2026 with hope, uncertainty, or a mix of both, this Soul Reset offers space to reconnect with God’s presence, release what’s been heavy, and breathe in His truth.

This episode is perfect for anyone seeking:

1. Spiritual grounding
2. Emotional reset
3. Christian reflection
4. Faith-based meditation
5. Healing from overwhelm
6. A fresh encounter with God’s presence
7. A peaceful moment to recalibrate your soul

Take a few minutes to pause. Breathe. Let the light in.

The dawn is coming, beloved one — and His glory is not withheld. It streams from you.

As we step into a new year, I’m inviting you to pause—not to rush into resolutions, but to reflect on what God has already done. Because reflection builds faith, and faith prepares us for what’s next.

In this episode, I share how my word for 2025—Yield—reshaped everything. From starting this podcast before I felt ready, to saying yes in the face of fear, to watching God birth the Radiate Soul Care Program in the most unexpected way.

We talk about what yielding really means, why it’s not weakness, and how God forms us like clay in the Potter’s hands. I also share powerful testimonies from women whose lives were transformed through soul care, a Spirit-led definition of what soul care truly is, and how God confronted my relationship with my body—inviting me to let Him build the house.

As I step into 2026 with a new word—Limitless—I invite you to ask:

If God is limitless… where have I been living small?

This episode is an invitation to abide, obey, and trust the God who does exceedingly more than we could ask or imagine.
