Why does it feel like your path is slower, messier, or more uncertain than everyone else’s? In this episode — the season two finale — I’m getting honest about what it really looks like to take the road less traveled. Whether you’re pursuing a creative calling, building something unconventional, or just don’t see your life following a “normal” timeline… this one’s for you.

We’re talking about purpose, comparison, self-doubt, and that lingering feeling of being “behind.” I also share how The Alchemist and Matthew 7 helped me realize that the road you’re on may be harder simply because it’s different — but that doesn’t mean it’s wrong. It might just mean you’re forging your own way.

So if you’ve been second-guessing your path, this is your reminder: you’re not lost — you’re just creating something no one’s done before.

Are you exhausted trying to force your life into the vision you had in mind? In this episode, we talk about the chaos we create when we try to take matters into our own hands. I’m sharing my own struggle with wanting the “happy ending” now—and how faith is teaching me to trust the story God is still writing.

This is for the woman who’s exhausted from striving, who’s tempted to take control, and who needs the reminder that she doesn’t have to have it all figured out. If you’re learning to trust God’s timing, surrender the script, and grow through the messy middle—this one’s for you.
