In this powerful episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, I sit down with fashion content creator Vanessa Moynihan, who shares her incredible testimony of coming to faith after growing up in a home where God was never discussed.
Vanessa skyrocketed to success as a fashion influencer, going viral and amassing a huge following on social media. Yet, despite the fame and opportunities, she felt an emptiness she couldn’t ignore. It wasn’t until she hired someone to help with her social media – who happened to be a strong believer – that she was introduced to Jesus in a life-changing way. In our conversation, Vanessa opens up about:
✨ How she navigated the tension between social media success and her newfound faith ✨ The moment she realized that no amount of influence could fill the void only God could ✨ Why being rooted in authentic community has been essential to her spiritual growth ✨ Practical tips on how to start—even when you feel like a failure or fear failing ✨ What it truly means to live for the audience of One rather than the approval of the world
If you’ve ever struggled with fear of failure, seeking validation from others, or feeling like you don’t know where to start in your faith journey, this episode is for you. Vanessa’s story is a beautiful reminder that no matter where you come from, God’s love can meet you exactly where you are.
