Hi Friend! This one is raw. Honest. Not polished or neatly wrapped up.

In this episode of Joy for the Journey, I share where I’ve really been since the Renewal Retreat. How God showed up in a mighty way for those 30 women, and then quietly sat me down right after.
How I went from pouring into others to feeling stuck. Tired. Disconnected.
How I realized I was performing more than I was actually being in His presence.

I talk about:

  • What happened after the retreat that no one saw
  • Why exhaustion had me praying less and carrying more
  • How being an only child shaped my deep need to hold on to people
  • What God revealed to me in my own Selah, the holy pause I didn’t plan, but desperately needed

This lines up perfectly with what we’ve been walking through in week one of my “Made for More” email journey, the part of purpose we don’t often talk about. The slow, quiet, tender work that happens when you haven’t moved… but you’re still called.

If this resonates, subscribe to my daily emails so we can keep doing this together. We’re in it for all 31 days...real, unfiltered, with God at the center.
