What happens when life throws you a curveball that completely shifts your path? Do you fight it, or do you surrender to the unknown and trust where you’re being led?
In this episode of The Side-HustlHER Podcast, I sat down with Soraya, a content creator, and NICU mom who turned one of the most challenging seasons of her life into her biggest breakthrough. From being laid off from her six-figure job to navigating an unexpected pregnancy and the heartbreaking loss of her son, Soraya shares how faith, surrender, and obedience helped her step into a purpose she never saw coming.
We get real about:
- How losing her job pushed her to fully pursue content creation
- Why pivoting in your brand and purpose is not failure—it's alignment
- The role of faith in navigating seasons of uncertainty
- How Soraya built a thriving online community after surrendering her own plans
- Why showing up as your real self will always open the right doors
This episode is a must-listen for any woman feeling lost, unsure, or stuck in transition. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to trust God’s timing, this is it.
