Have you ever felt like God was asking you to jump into the unknown?
In this episode of The BraveHearted Woman Podcast, I sit down with my inspiring guest, Peg Arnold — speaker, author, and “drama queen for Jesus” — to talk about navigating major life transitions, especially in midlife.
Peg shares her deeply personal story of leaving behind a lifetime of familiarity to follow God's unexpected call. Her honesty, wisdom, and faith will speak straight to your heart.
So, if you're feeling stuck, fearful, or unsure about your next chapter, this conversation is for you. You’ll discover how to anchor your faith when everything feels uncertain, how to stop fighting change, and how God is always preparing something greater — even when you can’t see it yet.
Remember, midlife doesn’t mean it’s too late. It means it's time to be brave.
