On Purpose Christian Coaching for Women

12 - Permission to Pivot: Trusting God When It’s Time to Release and Step Into the New


Listen Later

📌 Description:

Have you ever felt like the role you once prayed for and loved… just doesn’t fit anymore? Instead of joy, you feel restless. Instead of peace, you feel heavy. You wonder if you’re failing—or if God is simply calling you to pivot.

In this freeing episode of On Purpose: Christian Coaching for Women, Jamie unpacks the biblical truth that there are seasons for everything (Ecclesiastes 3:1) and shares why releasing roles is not failure—it’s faithfulness. You’ll learn how to recognize when God is doing a new thing (Isaiah 43:19), understand the psychology of “identity grief,” and find courage to trust Him in the in-between.

If you’ve been afraid to let go of what no longer fits, this episode is your permission to pivot.

🎧 In This Episode:

  • Why God calls us into new seasons—and why that can feel scary
  • The deeper meaning behind “Do you not perceive it?” in Isaiah 43:19
  • How identity grief shows up when roles change (and why it’s normal)
  • Jamie’s personal story of pivots—from teaching, to Army civilian, to coaching
  • The truth about fear, lies from the enemy, and freedom in surrender
  • Encouragement for your own pivot: You are not failing. You are following.
  • 💬 Favorite Quote:

    “You don’t need anyone else’s permission to pivot. If God is redirecting you, that is the permission.”
