What are you doing with your life? (The answer is simpler than you think.)

Sterling's 15 and 12-year-old came to her in genuine distress. They didn't know if they were going to be nuns or moms, and their brains were convinced that figuring out the future was the key to feeling settled today.

Sound familiar?

In this episode, Sterling shares the conversation she had with her girls — and what she told them that changed everything. Spoiler: knowing your vocation doesn't fix the uncertainty of being human. Being married doesn't fix it. Having six kids doesn't fix it.

But there is one thing that does.

You'll learn:

• Why obsessing over the future is actually a trick that keeps you from living today
• What the Baltimore Catechism has to do with your anxiety about next year
• The 5-minute prayer practice that makes everything clearer
• Why "what do you want me to do today, Lord?" is the most powerful question you can ask
• And why Idaho wasn't even a state to Sterling before she moved there — and what that means for your plans

This episode is for the woman who is waiting to feel settled before she starts living. The good news: you don't have to wait.
