You know that feeling when you step into something new and it doesn't quite fit? When the opportunity feels too big, the role feels too heavy, and you're wondering if you'll ever actually grow into it? Sara and Marisa unpack the analogy of the oversized coat: that moment when God gives you something bigger than what you currently fit into, not to overwhelm you, but to invite you to grow. This episode is about the discomfort of the stretch, the fear of the unknown, and what it actually means to trust that you're becoming the person who can fill out the next season of your life.

🔥 In This Episode:

• The oversized coat analogy and why God gives you opportunities that feel too big instead of ones that fit perfectly right now
• Why you need to give yourself 60 to 90 days before making any additional decisions after a big leap, and how to navigate the growing pains without panicking
• What to do when you're stretching into something uncomfortable and you genuinely don't know if you'll ever fit, and why the answer isn't about knowing
• How to stop putting on someone else's coat by comparing your journey to theirs, and why your growth path is uniquely designed for you
• Why the lesson isn't actually about the coat itself, but about who you're becoming as you grow into the capacity to carry what's next
  
  

Don't be afraid of the next coat. The discomfort you feel right now isn't a sign you're in the wrong place. It's proof you're being stretched into someone capable of carrying more than you ever thought possible. The question isn't whether you'll fit. It's who you'll become in the process of trying.
