What happens when you've prayed for clarity, received direction, and believe you know what God is calling you to do… but you're still not doing it?
Girl, let's talk about it!
You've prayed about it. You've asked God for confirmation. You've spent time seeking His direction.
But now that it's time to take action, you're second-guessing yourself, making excuses, waiting for another sign, or convincing yourself that you're not ready.
And here's the question I want you to sit with:
Are you really waiting on God, or are you avoiding what you already believe He's asking you to do?
Because sometimes the issue isn't that we don't know what God is calling us to do.
It's that we're afraid of what obedience will require of us.
In this episode of Identify You, I'm having a real conversation about delayed obedience, overcoming fear, and learning to trust God's plan enough to take action—even when you don't feel completely prepared.
We'll talk about:
Delayed obedience: Recognizing when waiting for clarity has become an excuse to avoid taking action.
Fear and self-doubt: Understanding how emotional pain, past disappointments, and fear of failure can affect your confidence in Christ.
Trusting God's direction: Learning to move forward without needing every detail of His plan.
Walking in your calling: Taking one faithful step instead of allowing perfectionism or fear to keep you stuck.
Beautiful girl, knowing what God is calling you to do and choosing to walk in obedience are two different things.
And sometimes the confidence you've been praying for begins to grow when you stop waiting to feel ready and start trusting God with the next step.
You don't have to feel completely ready to take your next faithful step.
🎧 As you listen, I want you to identify ONE step of obedience you've been putting off and consider what it would look like to take that step in faith this week.
Because your calling isn't just something to pray about.
It's something to faithfully walk out.

#WalkByFaithAndSlay + Pray each and every day because God will make a way.
What if you're not afraid of following God… you're afraid of getting His calling wrong?
You believe God has a purpose for your life.
You've been praying for clarity, asking for direction, and trying to understand what He's calling you to do.
But every time you think you're ready to move forward, another question pops into your mind.
What if I misunderstood God?
What if this is something I want and not something He's calling me to do?
What if I make the wrong decision and step outside of His will?
And before you know it, you're overthinking, second-guessing yourself, and waiting for another confirmation because you're afraid of getting it wrong.
Girl, I get it!
Sometimes we're not afraid of following God. We're afraid of getting it wrong.
In this episode of Identify You, I'm having a real conversation with the Christian woman who knows God has a plan for her life but struggles with fear, self-doubt, and trusting His direction.
We're talking about what happens when the desire to obey God becomes overshadowed by the fear of making a mistake—and how to begin moving forward with confidence in Christ.
Together, we'll unpack:
✨ The fear of getting God's calling wrong and why it can keep you stuck in indecision.
✨ Overthinking and second-guessing God's direction when you're afraid of making the wrong choice.
✨ Trusting God's plan even when you don't have clarity about every step.
✨ Building confidence in Christ so you can stop allowing fear to dictate your obedience.
Beautiful girl, you don't have to have everything figured out before you take your next step.
God knows your heart. He knows your desire to follow Him. And He knows how to guide you as you continue growing in relationship with Him.
You don't have to know every step to trust the God who's leading you.
🎧 As you listen, I want you to reflect on where fear of making the wrong decision may be keeping you from taking a step of faith.
Because sometimes the greatest obstacle isn't a lack of calling.
It's a lack of confidence in the One who called you.

#WalkByFaithAndSlay + Pray each and every day because God will make a way.
Have you ever felt like God created you for something greater… but you can't quite figure out what that something is?
You know God has a plan for your life.
You believe He's placed gifts, talents, and abilities inside of you.
But when it comes to understanding your purpose and what He's actually calling you to do, you find yourself questioning everything.
Am I hearing God correctly?
What if I'm overlooking my calling?
What if I make the wrong decision?
And why does everybody else seem to know what they're supposed to be doing except me?
Girl, I get it!
Sometimes the hardest part isn't believing God has a plan for your life. It's figuring out what He's asking you to do with the life He's given you.
In this episode of Identify You, we're having a real conversation about discovering God's calling, finding clarity for your purpose, and learning to trust His direction when you don't have the entire plan figured out.
We'll talk about:
✨ Discovering your God-given purpose and recognizing the gifts, skills, and talents He's already placed inside of you.
✨ Finding clarity in God's plan when you're struggling to understand your next assignment.
✨ Overcoming comparison and self-doubt so you can stop questioning whether you're qualified for what God is calling you to do.
✨ Building confidence in Christ and learning to trust God with your next step, even when you can't see the entire journey.
Beautiful girl, your purpose isn't something you have to manufacture to prove your worth.
And you don't have to compare your calling to someone else's to validate what God has placed inside of you.
You don't have to have your entire future figured out to faithfully follow God today.
Sometimes clarity comes as you begin walking in obedience with what God has already revealed.
🎧 As you listen, I want you to reflect on the gifts God has given you, the areas where you're seeking direction, and what one faithful step could look like in this season.
Because discovering your identity in Christ isn't just about knowing who you are. It's also about learning to trust whose you are as you walk boldly in His purpose.
What happens when you've spent so much time surviving, taking care of everybody else, and being who everyone needed you to be… that you don't even recognize yourself anymore?
Maybe you've experienced heartbreak, grief, emotional trauma, or a major life transition, and now you're asking yourself:
"Who am I outside of everything I've been through?"
Girl, I get it.
Sometimes life changes so much that you don't even realize how much you've changed along with it. You become the strong one. The responsible one. The one who keeps everything together.
But somewhere along the way, you lose sight of the woman underneath all those responsibilities, expectations, and painful experiences.
In this episode of Identify You, we're having a real conversation about what happens when emotional pain and survival mode begin shaping your identity—and how to start rediscovering who you are in Christ.
We'll talk about:
How heartbreak, grief, and trauma can affect your sense of identity
Why survival mode can make you lose sight of yourself
How to separate who you are from what you've experienced
What it means to rebuild confidence and rediscover your identity in Christ
Because beautiful girl, what happened to you may have changed your life, but it doesn't have to define who you are.
You are more than your pain.
You are more than the roles you carry.
You are more than the woman you had to become to survive.
And you don't have to go back to who you were before everything happened. You can partner with God to discover who He's calling you to become.
🎧 As you listen, I want you to begin reflecting on the parts of yourself you may have lost sight of and what it looks like to reconnect with your God-given identity.
Your past is part of your story, but your identity is rooted in who God says you are.

#WalkByFaithAndSlay + Pray each and every day because God will make a way.
You survived it… but somewhere along the way, you lost yourself.
You became strong because you had to.
You learned how to keep going, take care of everybody, hold everything together, and survive things you never thought you’d have to face.
But now that you’re on the other side, maybe you’re asking:
“Who am I after everything I’ve been through?”
Beautiful girl, sometimes surviving emotional pain changes more than how you feel. It can change how you see yourself, how you show up in relationships, how much you trust, and even who you believe you have to be in order to feel safe.
And eventually, survival mode can start feeling like your identity.
In this episode of Identify You, we’re talking about what happens when the version of you that helped you survive becomes the version of you that you’re afraid to let go of.
We’ll unpack how emotional pain can shape your identity, why being “the strong one” can become a survival response, and how to begin rediscovering your identity in Christ beyond the pain, the roles you carry, and the woman you had to become to make it through.
Because you are more than what happened to you.
You are more than the strong one.
You are more than the survivor.
And you don’t have to remain in survival mode just because survival got you here.
🎧 Stay until the end because I’ll give you an affirmation to help you reconnect with your identity in Christ and a journal prompt to help you recognize what parts of yourself God may be inviting you to rediscover.
Girl, survival got you through it.
But God is calling you beyond survival and into wholeness.

#WalkByFaithAndSlay + Pray each and every day because God will make a way.
God forgave you—so why are you still replaying the mistake, carrying the guilt, and punishing yourself for who you used to be?
Maybe you’ve repented. You’ve apologized. You’ve changed your behavior. You’ve grown. But every now and then, your mind takes you right back to what you did, and that little voice says, “Yeah…but look at your past.”
Beautiful girl, if God released you, why are you still holding yourself hostage?
In this episode of Identify You, I’m breaking down the difference between conviction, repentance, forgiveness, guilt, and shame so you can recognize when God is correcting your behavior versus when shame is attacking your identity.
We’re talking about how to take responsibility for what you’ve done without living in condemnation, how to receive the forgiveness Jesus already paid for, and how to move forward without allowing your past to define who you are in Christ.
Because there’s a difference between saying, “I did something wrong” and believing, “There is something wrong with me.”
And if you’re healing from emotional pain, struggling with shame and unforgiveness toward yourself, or wondering whether your past has disqualified you from God’s plan for your life, this conversation is for you.
🎧 Stay until the end because I’ll give you an affirmation to help you separate your identity from your past and a journal prompt to help you identify what you’re still punishing yourself for—even though God has already forgiven you.
Your mistake may be part of your story.
But it does not get to become your identity.

#WalkByFaithAndSlay + Pray each and every day because God will make a way.
Have you ever prayed for God to speak… only to start questioning whether what you heard was actually Him?
Was that God?
Was that me?
Was that fear?
Or was that simply what I wanted to hear?
If you struggle with second-guessing God’s voice or you’re afraid of making the wrong decision because you don’t want to step outside of God’s plan, this episode is for you.
I’m sharing three ways I’ve learned to discern when God is speaking: whether what I’m hearing aligns with God’s Word, the fruit it produces, and the confirmation God provides.
We’ll also talk about becoming familiar with God’s voice through Scripture, prayer, fasting, removing distractions, and intentionally growing in relationship with Him.
Beautiful, you don’t have to live afraid that you’re going to get everything wrong. God knows His daughters, and He knows how to communicate with us in ways we can understand. Our responsibility is to stay close enough to recognize His voice.
🎧 Stay until the end because I’ll give you an affirmation to strengthen your confidence in hearing God and a journal prompt to help you recognize the ways He may already be speaking in your life.
If you’ve been praying for clarity for God’s purpose, second-guessing your next step, or wondering whether you can trust what you heard, this conversation will help you move from confusion toward greater confidence and dependence on God.

How do you know if it’s God speaking—or just your own thoughts and desires?
When you genuinely want to obey God, the fear of making the wrong decision can leave you questioning everything. In this episode of Identify You, we’re talking about how God’s Word, confirmation, and His peace can help you discern His voice and direction.
You don’t have to live afraid of getting it wrong because God knows how to make Himself clear and will speak to you in ways He knows you understand.
Why does healing emotional pain take so long—even when you’ve prayed, forgiven, and done the work?
If you’ve ever had a painful moment resurface and immediately thought, “I thought I was over this,” I want to remind you that healing isn’t always linear—and feeling pain again doesn’t automatically mean you’re going backwards.
In this episode of Identify You, I’m talking about why emotional healing with God goes deeper than simply getting over what happened. God may also be healing what the experience did to you, what you started believing because of it, and who you became in order to survive it.
We’ll talk about how to surrender to God’s healing process, adjust your expectations when healing takes longer than you hoped, and stop allowing painful moments to make you question your progress or your identity in Christ.
You may not be responsible for what broke you, but you are responsible for how you respond to your brokenness. God is the Healer—but healing requires our participation.
🎧 Stay until the end because I’ll give you an affirmation to strengthen your confidence during the healing process and a journal prompt to help you recognize what God may be healing beneath the surface.
If you’ve been asking, “Why am I still hurting?” this conversation will help you stop measuring your healing by how quickly the pain disappears and start recognizing how God is transforming you through the process.

#WalkByFaithAndSlay + Pray each and every day because God will make a way.
Have you been praying about the same thing for months—or maybe even years—and wondering if God hears you?
When the answer hasn’t come, prayer can start to feel repetitive. You may feel disappointed, fearful, exhausted, or even ashamed that you’re still hurting after all this time.
I get it because I’m currently in this season too.
After four years of widowhood, God is teaching me how to dream again, hope again, trust again after heartbreak, and release my expectations of when and how I think things should happen.
And one of the greatest things I’m learning is this:
Prayer is worship while you wait. 🙏🏾
In this episode of Identify You, we’re talking about how to keep praying when it feels like God is doing nothing, how to trust God while healing emotional pain, and what Hagar’s story teaches us about the God who sees us.
We’ll talk about what happens when unanswered prayers collide with disappointment, why waiting doesn’t mean God has forgotten you, and how prayer can renew your faith, strengthen your confidence in Christ, and keep you dependent on your Father while you heal.
Beautiful girl, you are not forgotten.
God sees the heartbreak.
And He knows exactly what you need and how to deliver it.
Every prayer today is a seed for tomorrow.
🎧 Stay until the end because I’ll give you an affirmation to strengthen your faith while you wait and a journal prompt to help you honestly process your emotional pain with God.

It’s time to break free from shame and reclaim your identity in Christ. You are created in God's image, his workmanship, his amazing daughter and it's time to break agreement with the lies trauma has taught you.
I am Shakera, widowed mother of two, Best-Selling Author, Transformation Speaker, and Christian Life Coach. For 14 years, I carried the weight of shame from childhood trauma and deep personal loss.
I tried avoiding my past because I thought it disqualified me and I needed to prove my worth.
I finally realized that God couldn’t heal what I didn’t reveal and if I wanted to move from brokenness to wholeness, I needed to identify who I was in Christ Jesus.
I went on a healing journey to face my truth and recover what trauma tried to steal. I developed spiritually, emotionally, and intentionally so I could show up confidently and build a Kingdom legacy. Now, I’m ready to help you go from emotionally wounded and disconnected from your identity… to whole, secure, confident Faith Slayers rooted in Christ.
