Have you ever had something fall apart that you really wanted...only to realize later, it was never meant for you?

In this episode of Jesus Lovin’ and Animal Obsessed, I’m opening up about the time I was unexpectedly fired from my job as a vet tech—and how, in the moment, it felt like rejection… but now I see it was God’s loving protection.

You’ll hear:

• My personal story of getting fired and what it revealed about my purpose

• How God used closed doors to redirect my path

• Encouragement for you if you're in a season of “no,” silence, or redirection

• Truth from Proverbs 16:1, 9, and 33 to remind you who’s really in control

If you’re walking through a setback, pause, or disappointment, this episode is here to remind you: God isn’t punishing you. He’s protecting you. And the best is still ahead.

Hey friend, and welcome to Jesus Lovin’ & Animal Obsessed—the podcast for the faith-led, fur-covered, farm-lovin’ gal chasing her God-given purpose.

I’m Carly—Jesus follower, vet tech, dog mom, farm girl, and online entrepreneur who’s walked the path from burnout to purpose. I created this podcast because I know there are other gals out there like me… the kind who love God deeply, love their animals like family, and know they were made for more.

Around here, we talk about living a life rooted in faith—even in the midst of chaos. I’ll share scripture, encouragement, and how to relate God’s Word to what we’re actually facing—alongside stories from the farm, conversations about freedom, and the journey of letting go of hustle to make room for God’s plan.

Whether you’re in vet med, raising animals on a farm, dreaming of a life outside the 9–5, or just deeply obsessed with Jesus and animals—you belong here.

New episodes drop weekly, so go ahead and hit that follow button—and if this podcast sounds like your kind of space, I’d be so honored if you’d share it with another dog mama or faith-filled friend.

I can’t wait to walk this journey with you—pawprints, prayers, and all. Let’s do this!
