Can't figure out who you are when you can't serve anymore? You're not lost—your identity was just built on the wrong foundation.

In this episode, I share what happened when my body forced me to stop for eight months—bedridden, unable to work, unable to serve, unable to be the helper everyone depended on. If you've built your entire identity around being the capable one and now you're facing a forced stop, this episode will help you understand what God is actually doing in the breaking.

You'll discover:

• What happens when your identity is built on doing instead of being
• The terrifying question every servant-hearted woman faces when she can't serve: "Who am I now?"
• Why God sometimes forces us to stop because we won't choose to stop on our own
• The lies Christian women believe about worth, service, and what makes them valuable
• How physical breaking can actually be God's tool for healing spiritual breaking
• The identity crisis that comes when you can't show up for everyone anymore
• Why your worth was established on the cross, not in your capability
• How to rebuild your identity on truth instead of performance
• The unexpected gift hiding in the season of breaking
• What it means to be loved fully—even in your weakness, especially in your weakness

This episode is for you if:

• You've always been the strong one and now you feel completely lost
• Your body has shut down and you don't know who you are without your doing
• You wonder if God is disappointed in you because you can't serve right now
• You've been lying there asking "What's my purpose if I can't help anyone?"
• Your entire sense of worth has been tied to being needed and capable
• You feel guilty for resting when everyone still needs you
• You're grieving the loss of the "you" who could do it all
• You're afraid that if you're not useful, you're not valuable

Your value isn't in your service. Your identity isn't in your doing. And the breaking you're experiencing right now might be the very thing that saves you from a life built on lies.

This is the conversation I wish someone had with me when I was in bed wondering if I still mattered.
