In today’s episode, I’m sharing something deeply personal and sacred.

After months of prayer, wrestling, listening, and surrender—much like Jacob wrestled with God—I’ve come to a clear and peaceful decision: I’m stepping into a sabbatical.

This pause is not from burnout.

It’s not from quitting.

It’s not from confusion.

It’s an intentional, faith-led choice to slow down, go quiet, and prioritize what God has been gently calling me into:

As I record this, I’m nearing the end of my pregnancy, and I’ve felt a strong invitation to release worldly pressure—performance, productivity, comparison, timelines—and instead rest in my identity as a daughter of the Most High King.

For nearly eight years, this podcast and my online work have been a constant part of my life. I’ve rarely stopped. I’ve rarely gone silent. And yet, this season is asking for something different—not striving, not proving, not pushing… but trusting.

This episode is my way of:

During this sabbatical:

This doesn’t mean I’m gone forever.

It means I’m listening more closely.

If and when I feel inspired, I may share again—but without deadlines, algorithms, or obligation.

Whether you’re a mother, expecting, building a business, or simply feeling the weight of the world’s expectations—I hope this episode gives you permission to slow down and honor where God has you right now.

Thank you for being here.

Thank you for listening.

Thank you for walking this journey with me.

I’m deeply grateful for you.

In this powerful, Spirit-led conversation, Petia sits down with Melanie Cox to unpack the true nature of God, how to find peace in the midst of tribulation, and what it really means to live the full, abundant life Jesus promised.

In today’s episode of Made for Impact, Petia opens her heart and shares the life-changing shift that happens when we reorder our priorities — not around hustle, business, or self-development — but around God.

In this powerful episode of Made for Impact, Petia welcomes her longtime friend Nadia — a woman whose life was radically changed by Jesus after years in the New Age movement, sobriety recovery culture, and searching for meaning.

The two originally met in a Las Vegas nail salon over a decade ago — not knowing God would one day write them into the same story. Years later, both found themselves saved by Christ, walking away from the New Age, and stepping into a new identity.

This episode dives into:

- Leaving New Age beliefs

- Sobriety and surrender

- Healing resentment and anger

- Reading Scripture for the first time

- Dating as a Christian woman in Hollywood

- Experiencing the Holy Spirit

- Understanding God’s timing

- Learning peace over pressure

- Faith in uncertainty

Whether you’re new to faith, curious about Christianity, or untangling spiritual confusion — this testimony will speak to your heart.

Have you ever felt that quiet stirring inside — the kind that whispers, “Something is shifting… something is changing… something is coming?” Not in an anxious way, but in a holy, gentle, almost mysterious way.

If you've ever felt like your comfort is shrinking, doors are closing, or desires are changing, this episode will bring clarity, comfort, and biblical grounding.

In this new episode, I dive into the life-altering truth of Jesus’s victory over Satan through His sacrifice on the cross—and what that truly means for you and me today.

This is more than theology. This is about freedom, redemption, spiritual authority, and living from victory instead of fear.

Together, we explore why Jesus’s death was not just symbolic—it was necessary. Through Scriptures like Romans 6:23, Isaiah 53:6, Colossians 2:15, and Revelation 1:18, I walk you through how the cross dismantled the power of sin, stripped Satan of his authority, and restored our direct relationship with God.

So many believers still live under condemnation, guilt, and fear… even though Jesus already paid the full price. In this episode, I lovingly remind you that you were never meant to live bound—you were meant to live free, redeemed, and confident in Christ’s victory.

If you’ve ever wondered:

Why did Jesus have to die?

What really happened in the spiritual realm on the cross?

Does Satan still have power today?

What does this mean for my everyday struggles?

This episode will strengthen your faith, ground you in biblical truth, and awaken your identity as a woman who walks in divine authority.

This is not just a teaching.

💡 Key Takeaways

Jesus’s sacrifice fulfilled the penalty of sin once and for all.

Satan’s power of accusation and fear was stripped at the cross.

Salvation is a gift of grace, not something we earn.

There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ.

The resurrection sealed the ultimate spiritual victory.

You are called to live from victory—not striving for it.

🙏 Action Steps

Read Romans 6, Isaiah 53, Colossians 2, and Revelation 1 this week.

Journal what it means for you personally that Jesus already won.

Identify one area where you’ve been living in fear instead of faith.

Declare freedom aloud over your life through Scripture.

Pray in gratitude for the gift of salvation and redemption.
