One Thing Every Young Woman Should Know

“You don't need to abandon yourself to be loving, strong, faithful, or successful.”

Have you ever become so focused on caring for others, meeting expectations and fulfilling your responsibilities that you've lost touch with who you really are?

In Episode 14 of One Thing Every Young Woman Should Know, Jacqueline Peart is joined by Andrea Graham, an authentic self-leadership coach, accredited trainer, programme designer and founder of 'Authentic Woman', for an honest and thought-provoking conversation about self-abandonment, identity, healthy boundaries, faith and reconnecting with your authentic self.

Drawing from her personal journey as a mother, wife, minister and leader, Andrea shares how she reached a point in her late twenties when, despite appearing to have everything together, she realised she had become a stranger to herself.

She knew what everybody else needed, but had lost touch with her own needs, desires and identity.

Her message to the next generation of women is simple but powerful:

You can love others, demonstrate strength, remain faithful and pursue success without losing yourself in the process.

In this episode, discover:

✨ The danger of self-abandonment – How constantly putting others first can disconnect you from your needs, identity and God's voice.

✨ Helping versus enabling – Why supporting someone doesn't mean taking responsibility for their entire journey, and how to recognise when helping becomes unhealthy.

✨ Loving without losing yourself – Why setting boundaries doesn't mean you love someone any less.

✨ Redefining strength – Understanding that being strong doesn't mean carrying everything or pretending you can manage it all.

✨ Faithfulness without self-sacrifice – Why being faithful doesn't always mean remaining in situations, roles or relationships that no longer align with your purpose.

✨ Success on your own terms – Recognising that your definition of success can change as you grow and evolve.

✨ The importance of self-awareness – Learning to recognise your emotions, needs, values and priorities in every season of life.

✨ Reconnecting with God's voice – Developing a personal relationship with God and learning to recognise and respond to His guidance.

✨ Emotional intelligence and authentic living – Practical ways to strengthen your self-awareness and make more intentional decisions.

✨ Giving yourself permission to change – Why growing, evolving and making different choices doesn't mean you've failed.

Follow One Thing Every Young Woman Should Know for more conversations designed to pour wisdom, experience and encouragement into the next generation of women.

What if the woman you are trying to become is already within you?

In Episode 12 of One Thing Every Young Woman Should Know, Jacqueline Peart is joined by Pastor and Prophetess Sola Dawkins, founder of Women With a Purpose, for a powerful conversation about identity, purpose, emotional healing and intentionally building the woman God created you to be. Sola’s ministry focuses on helping women grow in faith, healing, transformation and purpose.

One of Sola’s central messages is: “You are already her.”

You don’t have to wait until you have discovered your perfect career, calling or purpose before you can begin embracing who you are. Sometimes purpose becomes clearer simply by taking the next step.

In this episode, Jacqueline and Sola explore:

✨ Finding purpose through doing, rather than waiting for everything to become clear
✨ Sitting in the power of who God created you to be
✨ Building yourself from the inside out
✨ Why comparison can distract you from your own journey
✨ The unique strength women have to nurture, carry and bring things to life
✨ The importance of genuine human connection in an increasingly digital world
✨ Understanding the cause and effect of past experiences
✨ Recognising emotional triggers and exploring where they come from
✨ Why prayer can work alongside counselling, therapy and pastoral support
✨ Protecting your healing and development process
✨ Being intentional about who you trust with your story
✨ Learning to believe in yourself again after disappointment or trauma

Sola also shares an important reminder for the woman who has experienced pain, rejection or trauma: your experiences may have affected you, but they do not have to dictate the woman you become.

Give yourself permission to seek support. Ask the difficult questions. Pay attention to your triggers. Pray. Find trusted support. And begin rebuilding — one brick at a time.

Build her.Believe in her.Hold onto her.Because she is YOU.

What happens when a father's absence becomes something a woman carries into adulthood?

In this deeply honest and powerful episode of One Thing Every Young Woman Should Know, Jacqueline Peart is joined by Jennifer James-Isichei for an important conversation about absent fathers, identity, self-worth, healing and the ways unresolved childhood experiences can quietly shape adult relationships.

Jennifer shares openly from her own life, reflecting on growing up without her biological father and experiencing rejection within her home. She explains how those experiences affected the way she saw God, herself and relationships—and how healing helped her separate her father's absence from her own value.

One of the most important reminders from this episode is:

“Separate his absence from your worth.”

A father's absence may be part of your story, but it does not define your identity.

In this episode, you'll hear about:

✨ How an absent father can impact confidence and self-esteem
✨ Why some women become overly independent as a form of protection
✨ The connection between childhood hurt and adult relationships
✨ Why unresolved pain can affect the way we see God
✨ Separating rejection from personal worth
✨ The importance of healing rather than carrying shame
✨ Finding trusted people, counselling, coaching or spiritual support
✨ Why you are still fearfully and wonderfully made
✨ Learning to receive God's love without feeling you have to earn it
✨ Jennifer's personal journey towards freedom and healing

🎧 Listen now and share this episode with a woman who may need this reminder:

You are worthy.
You are loved.
You are not forgotten.
And your story can still move forward.

What if purpose isn't one fixed thing you discover once and then follow forever?

What if your purpose can grow, evolve and unfold as you do?

"Your purpose can evolve."

Rather than forcing your life to fit a script you wrote at 20, Karen encourages young women to stay open to growth, development and the leading of God.

✨ Why purpose is often a journey rather than a single destination
✨ How to recognise the recurring "thread" running through your life
✨ The danger of allowing other people to pigeonhole your gifts
✨ Why being multi-gifted doesn't mean you're unfocused
