Season 2, Episode 9: Letting Go of Who You Thought You’d Be
What happens when life doesn’t look like you thought it would—and you don’t look like the person you expected to become?
In this episode, Cami gently unpacks the silent grief that comes from unmet expectations, internal pressure, and performance-based faith. Whether you’re still wrestling with anxiety, over-apologizing for your emotions, or trying to “fix” yourself faster, this conversation will help you name what hurts and release who you thought you had to be.
Jesus isn’t waiting for the perfect version of you. He’s already here—offering rest for the real you.
In this episode, we explore: 💬 The quiet grief of not being “who you thought you’d be” 💬 Why performing your way into peace doesn’t work 💬 How to let go of self-imposed pressure and meet God in the present 💬 Scriptures that remind you: God’s not disappointed in you
Scriptures: Psalm 51:6 “Behold, You desire truth in the innermost being, And in the hidden part You will make me know wisdom.”
