When life doesn’t go as planned, it’s easy to define yourself by your mistakes, failures, or the plans that fell apart. In this episode, we talk about what happens when our expectations set us up for disappointment — and how to handle the crushing weight of unmet hopes.

We’ll unpack how unrealistic expectations can break us if we’re not rooted in something stronger — our faith in God. There’s freedom in knowing that even when things go wrong, you’re not stuck there. You’re not the worst thing you’ve ever done — there’s always an opportunity to change, to grow, and to become better.

When life doesn’t go according to plan, it’s easy to slip into negative self-talk: “Things never go right for me.” Broken plans can leave us not just with disappointment but with lingering thoughts that chip away at our confidence and purpose.

In this episode, we talk about how to notice these negative narratives when they show up — and, more importantly, how to stop letting them take over your mind and your future. It’s okay if discouraging thoughts pop up, but you don’t have to hold onto them.

We’ll explore practical steps for changing the story you tell yourself, doing the deep inner work to heal, and rediscovering your true purpose. Learn how to get the care you need for your mind and spirit so you can move forward with hope and clarity — no matter what plans have fallen through.

“Is it possible to stay in transition too long—or come out of it too quickly?”
 We dive into the spiritual and mental tension of being in between — no longer where you were, not quite where you're going.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

• Why people struggle with starting over and how to navigate the discomfort of being back at “1.”
• Encouragement for anyone feeling like they're repeating an old season — you're not regressing, you're leveling up in a new dimension.
• A reminder that growth requires flexibility — spiritually, mentally, and emotionally.
• How to keep your mind and spirit engaged when it feels like life is moving slow or out of sync.

In this episode, we dive into the idea that growth often happens before we feel ready. You might not think you meet all the criteria for the next opportunity, but don’t let that stop you from stepping forward. It’s not just about qualifications — it’s about faith, relationships, and courage.

The right people can push you toward the next level. God often uses relationships to guide our steps and position us for what’s next. Who we are becoming is shaped by who we’re connected to — and by our willingness to keep growing, even when it feels uncomfortable.

Key Takeaways:

• Why you should apply even if you don’t feel "qualified"
• The power of encouragement and community in your growth journey
• How God orders our steps through relationships
• Why personal growth should never stop
