Stop Waiting for Validation & Get Clear on Your Vision 🎙️

Have you ever felt like you’re constantly waiting for someone to validate your dreams before taking action? You have the vision, the idea, and the desire to move forward—but something stops you. You start looking around, wondering if others will agree, support, or confirm what you already know deep down.

The problem? God didn’t give the vision to them. He gave it to YOU.

In this week’s episode of Lupus Speaks & Chronically Planned, we’re talking about how to break free from the cycle of seeking outside approval and instead gain the clarity you need from God to move forward with confidence.


Why Do We Wait for Validation?Many of us struggle with clarity not because we don’t know what to do, but because we’re waiting for someone else to co-sign our purpose.

  • “What if they don’t think it’s a good idea?”

  • “What if I fail?”

  • “What if I’m not ready?”

Sound familiar? We end up paralyzed, stuck in a loop of second-guessing. But Jeremiah 33:3 reminds us:

"Call to me and I will answer you, and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know."

That means when you feel uncertain, you don’t need to run to other people for confirmation—you need to go straight to God.

Faith, Planning, & Execution: The Key to Moving ForwardThe reason I created Chronically Planned is because so many of us are trying to execute without clarity—and that’s exactly why we feel stuck.

✔️ Faith – Trust that what God has for you is already done. Stop overcomplicating it.
✔️ Planning – Make your vision clear, intentional, and faith-based.
✔️ Execution – Move in alignment, not hustle.


This isn’t about doing more—it’s about getting clear on what actually matters and making decisions that align with your purpose.

The Power of a Faith-Based Vision BoardOne of the most powerful ways to gain clarity is through intentional vision planning—but not in the way most people think.

This isn’t just about pasting pictures on a board and “manifesting” things. This is about seeking God first and asking Him:

  • What should I be focusing on in this season?

  • What distractions do I need to remove?

  • How can I align my vision with my faith?


That’s why my vision board process includes five key areas:

1️⃣ Faith & Spiritual Growth – Strengthening my relationship with God
2️⃣ Health & Well-Being – Taking care of my physical and emotional health
3️⃣ Family & Relationships – How I show up for my loved ones
4️⃣ Business & Purpose – The impact I want to make
5️⃣ Finances & Stability – Becoming a good steward of my resources

✨ When you get intentional about seeking clarity first, everything else falls into place.
