Diary Entry #5: very much stuck | Welcome to The Honesty Circle 🩷✨

Have you ever told God, “I’m surrendered… I’m yielded… I want Your will,” but still felt completely stuck? That’s where I’ve been. In this episode, I’m unpacking what it looks like to be submitted to God on the outside but secretly held back by fear, passivity, and a lack of action on the inside.

I share how I’ve swung between two extremes: Operating fully in my own strength, grind mode, and ambition (hello burnout 😅)Then, almost shutting everything down — my podcast, my business, my creativity — in the name of “waiting on God”

Somewhere in the middle of those extremes, God started showing me that my inaction was actually revealing a lack of faith. I say I trust Him, but am I moving like I believe Him?

This week I talk about:

✨Being “submitted and stuck” at the same time

✨Confusing passivity with surrender

✨Faith with works vs. faith with fear

If you’ve been scared to move, worried about slipping back into old patterns, or using “I’m just waiting on God” as a safe hiding place… this episode is for you. You’re not the only one trying to figure out what it looks like to obey God without losing yourself, your mental health, or your peace in the process.
