In this heartfelt episode of Rise Up & Radiate, I sit down with my dear friend, Michelle, who vulnerably shares her journey from the darkness of grief and loss to rediscovering her identity in Christ. Through the pain of unexpected life changes, Michelle learned to trust God’s timing, release what was holding her back, and step into bravery—even in the face of fear. Her story is a powerful reminder that God meets us in our valleys and uses them to grow and transform us.

Whether you’re navigating a hard season or supporting someone who is, this episode will encourage you to rise up and radiate with hope and faith.

What You'll Learn

1. The importance of feeling your emotions to heal.
2. Why letting go of the past is essential for stepping into your God-given identity.
3. How God meets us intimately in the valleys of life.
4. Practical ways to anchor your identity in Christ during seasons of transition.
5. The power of bravery, trust, and patience in the waiting.

Takeaways & Tools to Help You Rise Up & Radiate

1. Feel It to Heal It: Healing begins with allowing yourself to feel your emotions. Journaling or quiet reflection can help you process what’s in your heart.
2. Anchor Your Identity in Christ: When life feels unstable, remember your worth comes from being God’s beloved, not from roles, relationships, or circumstances.
3. Practice Surrender: Release what is tethering you to the past—whether it’s a role, a relationship, or an old mindset. Let God guide you into something new.
4. Find Bravery in Trust: Like Michelle’s daughter stepping onto a roller coaster, trust that God is holding you and guiding you, even when you’re afraid.
5. Embrace the Waiting: God’s timing is perfect. Ask Him, “What are you teaching me in this waiting?” instead of focusing on the delay.
