Most women don’t need more goals. They need fewer obligations. That might feel countercultural. But if you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and still feeling behind, this episode gives language to what you’re carrying. The issue isn’t motivation—it’s overload.

This isn’t just about doing less to recover; it’s about choosing what truly matters. Growth comes from intentionally letting go of roles and habits that drain you, not from pushing yourself harder.

For 2026, remember: breakthrough won’t come from new planners, tighter schedules, or more hustle. It will come from releasing what no longer serves you and making room for what matters most.

You know what changes everything? When spiritual practices shift from duties we think we owe God to rhythms that help us encounter Him in our everyday, ordinary, and imperfect lives. That’s the transformation we’ll explore together in today’s episode.

I gathered practical wisdom from Beth Moore, Sheila Walsh, Pete Greig, Havilah Cunnington, and Mark Batterson—voices who live what they teach. We discuss real ways to recognize God’s voice, pray boldly, engage Scripture deeply, and notice His presence in everyday moments—even the blurriest ones.

Spiritual growth isn’t a performance. It’s a relationship—a faithful choice to show up, lean in, and build habits that make space for God already inviting you closer.

Let these conversations inspire you and reveal how possible it is to build a life rooted in spiritual practices that truly connect you to God.

Last week in my Catalyst Mastermind, a disciplined woman showed her color-coded 2026 planner, every goal mapped out. Then she quietly admitted: “I’m doing all the right things, but I still don’t feel like the right person.”

Maybe you’ve felt that too—checking every box, hitting every deadline, but still feeling something’s missing. Here’s what I told her, and what I want to tell you: The problem isn’t your plan. It’s thinking you can do your way into a new life, when you actually need to become your way into it

Doing and becoming are not the same. Achieving isn’t transforming. We spend years chasing goals but rarely ask: Who am I becoming?Today, we're moving beyond last week's conversation. Not "What am I accomplishing?" Not "What am I fixing?" Instead, who am I becoming—and is she who I want to be?

This is the identity shift that unlocks real transformation in 2026. Let’s dive in together—take a moment right now to reflect: Who are you becoming, and what is one action you can take today to align with her?

You don’t need a better planner, a 4 a.m. alarm, or a fresh pack of highlighters to change your life this year. What you really need is something deeper—a vision that pulls you forward instead of pressuring you from behind. A vision that’s worth changing for.

Resolutions fixate on doing more, being better, running faster. They’re rooted in lack, in the places you feel behind, in everything you think needs correcting. But vision? Vision shapes who you’re becoming. It invites growth instead of shaming you into hustle.

And that one reframe changes everything. Today, we’re diving into how to build a God-given vision that lasts longer than February and doesn’t burn you out in the process. Not the white-knuckle kind, but the kind God grows in you step by step—steady, faithful, and full of hope.

I felt a little nudge to talk about Chapter 9 of Fierce Faith. Back in 2017, I titled that chapter “What If Things Fall Apart?”, and honestly, I don’t think anything could be more relevant right now.

It feels like so many of us are wandering through our own wilderness—feeling lost, lonely, and afraid. Afraid of what’s ahead. Afraid of what could be. Afraid of what our anxiety says about us. Afraid of what happens if things really do fall apart.

That’s why I’m sharing this chapter with you today. My prayer is that it brings peace about the future and reminds you to find your own stones of remembrance—those markers of God’s faithfulness that anchor us when fear tries to take over.

At the end of the episode, I’ll not only share practical tools and encouragement to help you fight fear, but I encourage you to take one specific step: pick a stone of remembrance today, write it down, and let it remind you of God’s faithfulness as you step into 2026 with greater confidence.

Today, I want to share Chapter 4 of Fierce Faith: "What If They Don’t Like Me?" I open up about my own rejection stories and the everyday ways fear of rejection shapes our choices. It’s a fear we rarely talk about, but it shadows much of what we do.

Think about it—whether we post that picture we’re proud of, share a new dream with our spouse, or open up to a new friend, fear is right there, whispering doubts. And most of us don’t even realize how much power we’ve handed it.

My prayer is that this chapter helps you recognize and release the fear of rejection, so you can step into 2026 with hope, holy confidence, and courage, embracing your authentic self.
