Some battles give you time to prepare.

This one didn’t.

It hit hard, out of nowhere—

and now you’re left picking up pieces, trying to breathe, trying to believe.

In this episode, we’re talking about the battles that blindside us—emotionally, mentally, spiritually. The kind you didn’t pray for, didn’t plan for, and didn’t feel ready for. But here’s the truth: the battles you don’t see coming are often the ones that shape you the most.

If you’re walking through something you didn’t expect, this one’s for you.

You’re not weak.

You’re not crazy.

You’re not alone.

Let’s Talk!

You’re not starting from nothing—you’re starting with everything you need. This season may feel like a setback, but it’s actually setting you up for what’s next. Take what you’ve learned, trust the process, and step forward with confidence. If this episode spoke to you, share it with someone who needs encouragement, and let’s keep building together.
