How do you become the best version of yourself and level up your life when fear keeps you stuck?

You’ve prayed, journaled, researched, saved 47 Reels, and asked God for another sign. Baby, God heard you the first six times. 😭 At some point, becoming “that girl” requires trusting yourself enough to move.

In this solo episode, Michal Renée gets into how to reinvent yourself, stop self-sabotaging, overcome fear and self-doubt, and trust God with your next step. You’ll learn why preparation can become avoidance, how community builds your capacity, and what it takes to become the woman who can handle the life she keeps praying for.

If you’re entering a new season, questioning God’s will for your life, or wondering how to start before you feel ready, press play. Your next level may need a more confident, disciplined version of you—and sis, she’s already in there.

Her Promise Circle exists to support women before stress becomes a crisis. Our community shouldn’t have to get a diagnosis before we support them.

So what really happens when you quit your 9–5, go from employee to entrepreneur, and tell God, “Okay… I’m all in now”?

Because baby, leaving your job to build a business sounds bold until the steady paycheck stops hitting, every decision lands on you, and God is once again arriving at 11:59:57 😭

In this episode, female entrepreneurs and founders Michal and Georgina get real about going all in on the businesses God called them to build. They talk about leaving successful healthcare careers, trusting God in business, founder loneliness, financial pressure, fear of being seen, spiritual warfare, internalized shame, and the identity shift that comes with becoming a full-time entrepreneur.

And no, this is not us telling everybody to quit their job tomorrow, update their bio to “CEO,” and call it a leap of faith. Please pay your rent 😂

This is the honest reality of going from 9–5 to founder, building a faith-based business without a cute little backup plan, and becoming the woman capable of carrying a God-given vision.

Because entrepreneurship is not just about starting a business.

It will reveal who you trust, who you believe you are, and whether you are truly ready to go all in.

“I thought God was going to heal her.”

When He didn’t, Michal Renée had some real questions.

In this raw conversation, Michal sits down with Atlanta psychologist, minister, author, and mental health advocate Dr. Alduan Tartt to discuss grief, anxiety, church trauma, spiritual bypassing, gun violence, and healing when your faith gets complicated.

Michal shares how losing multiple loved ones changed her relationship with God, led her to numb her pain with alcohol, and eventually contributed to a mental health crisis while she was working on the front lines during COVID-19.

Dr. Tartt brings the faith and the psychology, helping her put language around compounded grief, emotional shutdown, nervous-system overload, and why telling somebody to “just pray about it” can leave them feeling even more alone.

Baby, they went there.

This episode is for anybody who loves God but still has questions, has been carrying grief like it is their full-time job, or is tired of being called strong when they really need somewhere safe to fall apart.

Content Notice: This episode covers gun violence, traumatic loss, church trauma, grief, anxiety, alcohol misuse, mental health crises, and suicidal ideation. Please take care of yourself while listening.

Have you ever prayed for something, planned it all out, told everybody what you were about to do… and then God started closing every single door? 😭

The job fell through. The opportunity got canceled. The timeline changed. Now you’re sitting there confused like, “Lord… what exactly are we doing?”

Baby, God may not be ignoring you. He might be redirecting you. 👀

In this episode of the Her Promise Circle Podcast, Michal Renee sits down with registered nurse, travel nurse, and content creator Lorenzo Otero for a funny, honest conversation about trusting God’s timing, navigating career transitions, leaving comfort behind, and recognizing divine connections.

Lorenzo planned to travel, make his money, and mind his business. Atlanta was the last place he wanted to be, but after two California nursing contracts were canceled, guess where he ended up? Atlanta. 😂

Meanwhile, Michal was balancing bedside healthcare, building Her Promise Circle, recording the podcast, leading wellness programming, attending meetings, and signing contracts.

Girl… enough was enough.

Then these two strangers met during a night shift and realized God may have connected them during a season when they both needed confirmation and somebody to lovingly ask, “Okay friend, what are you actually doing with your life?” 😂

In this episode, we get into:

• What it means when God keeps closing doors
• How to trust God when your plans fall apart
• Recognizing when comfort becomes complacency
• Leaving bedside nursing without abandoning your purpose
• How divine connections can confirm your next move
• Why prayer still requires action
• Knowing when a season has taught you enough
• The fear of walking into something bigger

Sometimes the job feels uncomfortable because you have outgrown it.

Sometimes the plan keeps failing because you are forcing a destination God never approved.

And no, this does not mean quit your job tomorrow with $14, a vision board, and one Bible verse. 😂

It does mean stop ignoring the pattern, pray honestly, pay attention, and take the next responsible step.

Ever ask God, “Okay… what exactly are You trying to tell me?” 😭

In this episode of the Her Promise Circle Podcast, host Michal Renee sits down with Dr. Akila Marie for a real conversation about hearing God’s voice, understanding your calling, and learning how faith shows up in your career, relationships, and everyday decisions.

As two healthcare professionals, Michal and Dr. Akila explore what it looks like to serve God beyond the walls of the church. They share how their relationships with God shaped the way they care for people, move through career transitions, make difficult decisions, and navigate relationships with greater wisdom and discernment.

This conversation is for anyone who has been praying for clarity, questioning their next move, or wondering whether their career is connected to something bigger.

• How Michal and Dr. Akila came to know God personally
• How to recognize God’s voice when making major decisions
• The difference between building a career and answering a calling
• Living out faith in healthcare and the workplace
• Trusting God when the next step does not make logical sense
• How faith influences dating, friendships, boundaries, and relationships
• Why purpose extends far beyond a job title or 9–5

Their conversation offers a powerful reminder: a job may be where someone works, but purpose is revealed through how they serve, lead, love, and respond to where God has placed them.

Listen now and share this episode with someone who has been asking God for clarity about their career, calling, or relationships.
