What happens when God calls you to step out in faith—but everything in you wants to hold on to what’s familiar?

In this episode of Unscripted Journey, I dive into the power of honesty — and why being truthful with yourself is the foundation of real freedom and peace.

You’ll learn why most people avoid honesty (even with themselves), how denial clouds your purpose, and how truth can become your greatest tool for growth. If you’ve been feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure about your next step, this episode will help you get real — and start living from a place of clarity and courage.

The graveyard is often called the richest place on earth—not for what’s buried there, but for the dreams, books, and songs that never came to life. Too many people die with their potential still inside them.

Live full, so you can die empty.

Starting over isn’t about having it all figured out — it’s about being brave enough to begin again, even when you’re scared. In this episode, we’ll talk about what it really looks like to start fresh in life. From the fear of being “too much” and “not enough” at the same time, to the myth that you’ll never find love, purpose, or belonging again, we’ll uncover the truth about reinvention.

I’ll share my own story of divorce as one example, but this conversation is for anyone facing a new beginning — whether that’s rebuilding after loss, stepping into a career change, or realizing the life you’ve been living no longer fits.

Key Topics:

Takeaway: You don’t need to feel ready to begin again. You just need to start — even if you’re scared.
