Purpose isn’t just a calling—it’s life itself. In this episode of Your Deep Life for Christian Women, Barbara sits down with Annice Silimon—minister, educator, entrepreneur, and the visionary known as The Idea Whisperer.

Annice shares how God’s unexpected turns shaped her journey, and why learning Yet so often, we don’t truly surrender to God; instead, we become unconscious to ourselves, moving through life on autopilot. She highlights how God didn’t ask her for surrender but made her literally unconscious to self to get her attention. Through personal stories and hard-won wisdom, she reminds us that the unexpected doesn’t mean off- course—it often means God is doing something bigger than we could imagine.

If you’ve ever wondered how to find your footing in a season you didn’t plan for, or how to align your atmosphere with God’s voice, this conversation will encourage you to see your detours as divine direction.

In this inspiring episode, we sit down with Yanique Brandford, founder and CEO of Help A Girl Out (HAGO), to explore her powerful journey of balancing career and purpose.

driven nonprofit aimed at ending menstrual poverty and stigma.

The question “What is my purpose?” is one of the most quietly echoed yet deeply felt questions of our time. Many of us yearn to know and live out our God-given purpose, but the noise of life, past experiences, and inner doubts can blur that calling.

Abi shares insights on how a confused or fragmented identity can hold us back, and offers practical tools to reconnect with who God originally designed us to be. We also explore how healing, self-discovery, and faith play a vital role in uncovering purpose. Abi brings over 16 years of experience in the healthcare and non-profit sectors, and recently released her new book, 160 Ways to Say I Do, Again.
