Becoming - A Journey from Clenched Fists to Open Palms After three months away, I'm back with a story of transformation that might just change how you think about rest, performance, and what it means to truly be present. What happens when you step away from the constant pull of social media, the pressure to perform, and the "shoulds" that have driven you for 25 years? In this vulnerable episode, I share what I discovered during my summer sabbatical - and it wasn't what I expected. In this episode, you'll hear about: The profound difference between helping from overflow vs. helping from depletion Why I broke a 25-year pattern of pushing myself to "finish strong" every June What it really looks like to move from clenched fists to open palms The questions that changed everything: "Why am I saying yes to this?" How to create containers for presence (not just productivity) The gift of simplicity and what happens when you truly unplug This episode is for you if: You're feeling pulled in a million directions and can't remember the last time you felt truly present You're tired of performing but scared of what might happen if you stop You're curious about sabbath but don't think you could ever step away You're ready to examine what's really motivating your "yes" responses Your heart is longing for more time with Jesus but life feels too full I'll be honest - this return to podcasting feels vulnerable. But if you're feeling fragmented, weary, or stuck in patterns that are draining your soul, I want you to know you're not alone. Sometimes the most radical thing we can do is open our hands and see what God wants to fill them with. Come grab a cup of coffee and join me as we explore what it looks like to become the women God is calling us to be - not through more doing, but through deeper being.
