11 | When You Don’t Feel Like Showing Up-But God Says Go

This week, I wrestled with the very struggles I’ve been teaching about—negative self-talk, procrastination, toxic distractions, and emotional overwhelm. Honestly? I didn’t even want to record this episode. But I knew that someone out there—maybe you—needed to hear this. In today’s raw and real conversation, I’m sharing what it looked like to walk through spiritual resistance, how a beautiful anniversary trip with my husband stirred up some unexpected memories, and why I chose to show up anyway—despite the mess. You’ll hear: Why rest and rhythm in marriage matter so deeply How God can bring old memories to the surface for healing What to do when lies from the past start to take over your thoughts Three simple tools to help reset your mindset and reconnect with your purpose A powerful reminder from Luke 11:9 and Matthew 7:7 Whether you’re in a season of joy, pain, or both—this episode is your reminder that God sees you, hears you, and has not forgotten your purpose.
