37. Starting Over Doesn’t Mean You Failed with Jen Preston

In this episode of Not Just Waiting, I’m joined by Jen Preston—coach, mentor, and someone who beautifully embodies what it looks like to keep saying “yes” to God in every season.We talk about the kind of growth that doesn’t get celebrated—the quiet, unseen forming that happens beneath the surface. The kind that requires humility, courage, and a willingness to release what we thought life would look like.If you’ve ever wondered:​“What if I got it wrong?”​“Why does this look different than I expected?”​“Does starting over mean I failed?”This conversation is for you.Jen shares honestly about:​Redefining success and failure through God’s lens​Letting go of timelines, expectations, and control​Having the courage to start over (even when it’s uncomfortable)​Processing disappointment with God instead of pretending it’s not there​What it actually looks like to wait well in the middle of the unknownOne of my favorite reminders from this episode: It’s not wrong. It's just different.And maybe that difference is exactly where God is forming something new in you.You are not behind. You are not forgotten. And you are definitely not just waiting.Connect with Jen:​Instagram: @jenprestoncoaching​Facebook: Jen Preston Coaching​Website: Jen Preston Coaching If this episode encouraged you, share it with a friend and come join us over on Substack for deeper conversations like this.
