Embracing the Waiting Season | Faith, Writing & Trusting God's Timing ft. Tarari Kalango
from The Yadah Podcast · host Awele
She quit her job in London with nothing lined up. Three months of unemployment followed. And she wouldn't change a thing.➡️ In this episode of The Yadah Podcast, I sit down with writer, blogger, and professional Tarari Kalango for a deeply honest conversation about faith, career transitions, creativity, and what it really means to trust God when the path isn't clear.Tarari shares the story behind leaving her consulting job in London after feeling a strong conviction from God — before having another role secured. What followed was three months of unemployment that she now looks back on as one of the most meaningful seasons of her life. From bonding with family to hosting church small groups to walking into a role that moved her to the US in two weeks — this is a story about what obedience and faith actually look like in real life.We also get into her journey as a writer, the story behind her Substack blog "God Bless These 20 Somethings," why she believes writing is 90% reading, and the advice her mother gave her about the "destination mentality" — the dangerous idea that happiness is always waiting at the next destination.If you're in a season of uncertainty, waiting on God, navigating a career transition, or trying to figure out what to do with a creative gift, this conversation will speak directly to you.💛 Check out Tarari's blog "God Bless These 20 Somethings" on Substack: https://tararikalango.substack.com/🌍 Find The Yadah Podcast everywhere: https://beacons.ai/yadahpod✅ Subscribe to The Yadah Podcast and turn on notifications so you never miss a new episode: https://www.youtube.com/@yadahpod?sub_confirmation=1---------------🎙️ Welcome to the official YouTube channel of The Yadah Podcast, a faith-based podcast where real stories reveal the goodness and faithfulness of God.Here, we explore what it means to live a life rooted in gratitude, purpose, and surrender through honest, long-form conversations that connect faith with everyday decisions.Whether you are seeking direction, encouragement, or a deeper relationship with God, The Yadah Podcast offers a place to reflect, grow, and be inspired through meaningful, faith-centered conversations.If you’re passionate about living a purpose-driven life, growing in your faith, and discovering how God is moving in real lives today, make sure to subscribe to the channel and activate notifications so you never miss a new episode. 🔔---------------📲 Follow The Yadah Podcast on social media!TikTok ▶️ https://www.tiktok.com/@YadahpodInstagram ▶️ https://www.instagram.com/yadahpod---------------Chapters:00:00 Guest Introduction 01:36 The Journey to Writing 09:00 Involvement with the Rainbow Book Club13:26 Lessons from Interviewing Writers17:00 The Evolution of a Blog23:30 Navigating Career Changes28:10 Reflections on Unemployment32:20 Choosing Happiness and Surrender37:19 Future Aspirations in Writing39:27 Final Thoughts & Gratitude---------------#TheYadahPodcast #ChristianPodcast #FaithAndCareer #TrustingGod #ChristianLiving #FaithJourney #ChristianWomen #SpiritualGrowth #GodsPlan #CareerTransition #ObedienceToGod #ChristianWriter #FaithInUncertainty
