Before listening to this episode, please read my “Safety and Abuse Disclaimer” below.My heart had moved on. But God had not released me yet. For almost three years, I stayed in a space I had already outgrown. I felt unseen, misaligned, and quietly certain it was not my long term place. Then the chapter ended. I exhaled for the first time in years.This story reflects a work and vocational context. It does not apply to abusive relationships or harmful environments of any kind. If harm is present in any area of your life, this episode, scripture, or any spiritual voice is not a call to stay. It is a call to leave and get to safety. Get out now.This episode is for the woman who feels the pull to leave and the call to stay. You are discerning in real time, not in hindsight. You do not need to force an answer to honor what is true. There is sacred work happening in spaces that no longer fit.
