“I’ve Tried Everything”—How Paulina Stopped Controlling and Started Hoping | Episode 95

What happens when you’ve done all the right things—the books, the prayers, the programs—and you’re still waiting?In this special bonus conversation, Paulina shares her honest journey through singleness, disappointment, and the slow surrender of control. As a high-capacity, driven woman, she realized that hoping again didn’t mean trying harder—it meant learning how to release timelines, loosen her grip, and trust God without needing certainty first.“I realized I wasn’t afraid of hoping—I was afraid of losing control.”Paulina reflects on what it looks like to live out gritty, Christian hope—the kind that stays rooted in God even when circumstances don’t change right away. This episode is for the gal who’s tired, faithful, and quietly wondering if she can risk opening her heart again. ✨ January is stacked ✨Doors to our 6 month Program: Thriving in the Space Between open January 20 with an Early Bird discount, and close January 31.👉🏼Explore the journey Before doors open, you’re invited to join us for two free live events:• January 13 @ 7pm CT — Program Overview + real stories from TIS members• January 22 @ 7pm CT — Free live workshop on Dating Without Deadline Panic Workshop If you’ve been curious, discerning, or quietly hoping for something different, this is your invitation to stay close.👉 Stay in the loop + get all the details:[https://theintentionalsingle.myflodesk.com/waitlist2026]✨✨✨💛 Stay connected to TIS 👉🏼 Stay in the know on all things TIS!Want to go deeper?
