What do you do when you know God led you somewhere… but the season still feels incredibly lonely?In this honest and vulnerable episode of the What the Heaven? Podcast, we talk about the side of life transitions that people rarely discuss — the deep loneliness that can come with change, moving somewhere new, and starting over.After moving to Vermont over a year ago, I expected that by now life would feel more settled. Community would be forming. Friendships would be growing. Things would feel… rooted.But the reality?It’s been far more isolating than I expected.In fact, after more than a year here, I only have three people’s phone numbers… and we don’t even text regularly.And while that might sound discouraging, this episode is a reminder that loneliness doesn’t mean God has forgotten you.Sometimes when God moves us into a new place or season, He begins by growing deeper roots before new relationships appear.In this episode, we talk about:• The hidden loneliness of moving to a new place • Faith during isolating seasons • Why life transitions can feel emotionally disorienting • Trusting God when community takes longer than expected • What the Bible says about loneliness • Finding hope when you feel disconnected or unseenWe also look at the encouraging truth from Psalm 68:6 — that God sets the lonely in families — and what that promise means for those walking through quiet or isolating seasons of life.If you’re navigating loneliness after a move, a life transition, a new job, or a new calling, this episode will remind you that your story isn’t finished yet.God is still writing the chapters where connection grows, friendships form, and the unfamiliar begins to feel like home.Until then, remember this truth:It won’t always be this lonely.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Welcome to the “What the Heaven?

Season 2 Episode 28 | When Change Triggers Anxiety: Why Your Body Reacts During Big Life Transitions (Christian Nervous System Healing)Have you ever stepped into a new season with God…only to feel like your body is completely freaking out?Racing heart.Anxiety attacks.Muscle tension.Headaches.Even histamine reactions or exhaustion.When big life changes happen, your nervous system sometimes takes time to catch up with what God is doing in your life.In this episode of the What the Heaven? Podcast, we talk about the physical side of spiritual growth — why major change can trigger anxiety symptoms, stress responses, and emotional overwhelm…even when you're walking in obedience to God.Your body isn’t rejecting your calling.Sometimes God is releasing old stress patterns, fears, and thought cycles so you can heal and become the person He is shaping you to be.And the good news?This season won’t last forever.Just like Jesus describes in John 15:2, pruning is temporary — and it always leads to growth.In this episode we talk about:• Why big life transitions can cause anxiety and physical symptoms• How your nervous system reacts when life changes quickly• Why healing often feels uncomfortable at first• The spiritual meaning of pruning seasons• How to stay rooted in Christ while your body adjustsIf you're navigating a season of stress, anxiety, health reactions, or emotional overwhelm while following God, this episode will remind you that your body is not broken — it's adjusting.Your pruning season won’t last forever.Your blooming season is coming.Keywords:Christian anxiety, faith during change, nervous system healing, Christian mental health, spiritual growth, anxiety and faith, healing with God, Christian encouragement, trusting God in difficult seasons.

Season 2 Episode 27- Have you ever prayed for change… and then waited.And waited.And waited some more?In this episode of What the Heaven?, we’re talking about the slow middle season — the space between obedience and outcome. The part no one glamorizes. The part where you’re doing what God asked, but nothing seems to be moving.If you’re in a season of:waiting on a movewaiting on healingwaiting on financial breakthroughwaiting on claritywaiting on relationships to shiftwaiting on your body to changewaiting on God to feel close againThis episode is for you.We’re unpacking what it looks like to trust God when change is taking longer than you expected, how to stay faithful when progress feels invisible, and why slow growth doesn’t mean spiritual failure.Because sometimes the delay isn’t denial.Sometimes it’s development.If you feel stuck, forgotten, or frustrated in your faith journey — press play.You’re not behind.You’re becoming.It's just a slow journey. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Welcome to the “What the Heaven?

Season 2 Episode 26 | Overwhelmed and Obedient: Following God When Change Feels Exhausting (Mark 4:35–41)What happens when you follow God… and the change still feels exhausting?In Episode 26 of What the Heaven?, I share a raw and unfiltered look at what obedience actually felt like this year — not polished, not triumphant, but overwhelmed.Exactly one year after leaving a toxic environment and moving halfway across the country with chronic health challenges, financial pressure, and two French bulldogs, I started working full time again. Instead of feeling victorious, I had a breakdown in my chiropractor’s office. I was so exhausted I almost drove our new car into a cement pole.This episode is about that kind of tired.The kind where your nervous system remembers survival.The kind where obedience doesn’t look glamorous.The kind where you whisper, “God, I obeyed You… so why is this so hard?”Using the story of Jesus calming the storm in Mark 4:35–41, we talk about:• Why obedience to God does not guarantee ease• Following God through major life transitions• Leaving a toxic environment and rebuilding from scratch• Faith during burnout, overwhelm, and emotional exhaustion• Trusting God when your body feels like it’s still in a storm• The difference between being outside God’s will and simply being in a hard seasonYou can be overwhelmed and still obedient.You can be exhausted and still exactly where God called you.You can be in a storm — and still have Jesus in the boat.If you’re a Christian woman navigating change, burnout, or a season of rebuilding after something hard, this episode will remind you: the storm doesn’t cancel the calling. It might just be part of the journey.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Welcome to the “What the Heaven?

25 | Waiting on God’s Timing When Your Prayers Feel Delayed (Genesis 21:1–7)Have you ever felt like you heard from God clearly… but the change you prayed for still hasn’t happened?In this episode, we’re talking about waiting on God’s timing, trusting Him when your prayers feel delayed, and holding onto faith when life isn’t changing as quickly as you hoped. Through the story of Abraham and Sarah in Genesis 21:1–7, we explore what it looks like to believe God’s promises even after long seasons of waiting.I’m sharing our personal story of leaving Iowa after a painful job situation, praying for direction, sensing God leading us to Vermont, and then waiting nearly three years for the door to open. Even after the move, our first year was filled with health struggles, financial stress, car troubles, and emotional exhaustion — yet God was still working behind the scenes.If you’re:• Waiting on God to answer a prayer• Feeling stuck in a hard season• Wondering why God’s timing feels slow• Trusting God but struggling with discouragementThis episode will encourage you to keep your eyes on Jesus, stay surrendered to God’s will, and remember that delayed change does not mean denied promises.God’s timing is never rushed — but it is always faithful.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Welcome to the “What the Heaven?

Season 1 Episode 18- Are you fighting the wrong battles? In this empowering episode, we break down how spiritual growth works a lot like a kids’ karate class — you stretch, you practice, you build discipline, and THEN you learn how to aim your strikes where they actually matter.Too often, we waste our energy battling ourselves, our circumstances, or our insecurities, when Scripture teaches us that the real enemy is spiritual, not physical. With the Holy Spirit as our coach and trainer, our faith muscles grow stronger through practice, stretching, and daily discipline — long before we ever step onto the battlefield.If you’ve been feeling stretched, challenged, uncomfortable, or “in training,” this episode will help you see the purpose behind it — and remind you that the Holy Spirit is preparing you to overcome the real enemy with power, clarity, and confidence.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Welcome to the “What the Heaven?
