224 No More Striving: What a Year of Saying Yes to God Taught Me
One year ago, I came home from a trip to Destin, Florida—exhausted, burned out, and soul-weary from years of chasing peace, purpose, and power in all the wrong places. One night not long after, I fell to my knees and cried out, “God, I can’t do this alone anymore.” And everything changed.
In this deeply personal episode, I’m sharing what a full year of saying yes to God has taught me.
From karmic astrology and Akashic Records to church pews and quiet obedience, this is the story of how I walked away from New Age spirituality and found the peace I couldn’t manifest—by surrendering to the God who never left me.
This episode isn’t about perfection. It’s about perspective—how I still stumble, still sin, still get it wrong… but I no longer live in fear or perform for love. Because now I know who I am—and Whose I am. My hope is that you'll see some of yourself in this.
I’ll talk about how…
- I returned to church for the first time in years and finally found rest
- Karmic astrology and Akashic Records are crutches that excuse sin
- I was legally blind—and how walking by faith helped me truly see
- My finances improved when I stopped spending on spiritual striving and seeking... but never finding
- My legal work now flows with ease because I’m grateful, not resentful
- The podcast has shifted from performance to purpose—serving women who are waking up to deception and longing for truth
Whether you’re curious, questioning, or right in the middle of your own surrender… this episode is for you.
