• New Seasons Require New Boundaries, Not Explanations
    Jan 21 2026

    Send us a text

    In this episode, I introduce Transition Psychology, what happens emotionally, mentally, and spiritually when life shifts, but clarity hasn’t caught up yet.

    Many women blame themselves during these seasons. They assume something is wrong when, in reality, they’re adjusting to change. This conversation is about steadiness, not speed—learning how to honor changing capacity, set boundaries without over-explaining, and recognize transition as wisdom rather than failure.

    If you’re in between seasons, this episode will help you locate yourself and move forward gently.

    In This Episode, We Talk About

    • Why boundaries often come before clarity
    • How transition affects capacity, decision-making, and faith
    • Why over-explaining is exhausting in new seasons
    • The difference between selfishness and recalibration
    • Role renegotiation: when growth changes expectations
    • How to recognize whether you’re grieving, redefining, rebuilding, or simply tired

    I offer a 30-minute Season Reset for women who want help talking through transition instead of carrying it alone.

    This is not ongoing therapy.
    It’s a focused, steady space to help you name the season you’re in and get grounded before making decisions.

    Book a 1:1 with Me.

    It’s okay to be okay.
    Not because everything is resolved, but because God is still present.
    Let not your heart be troubled—you don’t have to rush this season.

  • Why I Stepped Back
    Jan 14 2026

    Send us a text

    In this re-entry episode, I share why I stepped back, what became clear during the pause, and how I’m showing up now. Many women mistake exhaustion for weakness, grief for distance from God, and transition for failure. This conversation is about steadiness, not pressure, and learning how to move forward wisely when life feels unclear.

    If you’ve been tired, uncertain, or carrying more than people realize, this episode is for you.

    In This Episode, We Talk About

    • Why stepping back can be wisdom, not quitting
    • Emotional exhaustion vs. lack of faith
    • Why clarity often comes after steadiness
    • How transition affects decision-making
    • What it means to stay present without rushing the season

    A Note on Support

    I offer a 30-minute Season Reset Session for women who need to reset before making decisions or pushing forward.

    This is not ongoing therapy.
    It’s a focused, practical reset to help you talk through the noise, name your season, and regain footing.
