19: Finding Your Purpose When You're Stuck: Stop Overthinking Your Calling

It's Christmas week, and while everyone's wrapping presents, you're sitting with that familiar ache—knowing you're called to something more meaningful but paralyzed by confusion and doubt.

If you're a high-achieving woman who's been overthinking every step of your next career move, this episode is for you. I'm breaking down exactly why confusion and doubt aren't helping you find your purpose—and sharing the three faith-based strategies that actually work.

In This Episode, You'll Discover:

Strategy #1: Replace Confusion with Clarity Questions

• Why "What's my purpose?" keeps you stuck (and what to ask instead)
• The 3 specific clarity questions that create momentum:
  1. "What problem do I solve better than most people?"
  2. "Who do I feel called to serve?"
  3. "What's the next right step, not the whole staircase?"
• How to identify your next right step without seeing the whole staircase

Strategy #2: Replace Doubt with Decisive Belief

• Why doubt sounds like wisdom but actually prevents your purpose
• How to counter specific doubts with God's truth
• The decision + action formula that crushes doubt and creates momentum

Strategy #3: Replace Waiting with Walking

• Why waiting for perfect clarity is stealing your abundant life
• How to act on what you already know (even when it's imperfect)
• The power of celebrating small steps on your faith-fueled journey

Key Scriptures Referenced:

• John 10:10 - Abundant life
• Ephesians 2:10 - Created for good works
• Proverbs 16:3 - Commit your work
• Psalm 119:105 - A lamp to your feet
• James 1:6-8 - Faith without doubting
• Hebrews 11:1 - Faith is assurance of things not seen
• Romans 12:2 - Transformed by renewal of mind

A Special Christmas Reflection:

Jesus didn't come to earth so you could spend your days riddled with confusion and doubt. He came to give you abundant, purposeful, meaningful life. This episode will remind you that your meaningful work already exists—God has already prepared it for you.
