How to Trust God in the In-Between | Holding On When Your Dreams Feel Distant

July 21, 2025 • Mariah Clayton

Have you ever felt stuck between where you are and where you know you're meant to be? In this episode of Girls in Real Life, we’re talking about the tension of the in-between—the place where your dreams feel close but not quite reality. I’m sharing my personal story of navigating the highs of living glimpses of my dreams, and the lows of returning to my reality afterward.

We’ll unpack:
➤ Why the in-between seasons feel so painful
➤ What Joseph’s story teaches us about the in-between
➤ The reality of balancing your aspirations with your current responsibilities
➤ 5 ways to stay hopeful when your dreams feel distant

If you’re feeling discouraged, impatient, or ready to give up—this is for you. The promise still stands, even when the timeline doesn’t make sense.
