Transitions: When Life Doesn't Go as Planned | Episode 136

What do you do when life doesn’t look the way you thought it would?

Whether you're navigating a move, a career change, a new relationship, an engagement, marriage, or simply another unexpected twist in your story, transitions can be both beautiful and deeply challenging.

In this conversation, Maria and Megan explore the grief, uncertainty, hope, and growth that often accompany life's transitions. They share why it's important to honor both what you're leaving behind and what you're stepping into, and how God often does His deepest work in the spaces we never planned for. 

In this episode, you'll learn: 

• Why transitions feel so hard (and why that's completely normal) 
• How to hold both grief and hope at the same time 
• The hidden gifts that can come through disappointment 
• Why your desires matter—even when you're afraid to name them 
• How to move through change with greater trust, curiosity, and peace 

If you're in a season of change and wondering if you're doing it "right," this episode is a gentle reminder: you're not failing, you're transitioning—and God is with you in every step of the journey.
