Hitting Pause
When Calling an Audible Is the Most Faithful Move You Can Make
Hey girl, hey!
Ever feel like your calendar is running your life and your soul is gasping for air? In this episode of Girl Listen, I get real about what it looked like to pause Season 2 mid-launch and give myself a little something called grace. From missed family moments to God whispers in the middle of burnout, I share the unfiltered story of how I hit the brakes, reset my priorities, and let God rewrite the timeline.
We’re talking:
- When “doing it all” starts doing too much
- How to recognize the signs that it’s time to call an audible
- Why setting boundaries isn’t quitting it’s obedience
- Building a new plan that honors both purpose and peace
- And flexing that grace muscle, one day at a time
If you’ve ever questioned whether it’s okay to slow down, this one’s for you. Sis, calling a timeout isn’t weakness, it’s wisdom.
