## Resource

If you’ve been setting goals but feeling resistant, unmotivated, or tired instead of inspired, this episode is for you. In this conversation, we slow down and talk honestly about why goal-setting often feels heavy — especially at the start of a new year. Rather than pushing ourselves to do more, we explore the possibility that the tension you’re feeling isn’t laziness… it may be misalignment. This episode invites you to pause, reflect, and consider whether the goals you’re carrying still fit the season you’re in. Through faith, discernment, and gentle truth, we talk about choosing alignment over urgency and wisdom over pressure. You don’t need new goals. You may need permission to realign.

Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take.” 🤍 Reflection Questions from This Episode: Take these with you into prayer, journaling, or quiet reflection: • What goals am I carrying because I feel I should? • What feels heavy instead of life-giving right now? • Where might God be inviting me to realign instead of push harder? • What would alignment look like in this season of my life? 📓 Resources Mentioned Reclaiming Your Identity Journal – a faith-centered journal to help you slow down, reflect, and reconnect with who God created you to be https://payhip.com/b/cxtlk Rest & Restoration Devotional Journal – for women learning how to stewar…
