Episode description

This one is for all the daydreamers like me who love to force certain outcomes in their lives...you know who you are.


I used to genuinely struggle so much with creating my own version of what I thought the "perfect" future would look like—getting specific achievements, having guys I liked like me back, etc., but within the past month, I've had such a radical shift in mindset that has allowed me to let go & effortlessly bring great things into my life.


This episode is juicy, to say the least, but I have so many anecdotes from my personal life that can show you the magic that happens when you let go and trust in what God wants to happen in your life.


We'll talk about:

  • Why forcing things is bad for our mental health & confidence
  • How we fantasize and overhype people & opportunities
  • Why it was a blessing that things didn't work out with my 6th grade crush
  • When God surprised me with the breakup that birthed this podcast
  • How I learned to reframe negative events as "surprises" from God
  • How I learned to stop overthinking about things I can't control
  • How my social circle transformed once I let God find people for me
  • How these lessons helped things go better with a guy I liked this month
  • Why nothing you force will work if God doesn't want it to


You will walk away from this episode feeling so empowered to trust in God's plan & excited to let life surprise you!
