Have you ever felt like there’s more for your life… but you’re not quite sure what it is—or how to step into it?

In this episode, I sit down with ReShonda Young, and I’ll tell you right now—this conversation is powerful.

ReShonda is a serial entrepreneur, but more than that, she’s someone who truly lives led by purpose. And what I love most about her story is that she doesn’t move based on what makes sense—she moves based on what she feels called to do.

From starting businesses out of her parents’ basement… to overcoming identity theft… to building multiple streams of income… her journey is marked by one thing: obedience.

And it doesn’t stop there.

She shares how one of the hardest seasons of her life—including a health diagnosis—became the very thing that positioned her into her next assignment. Through prayer, stillness, and being willing to listen, she found herself stepping into something she never would have planned on her own.

Because that’s the truth about purpose—it doesn’t always follow your plan.

It follows your willingness.

We talk about what it really looks like to trust God when things don’t make sense, how to move forward even when you feel unqualified, and why fear is often the very thing standing between you and the life you’re called to live.

If you’ve been overthinking, waiting, or feeling stuck… this episode is your reminder:

You don’t have to have it all figured out.

You just have to take the next step.

Because God will meet you there.

And you are more than capable of walking out everything He’s placed inside of you 🤍
