s. 3 ep. 21 your dreams & God's plans can coexist, part 1 (my story)

What happens when the life you long for feels like it conflicts with the life God seems to be calling you to live?

In this raw and honest episode, I share the first part of my journey of learning to reconcile my deepest dreams with God’s divine plan — and the internal battle that came with it.

Raised in a deeply Catholic home, I was taught that anything too worldly — whether it was love, money, or ambition — might be a sign I was veering off course. That belief shaped a lot of the choices I made in my early relationships and life. I open up about a pivotal moment in high school that changed everything, and how that moment led me back to a relationship that eventually became my first marriage… and my first divorce.

You’ll hear:

• The quiet fear that kept me from trusting my desires

• How I confused approval with peace — and why that led me to settle

• The moment I started questioning the belief that joy and God’s will couldn’t coexist

• How a retreat in 2021 cracked me wide open and became the catalyst for my healing

This episode sets the foundation for Part 2 and Part 3, where I’ll walk you through how to actually get clear on the desires God has placed on your heart — and how to partner with Him in seeing them through.

If you’ve ever felt torn between your faith and your future, this one’s for you.
