Is life so busy that you can’t imagine making time for a dream?

Whether you’re working full-time, part-time, or somewhere in between; navigating life with teenagers; caring for aging parents or small children; serving in your community or your church, there are countless obligations that compete for your valuable and limited time.

It’s hard to imagine where you’d find “extra” time to write, pursue a business idea, or build the ministry you’ve been dreaming about.

If you’re waiting to find time so you can get serious about a passion project, I’ve got to be honest with you: It won’t just happen. The daily demands of life will always stand in the way of your ambitions.

But what if a shift in perspective could help make space for what matters?

My guest Vivian Cumins is a writer, speaker, and host of the Juggling Life, Finding Balance Podcast, and this episode is about her journey of seeing her imbalanced life, listening to the Lord, and finally stopping to do something about it.

Listen in and you’ll learn from practical examples about:

🚶‍♀️ How a morning routine can set the tone for a balanced and Christ-centered day,

✨ The importance of trusting God’s plans, especially in challenging times, and

💡 Prioritizing fun and self-care for a spiritually healthy and joyful life.

If you’ve ever struggled to maintain balance in your own life, Vivian’s story offers an encouraging alternative focused on three pillars: God first, self-care, and fun.

May this episode be an encouragement toward more balance in your daily life and a deepening relationship with the Lord.

Are you waiting for confirmation from God?

You have a big dream but you’ve felt unsure about whether you should take the leap of faith to begin. You’re waiting for God to confirm the idea or give you insight about how you’ll proceed. Once you have confirmation, you’ll go for it, but when will it come? How long should you wait with your dream on hold?

In this episode, I’m tackling three pervasive myths that can paralyze even the most passionate dreamers, including the belief that you need clear confirmation from God to begin.

Through Scripture and anecdotes from dreamers who are taking action, we’ll uncover how procrastination, fear of failure, and perfectionism can hinder your progress.

If you’re a Christian woman with a big dream, this episode is your invitation to embrace a new way of looking at how to push past these obstacles, start small, and embrace the unknown with a growing faith in Christ.

In this episode you’ll learn:

🔍 How to identify and overcome the myths that will delay your dream,

💫 What you can do if you’re caught in the trap of procrastination, and

💡 The remarkable value of embracing uncertainty even when you’d rather play it safe.

Listen in and discover the freedom to walk with God into your dream, fully confident that you have everything you need to move forward.

Whether you’re just starting out or looking for the encouragement to take a big leap, this episode is packed with insights and inspiration to help you bring your God-shaped dream to life.

Press play and let’s get started!
