  • Why Do I Feel Lost in Life? for Introverts Who Are Ready to Ditch Fear and Be All They Were Meant to Be

    Why Do I Feel Lost in Life? for Introverts Who Are Ready to Ditch Fear and Be All They Were Meant to Be
    Jun 28 2026

    Do you ever find yourself asking, “Why do I feel lost?”

    Maybe life looks fine on the outside, but on the inside, you feel disconnected from yourself.

    You’re doing the things you’re supposed to do, showing up where you’re supposed to show up, and maybe even staying inside your comfort zone because it feels safer there.

    But deep down, something still feels off.

    In this episode, I’m asking the question “why do I feel lost?” and reflecting on chapter 19 of The Next Right Thing by Emily P. Freeman, called Come Home to Yourself. This chapter invites us to pay attention to the relationship we often forget: the relationship we have with ourselves.

    This episode is for the introvert, dreamer, or purpose-driven person who feels disconnected, unsure, or afraid to trust themselves.

    Maybe you’ve wondered what your gifts are.

    Maybe you’ve questioned what God created you to do.

    Maybe you’ve dismissed the kind words people have spoken over you because it felt easier to focus on your doubts.

    But what if those words are hints?

    What if God has been using your life, your desires, your relationships, and even the encouragement of trusted people to show you who you are?

    If you’ve been asking “why do I feel lost?”, maybe the next right thing is not to chase a whole new life.

    Maybe it is to notice where you have felt most alive.

    Where you have felt most yourself.

    Where you have seen God’s fingerprints in your personality, your gifts, your longings, and your story.

    Send me an email and tell me: when was the last time you felt most like yourself?

    Share this episode with a friend who feels disconnected or unsure of their next step.

  • How to Handle Criticism. Confidence Strategies for Introverts Who Want to Lead With Boldness

    How to Handle Criticism. Confidence Strategies for Introverts Who Want to Lead With Boldness
    Jun 14 2026

    Do you struggle with knowing how to handle criticism without letting it take over your mind?

    Maybe one person said something harsh, and even though other people encouraged you, that one comment stayed with you.

    In this episode, we’re talking about how to handle criticism without giving every negative voice a seat at the table. We’re reflecting on chapter 18 of The Next Right Thing by Emily P. Freeman, called Don’t Give Your Critic Words, and looking at how to decide which voices deserve our attention and which ones need to be released.

    Criticism is tricky because not all critics are the same.

    In this episode, I talk about why we can hear a thousand kind words and still focus on the one negative thing someone said.

    Why does that happen?

    Why do we replay the hurtful words?

    Why do we rehearse our defensive response?

    Why do we let one person’s opinion have so much power over our hearts?

    For many of us, the issue is not just the criticism itself.

    The issue is our confidence.

    Our identity.

    The way we see ourselves.

    When we are not rooted in who we are, critical words can shake us more deeply than they should.

    They can make us question our value, our work, our calling, and our ability to keep going.

    But when we are rooted in God, we can learn to listen differently.

    This episode is especially for the introvert, dreamer, creator, or purpose-driven person who feels deeply affected by the words of others.

    Maybe you are building something.

    Maybe you are using your voice in a new way.

    Maybe you are trying to step out in faith, but the fear of being judged keeps pulling you back.

    I want you to know this: not every opinion deserves your energy.

    Not every critic deserves your response.

    Not every negative word deserves space in your heart.

    Sometimes the next right thing is to draw a line in the sand and decide what you will believe.

    You may not be able to stop people from speaking.

    You may not be able to go back and change what someone said.

    But you can decide whether those words get to shape your identity.

    You can decide whose voice gets to lead.

    And you can ask Jesus to help you catch yourself when you start repeating negative words that were never rooted in truth.

    Learning how to handle criticism is not about becoming hard or unbothered.

    It is about becoming rooted.

    It is about knowing who you are.

    It is about trusting God’s voice more than the voice of the critic.

    Send me an email and tell me: what critical voice do you need to stop giving power to?

    Share this episode with a friend who needs encouragement after harsh words.

  • How to Say No Without Feeling Guilty? Find a No Mentor. Communication Strategies for Introverts.

    How to Say No Without Feeling Guilty? Find a No Mentor. Communication Strategies for Introverts.
    May 31 2026
    Do you struggle with knowing how to say no without feeling guilty?Maybe you’ve said yes to something, then immediately felt that heavy feeling in your stomach because you knew you didn’t really have the time, energy, or desire to do it.In this episode, I’m talking about how to say no in a way that honors your life, your people, your peace, and the work God has placed in your hands. We’re continuing the conversation from the last episode on what it means to choose your absence and turning our attention to chapter 17 of The Next Right Thing by Emily P. Freeman, where she talks about finding a “no mentor.”A no mentor is someone who can help you make wise decisions when you already know something should probably be a no, but you don’t quite have the confidence to say it yet. This is the person who reminds you of what you value, what you have time for, what season you’re in, and what you truly want to give your energy to.Because the truth is, saying no is not always easy.Sometimes we say yes because we don’t want to hurt people’s feelings.Sometimes we say yes because we want to seem agreeable.Sometimes we say yes because we feel responsible for everything and everyone.And sometimes we say yes because the opportunity looks good, even though deep down we know it does not align with where we are going.But when we keep saying yes to things that do not belong, our calendar gets full, our hearts get heavy, and we lose the space we need for the things that truly matter.In this episode, I share why information is not always enough. We can read the books, listen to the advice, and understand that we need better boundaries, but when the moment comes, we still need the courage to act. We need to move from knowing to doing.I also share why my sister has been a no mentor for me, especially when I need help making decisions around relationships and personal connections I want to preserve. Some decisions require wisdom, care, and a trusted voice that can help us see clearly.We talk about what kind of person makes a good no mentor. Someone whose values align with yours. Someone who has context for your life. Someone who understands the underbelly of your choice. Someone who respects you but is not so impressed by you that they cannot tell you the truth.This episode is especially for the introvert who feels overwhelmed by obligations, expectations, and opportunities that may be good but are not right for this season.Here’s the question I want you to sit with:Do you have the time, space, and energy to pursue the life, dreams, and calling God has placed in your heart while still carrying all the things you’ve already said yes to?If the answer is no, I hope this episode gives you the courage to pause, reflect, and choose what truly matters.Learning how to say no is not about being selfish.It is about stewardship.It is about protecting your peace.It is about honoring your limits.And it is about making room for the life God is inviting you to live.Send me an email and tell me: do you have a no mentor in your life?Share this episode with a friend who struggles with saying no.Leave a review and let me know what stood out to you from this conversation.Thanks for being here!
