In Week 3 of our Holy Girl Summer series, we're diving into one of the most important parts of discovering your spiritual gifts and walking in your calling: learning to recognize the voice of God.

133 | Holy Girl Summer Mini Series Part 2 : How to Discover Your Spiritual Gifts and Become Who God Created You to Be

In this week's Holy Girl Summer episode, we laid the foundation for understanding spiritual gifts—what they are, why God gives them, and how they help us become all that He created us to be.
Together, we explored key passages we'll be studying throughout this series:📖 Romans 12:4-8📖 1 Corinthians 12📖 Ephesians 4
One thing we discovered is that spiritual gifts aren't given for our benefit alone. They are given to build up the Body of Christ, serve others, and bring glory to God.
I also shared a challenge for the next 9 weeks:
Spend 5 minutes a day in prayer.
Not out of religious obligation.Not to check a box.But to draw near to God, hear His voice, and become more sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit.
Many of us are trying to navigate life exhausted, overwhelmed, burnt out, and disconnected. But what if part of the reason is that we've been trying to operate outside of the identity God has given us?
You don't know what you don't know.
And perhaps the reason you've felt stuck is because you've been striving to be someone God never called you to be, while neglecting the unique gifts He placed inside of you.
Discovering your spiritual gifts helps you:
✨ Grow closer to God✨ Understand your unique value✨ Stop comparing yourself to others✨ Gain clarity on your calling✨ Serve with greater confidence✨ Make a greater contribution in your home, church, workplace, and community
Because at the end of the day, the question isn't: "Do I have spiritual gifts?"
The question is: "Am I using the gifts God has already given me?"
When a woman begins to steward those gifts well, she often experiences a new level of purpose, confidence, and joy in her journey to becoming.This summer, let's stop striving to be someone else and start discovering who God created us to be

132 | Holy Girl Summer Mini Series Part 1: Unlocking Your Spiritual Gifts & Rewiring Your Mind For Growth with Renee Booe

Welcome to Holy Girl Summer! ☀️🌿
We're kicking off this powerful new series with a conversation that every Christian woman needs to hear.
In this episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, I'm joined by Renee Booe, Certified Biblical Brain-Based Life Coach, as we dive into the connection between your spiritual gifts, purpose, and God-given calling.
Many of us know we're called for more, yet we find ourselves shrinking back, doubting our gifts, questioning our abilities, or hiding behind fear. Renee shares why this happens, how limiting beliefs and old narratives can keep us stuck, and why spiritual gifts are often directly connected to the purpose God has placed on our lives.
Renee also vulnerably shares lessons from her own recent season of growth and expansion in business, revealing how growth has a way of exposing areas where fear still exists. Together, we discuss what it looks like to move through those fears as a high-achieving Christian woman who desires to fully steward what God has entrusted to her.
✨ In this episode, you'll learn:
How to identify and embrace your spiritual gifts
Why fear often increases when God is expanding your territory
Common reasons women shrink back from their calling
How limiting beliefs impact your confidence and obedience
Practical ways to renew your mind and create new thought patterns
How biblical truth and brain science work together to support transformation
What it looks like to confidently walk in your God-given purpose
If you've ever felt called to more but found yourself battling self-doubt, fear, comparison, or imposter syndrome, this episode will encourage you to stop hiding and start partnering with God in a deeper way.
This conversation is packed with wisdom, practical tools, and powerful reminders that the gifts God placed inside of you were never meant to stay hidden.
🎧 Tune in and join us as we kick off Holy Girl Summer by discovering how God uniquely created you to serve, lead, and impact the world around you.

130 | Investing in Yourself: Why You Can't Become Her Without Investing in Her

What if the biggest thing standing between where you are today and the woman God is calling you to become isn't a lack of opportunity, but a reluctance to invest in your own growth?
In this episode, I'm sharing a personal story about investing in mentorship for the first time, doing absolutely nothing with it, and staying stuck longer than I needed to. The opportunity wasn't the problem. My mindset was.
A year later, I chose to try again. This time, something had shifted. I began to see myself differently, show up differently, and experience the growth I had been praying for.
Just like a fish continues to grow when it's placed in a larger tank, we grow when we place ourselves in new environments, healthy communities, mentorship, and spaces that challenge us to become more than we've been.
Growth doesn't happen by accident. It happens when we are willing to stretch.
We'll talk about:
Why investing in yourself can feel so scary
The mindset that keeps women stuck
How new environments create new possibilities
Why your growth is connected to your obedience
The people who may be impacted by your willingness to keep going
Why investing in yourself is never wasted when you stay committed to the process
You may not realize it, but there are people attached to your obedience. There are women who need your story, your growth, your courage, and your willingness to keep taking the next step.
Don't let fear convince you to stay where you've always been.
God gets the glory when ordinary women say yes, keep growing, and refuse to give up.
Let's take the next right step together.

129 | The Money Mindset Keeping Women Stuck (and How Raising Your Standards Changes Everything)

Most women aren’t stuck financially because they lack opportunity…they’re stuck because of patterns, mindset, and survival mode thinking that quietly shape their daily decisions.
In this episode, we’re talking about a powerful reset around money mindset, discipline, and what it actually means to raise your standards as a woman of value.
So many of us are living in a cycle of overwhelm, emotional spending, avoidance, and inconsistency, not because we don’t want better, but because we’ve normalized reacting instead of intentionally building.
We unpack what it looks like to shift out of survival mode and begin choosing peace over pressure, intention over impulse, and long-term freedom over temporary comfort.
You’ll walk away with clarity around:
Why survival mode keeps you financially stuck
How impulsive decisions create long-term stress
What it means to raise your standards with money
Why discipline is actually a form of self-respect
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or inconsistent with your finances, this episode will help you reset your mindset and realign with the woman you’re becoming.
Because a woman of value doesn’t just want more, she builds differently.

128 | How to Reset Your Life Before Summer: Boundaries, Distractions & Building Healthy Momentum

As we come to the end of May, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, distracted, and convinced that there’s “no time” to focus on yourself, your goals, or your growth. Life gets busy, responsibilities pile up, and before you know it, your intentions get pushed to the side.
In this episode, I’m sharing a much-needed reset conversation we had inside the Joyful Fit Life community, one that helped us pause, reflect, and realign with what truly matters.
This is your invitation to reset with us.
We walk through four powerful reflection questions that will help you get honest, clear, and intentional about your current season:
What is one area of growth you’ve seen in yourself? (nothing is too small)
What does a healthy “yes” look like for you in this season?
What does a healthy “no” look like for you in this season?
Where are you being distracted, and what is pulling you away from your vision, goals, or intentions?
This episode is a reminder that you don’t need to wait for a new year, a new month, or a “perfect time” to reset. You can choose alignment right now.
If you’ve been feeling scattered, overwhelmed, or like you’re losing momentum, this conversation will help you come back to yourself, your standards, and your direction.
Let’s keep going together. Let’s build momentum. Because that is who we were created to be.

After a powerful 5-part series sharing real stories of transformation inside the Joyful Fit Life community, this episode is a pause… a reset… a return.
No strategies.No productivity tips.No self-improvement pressure.
Just Jesus.

Through scripture, prayer, and quiet reflection, this episode is designed to help you:
Release the pressure to strive and perform
Reconnect with God as your source of peace, strength, and direction
Be reminded that you were never meant to do life alone
Let this be your moment to slow down, breathe, and sit in His presence.
Because sometimes… the most powerful thing you can do is come back to the One who sustains it all.
