Following through on goals isn’t about willpower — it’s about courage, healing, and alignment.

In this episode, we explore why following through feels so difficult for women who have experienced trauma, and how faith and neuroscience work together to help us move forward even when fear is present.

You’ll learn how your nervous system impacts motivation, how God designed your body to support courage, and why small, faithful steps create lasting transformation. We talk about replacing fear-based patterns with truth, regulating stress, and building sustainable rhythms that support obedience and peace.

This episode is for the woman who knows God is calling her forward — but needs support to take the next step.
