Becoming Fully You, Out Loud

The year God told me to stop asking

This week, I am taking you through the four ways God has disrupted my prayer life! From feeling stuck and anxious, yet looking discerning, to freedom in conversation and the courage to move.

Believers are hardwired to expect more

I sit down with Wendy Mann to talk about faith, disappointment, calling, and learning to follow Jesus when life hasn't unfolded as expected. After spending many years in Bedford, Wendy recently made the surprising move to Northern Ireland, stepping into a new season of trusting God's leading, learning that He is a good shepherd We discuss: • Why followers of Jesus are "hardwired to expect more" • Processing disappointment without losing hope • Learning to recognise the voice of the Holy Spirit • Creating space for God's presence in everyday life • Why you don't need the whole plan, just the next faithful step • How community helps us become more fully ourselves If you've ever felt there must be more to your faith, wrestled with disappointment, or wondered whether it's too late to step into what God has placed on your heart, this conversation is for you.

Calling: is it even Biblical?

Many of the women that I work with find themselves concerned about the topic of calling. They don't want to look selfish or be following after their own heart. The thing is, we've confused this and made it more complicated than it is. Here is a small snippet of thinkng around one of the most popular concerns - is it even biblical?

Becoming Fully You, Out Loud

Have you ever felt caught between wanting to become all God created you to be… and feeling afraid of being “too much”? In this episode, I sit down with Jojo Kearney (@thrivewithjojo) in a raw, unedited conversation exploring courage, authenticity, identity, self-expression, and what it means to stop shrinking yourself to fit other people’s expectations. Together we unpack: • the pressure many women feel to stay small, pleasing, or “acceptable” • why courage is something we step into, not something we wait for • how faith, nervous systems, identity, and confidence all intertwine • the freedom of letting go of old labels and outdated versions of yourself • and why the parts of you you’ve been told are “too much” may actually point towards purpose We also dive into something I call “Holy Girl Complex” and the subtle ways Christian women can carry shame, fear of disappointing God, and pressure to perform perfection instead of living from freedom, wisdom, and relationship. Although Jojo does not share my faith background, this conversation beautifully models what it looks like to pursue truth, wholeheartedness, courage, and becoming from different perspectives with deep respect and honesty. If you’ve been longing to live more fully, show up more boldly, and stop apologising for the way God created you… this episode will meet you there.

Stepping into Gods calling even when it's inconvenient

This is for you if: You've got dreams and promises that feel inconvenient to step into right now. The timing doesn't make sense. It feels too chaotic, too flooded. But what if this is your "step in" moment? I'm stepping into the book of Joshua with you today, with notes from a recent preach and stories from my current reality We're at the Jordan River. It's flooded. Completely uncrossable. God's people could wait a few weeks for it to calm down, which would make sense, right? But God says: "Arise. Step in." If you are prone to waiting until it makes sense, until it feels ready. I hear you, that was me too But what if obedience in action reveals the miracle? What if our souls find rest when our soles start moving? The river HAD to be crossed when it was flooded because it established identity, told a story, and grew faith for what was to come. Your inconvenient moment might be the exact setup for God to show up. If you're ready to arise and step into what God has for you, I'd love to support you through May Moves [instagram.com/fullyloucoaching] or an Arise Day [arise.fullylou.co.uk] in coaching, let's talk about your next right step.
