Ep 23 - Busyness Will Steal Your Inner Peace: The Hidden Enemy of Contentment

Ep 27 - Trying to Discover God's Plan on Your Own Will Not Give You the Clarity You Want

Have you been circling your calling, certain that if you just drive a little harder, you will finally figure it all out? In this episode, Joyce shares a getting-lost-in-Denver story that mirrors what so many purpose-driven women experience. You can see the destination, yet you cannot seem to reach it on your own strength. This conversation reframes that struggle and shows you where real clarity actually comes from, and why it grows out of closeness with God rather than striving. What you will discover in this episode: * Why leaning on your own understanding keeps you circling instead of finding clear direction * How asking God for wisdom opens the door to the clarity you have been chasing * Why God shares His direction with those who draw near rather than those striving from a distance * How closeness with God brings the clarity that striving never could Resources Episode 15 – When You're Forcing What God Hasn't Released [https://www.thepurposealignedwoman.com/15] - https://www.thepurposealignedwoman.com/15 Blog Post – A Shift From Striving To Resting In God [https://www.thepurposealignedwoman.com/ep-15-when-youre-forcing-what-god-hasnt-released/]- https://herrichlife.com/a-shift-from-striving-to-resting-in-god/ The Purpose Aligned Woman Insider Newsletter [https://www.herrichlife.kit.com/newsletter] - https://www.herrichlife.kit.com/newsletter   Let’s Connect 👉 Contact: podcast@thepurposealignedwoman.com [podcast@thepurposealignedwoman.com] 👉 Facebook Group: Christian Women Living Their Calling [https://www.facebook.com/groups/christianwomenlivingtheircalling] - https://www.facebook.com/groups/christianwomenlivingtheircalling [https://www.facebook.com/groups/christianwomenlivingtheircalling] 👉Follow me on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/herrichlife](https://www.instagram.com/herrichlife) for daily encouragement, biblical wisdom, and purpose-aligned living tips.

Ep 26 - Why the Women with the Most Peace of Mind Aren't the Ones with All the Answers

Have you ever told yourself that if you could just get the answers, if you could just see how it all turns out, then you would finally have some peace? If so, this episode is for you. In this conversation, Joyce shares what twenty years of coaching and teaching Christian women have taught her about peace and certainty. Almost every woman she has ever sat with wants the same thing, which is to know all the answers before she takes a single step. She pictures it like a woman who sets a folded map on the table and refuses to move until the whole route is traced out in front of her. The hard part is that God rarely opens the whole map at once. This episode is a freeing reminder that you can have peace of mind while you are still waiting for clarity about your God-given calling. Peace does not live on the far side of certainty. It’s available to you right now, in the middle of the not knowing, when you make one quiet choice at the crossroads to trust God instead of focusing on what you can’t see yet.

Ep 25 - This is Why You Keep Questioning Your Calling (And What God Actually Wants You to Know)

Have you ever stood right at the doorway of something you believed God was asking you to do, only to feel your courage drain away? You sensed the nudge and felt the pull on your heart, but that small, persistent voice kept whispering, "Are you sure? Are you really the right one for this?" If that question has been following you around, this episode is your invitation to put it to rest for good. In this heart-to-heart conversation, Joyce takes you back to the season she left the bench after twenty-one years in the legal profession, fully knowing God had called her to launch an online ministry, and still finding herself building a case against her own assignment. She shares the word the Holy Spirit gave her that changed everything about how she saw her calling, and she unpacks why so many faithful, capable women keep circling back to the same doubt. Then we settle what God actually wants His daughter to know, and she leaves you with a simple three-day Purpose Clarity Challenge you can start right away. If you've been quietly questioning whether you really heard God, pull up a chair, friend. This one is for you.

Ep 24 - Do You Trust in God's Plan or Are You Asking Him to Bless Yours?

Is the plan you are praying over truly God's plan, or is it yours with His name on it? In this episode, Joyce gets refreshingly honest about what it really means to trust God with your calling, your circumstances, and your future. Drawing from her own story of prolonging a painful season by insisting on her own strategy, Joyce walks us through the critical difference between surrendering to God's plan and simply asking Him to cosign ours. If you are tired of waiting, confused about your calling, or frustrated that nothing seems to be working, this episode is for you.

Have you been running so fast that you forgot to stop and refuel?

Joyce shares why busyness is the hidden enemy of contentment, what God's Word says about rest and peace, and how to begin protecting your inner life before burnout from busyness forces you to stop.
