In this new episode, I invite you to journey with me through one of the most freeing lessons I’ve learned—releasing control and trusting God completely.     As women of purpose, we often try to hold everything together—our goals, our families, our dreams—believing that if we just do more, push harder, or plan better, we’ll finally find peace. But the truth is, real peace comes when we let go and let God lead.     In this episode, I share how surrendering my need for perfection and control opened the door to deeper faith, self-love, and divine guidance. When I shifted from chasing achievements to aligning with God’s will, I began to experience a calm confidence that no worldly success could give.     Through personal stories and biblical reflections, I encourage you to stop striving and start surrendering—to allow God to direct your path, even when the outcome isn’t clear. This isn’t about giving up—it’s about gaining alignment, impact, and peace.     💡 Key Takeaways * True peace begins where control ends. * Faith, not perfection, is the foundation of a fulfilling life. * Releasing control allows God’s guidance to take root. * The Bible teaches us to prioritize eternal impact over temporary success. * Self-love grows when we trust in divine timing and grace.   🙏 Action Steps * Reflect on one area of your life where you’re holding too tightly—pray for strength to release it. * Replace one daily goal focused on “doing” with a moment of prayer or Scripture reading. * Journal about what control means to you and how faith can reshape that relationship. * Focus on one person you can bless today through love or encouragement. * End your day by thanking God for leading, even when you can’t see the full picture.     Resources & Links * Follow Petia on Instagram: @petiakolibova • Listen to more episodes of Made for Impact on Apple Podcasts or your favorite app

In this heartfelt episode of Made for Impact, I open up about one of the most transformative chapters of my journey—healing my relationship with my mother and deepening my faith through the teachings of the Bible.     For years, I searched for peace and wholeness through new-age healing practices, crystals, and energy work. While those tools brought moments of relief, I found true, lasting transformation when I turned to God’s Word. Through Scripture, I began to see myself—and my loved ones—with new eyes, filled with compassion, patience, and grace.     As a daughter, a mother, and a believer still growing in faith, I share how the Bible has become my daily anchor. Whether it’s in moments of frustration with my little girl or in conversations that once felt heavy with my mom, God’s Word has softened my heart and reminded me what love truly looks like.     If you’ve ever wrestled with family wounds, questioned your faith, or sought peace through healing practices that left you still longing for more—this episode will meet you where you are. It’s an invitation to rediscover relationship healing, personal growth, and holistic parenting through the gentle yet powerful guidance of God’s truth.     💡 Key Takeaways * True healing begins when we invite God into our relationships. * Daily Bible teachings can transform how we love, parent, and forgive. * Resistance often precedes revelation—trust the process. * Holistic growth includes emotional, spiritual, and relational healing. * Faith isn’t about perfection; it’s about allowing grace to lead. 🙏 Action Steps * Dedicate 10 minutes each day this week to reading Scripture about love and forgiveness. * Write a letter (you don’t have to send it) to someone you’re ready to forgive. * Reflect on where God is inviting you to replace control with compassion. * Practice one act of kindness toward a family member who challenges you. * Pray for patience and peace in your parenting or family relationships.   Resources & Links * Follow Petia on Instagram: @petiakolibova • Listen to more episodes of Made for Impact on Apple Podcasts or your favorite app

In this powerful episode, I open my heart about what it truly means to step out of your comfort zone and trust God’s calling on your life.   It all started with a moment at the gym—one that reminded me how easily we can get attached to comfort, even when our soul is craving growth. Just like a baby eagle learning to fly, we are sometimes pushed by God into discomfort so we can discover the strength and purpose He’s placed within us.   I share how following Jesus doesn’t necessarily make life easier—but it makes it richer, fuller, and more meaningful. When you say “yes” to God’s plan, you might face challenges, resistance, or even fear—but through it all, He’s shaping you for something greater.   This episode is for the woman who’s been praying for clarity, who’s afraid to take the next step, or who’s tired of waiting for a detailed roadmap. I want to remind you: you don’t need to see the full plan to trust the path. Faith grows in the spaces where certainty ends.     💡 Key Takeaways * Growth begins where comfort ends. * Following Jesus brings meaning, not ease—and that’s a beautiful thing. * Discomfort is divine preparation for purpose. * Like the Israelites leaving Egypt, God calls us to trust even without knowing what’s next. * Faith isn’t built through clarity—it’s built through surrender.     🙏 Action Steps * Identify one area of your life where you’ve been holding on to comfort. Ask God to help you release it. * Write down a recent moment when discomfort led to unexpected growth. * Reflect on a Bible story where faith triumphed over fear—what can you learn from it? * Take one brave step this week toward the thing God’s been calling you to do. * Pray daily for the courage to trust without seeing the full plan.   Resources & Links * Follow Petia on Instagram: @petiakolibova • Listen to more episodes of Made for Impact on Apple Podcasts or your favorite app
