11 | When You Don’t Feel Like Showing Up-But God Says Go

This week, I wrestled with the very struggles I’ve been teaching about—negative self-talk, procrastination, toxic distractions, and emotional overwhelm. Honestly? I didn’t even want to record this episode. But I knew that someone out there—maybe you—needed to hear this.

In today’s raw and real conversation, I’m sharing what it looked like to walk through spiritual resistance, how a beautiful anniversary trip with my husband stirred up some unexpected memories, and why I chose to show up anyway—despite the mess.

You’ll hear:

• Why rest and rhythm in marriage matter so deeply
• How God can bring old memories to the surface for healing
• What to do when lies from the past start to take over your thoughts
• Three simple tools to help reset your mindset and reconnect with your purpose
• A powerful reminder from Luke 11:9 and Matthew 7:7

Whether you’re in a season of joy, pain, or both—this episode is your reminder that God sees you, hears you, and has not forgotten your purpose.

Blessings, Leslie
