Have you ever laid awake at night wondering if your purpose will always stay a dream?

Does it feel just close enough to see… but still out of reach?

Have you caught yourself asking, Will this ever become real for me?

Those late-night thoughts that creep in — the doubt, the uncertainty — I’ve been there. In today’s conversation, we’re diving into why purpose can feel distant when you’re discerning God’s plan, and what may actually be happening beneath the surface.

If you’ve been wrestling with doubt, struggling to trust in God, or wondering why your heart feels unsettled when you think about your purpose, this episode is for you. I’m sharing what may really be going on when a dream feels far away — and the shift that changes how you see it.

Grab the laundry, pop in your earbuds, and let’s walk through this together.

I pray that this episode blesses and encourages you!

Michelle
