Into The Unknown: The Realities (& Lessons) of Navigating "Transition Anxiety" | Ep. 62

Hey friends! We. Are. BACK!!!

Oh man, these past few months have been FULL of transitions—pregnancy updates, Alex stepping back into corporate life, deepening our spiritual foundations—and it's all been a mix of both ups and downs.

We’re excited to catch up with you all, share some real-life real-TIME lessons we've been learning along the way, and dig into the messiness of transitions and the uncertainties of not knowing what’s ahead or what to do next...

If you’re feeling the pull to step into something new, but perhaps are holding back because of fear or uncertainty... we get it. We talk through the tension of wanting to be somewhere else in life but feeling stuck where you are right now—and what we've found personally helpful in gaining clarity around how/where God is leading AND having internal peace amidst all the external uncertainties.

  • How to know if your job has become an idol

  • The unique challenges female leaders face, both in the marketplace & ministry

  • How to approach "self-advocacy" through a faith-based perspective

  • Tips for making hard decisions wisely

  • What Peggy would do differently if she could go back, as one of the only few female leaders in the organization

Episode 51: Finishing Well: What I Learned From Leaving My Corporate Job

After nearly a decade in corporate tech, Alex very recently transitioned out to pursue something completely new... something that we've both felt God has been "setting up" for a while now!

Just 3 days after leaving his job, Alex shares the very real and raw challenges, obstacles, and fears he experienced in taking this big step of faith - but also what God showed and convicted him of in the process.

We also talk about the real temptation to "quiet quit" - and what ended up happening when Alex sensed God calling him to finish well and be bolder in ministering to his co-workers and managers.

We pray that these reflections would encourage you and inspire you with practical ideas for ways to be salt and light in your own workplace, spheres of influence, and transitional seasons, too!
