Stephanie Pletka’s superpower is encouraging other women. She desires to support the busy, overwhelmed mom who feels held hostage by other people’s expectations of her. In this final interview of Season Seven, I hope you’ll laugh at Stephanie’s honest storytelling, be encouraged by her grace-filled presence, throw off all the ridiculous expectations and give yourself permission to be the woman God created you to be.
IF YOU’RE EXHAUSTED BY THE COMPARISON GAME, THIS IS THE EPISODE FOR YOU.
As we bring Season Seven to a close, may this final interview and Stephanie’s story serve a reminder that you don’t need anyone’s permission other than God to pursue your dream. You don’t have to “get certified” or “graduate first.” You don’t need a degree or diploma. All you need is a heart devoted to the Lord and a willingness to be obedient to what He’s called you to, even when it flies in the face of everything the world is telling you.
Stephanie’s stories were a reminder to me that I don’t have to be perfect or even get it right all the time. I just have to be faithful to Him and His calling, trusting that He will walk with me through the fire and the failures and He is the source of my identity, not my performance (good or bad).
As you join us in this conversation, I hope you’ll pay attention to the following:
The importance of giving yourself breathing room.
Why we need to partner with each other rather than comparing ourselves to others.
How prone we are to believe we’re not enough.
And her tips on how to “own the morning” so you can “own the day.”
