Have you ever considered that there’s someone waiting for your dream to come alive?
Several years ago, Yohonna Smith began to feel a “divine burden.” She sensed there was something new God was prompting her to do with her time and her desire to nurture friendships among women. Her kids were getting older. She had more time to dream. But what was it?
IF YOU’VE ever felt uncomfortable about pursuing your dream, THIS IS THE EPISODE FOR YOU!
She started by testing out ideas in her head, trying them on for size like a new hat. Although she was listening to a lot of podcasts, starting her own was not on her radar.
In fact, she felt a lot of resistance and internal pushback when the idea first popped into her head. But there was a tipping point where she finally said yes to this new possibility that felt outside her comfort zone.
In this episode you’ll learn:
How Yohonna’s dream started from her own personal desires for more girl-time in her life
About the fears that held her back from beginning,
And a powerful lesson of shifting from taking in information to becoming a contributor and spiritual mother to others
Yohonna is so easy to listen to – you are going to love her soothing voice – but even more, I pray that her story of surrender, obedience, and paying attention to God as He was nudging her into something more will be a sweet encouragement to you today!
