Cynthia Culver spent seven years in the corporate world before returning to school for a M.A. in Biblical Counseling from Dallas Theological Seminary and her LPC license. She split the next 10 years working for Watermark Community Church and in private practice. Now, Cynthia has a coaching practice called Un+Stuck, created to help people who are overwhelmed by their responsibilities and a sense of angst because they feel aimless and unintentional about their lives. It's her passion to help people gain clarity and develop a plan to live out what matters to them.

IF YOU HAVE EVER PURSUED A DREAM AND FELT DEFEATED BY THE LACK OF RESULTS, THIS IS THE EPISODE FOR YOU.

This interview is chock-full of wisdom and strategies for taking the next step toward your dream. Cynthia shares how a desire for perfection or immediate results sabotaged her forward progress in the past. She talks about uncovering the joy to be found in living out of who God made her to be, despite her success or failure, which has grown her trust that He is there in both. Even though she’s done a lot of public speaking in her life, she confesses to feelings of panic and anxiety recently and shares how God is using this struggle to draw her closer to Him.

I’m grateful for the little coaching session this episode turned out to be and feel challenged, yet again, to step out of what’s comfortable to try new and difficult things because that’s how we grow.
