The #1 struggle of try-hard girls is living out of our identity in Christ. When we don’t operate from this foundational truth, we are prone to:
- Being rushed and feeling frantic on the inside,
- Trying to do All The Things,
- Getting caught up in perfectionism + people-pleasing,
- And wondering if we’re doing enough.
We’re kicking off a new series today called Get Unstuck. In this series, we’ll tackle where try-hard girls struggle most:
- Our identity in Christ,
- Our thought-life,
- Shame,
- And expectations.
To help us get unstuck with false beliefs about our identity, author Jen Babakhan joins the show! In this interview, Jen shares with us:
- Why you struggle with accepting your identity in Christ,
- How to be honest with God,
- And ways to find your tribe.
