25. I was Unemployed and in an Identity Crisis (and how God helped me source my identity in Him and not my work)

Today I’m sharing something I’ve never done publicly (and not often privately either). On this episode, you’ll hear me get into the details of why I suddenly left a job I loved, without having another job lined up and how that had a massive impact on my identity when I couldn’t find work for years.

In this episode you’ll hear:

1. What profound thing a hairdresser spoke over me during my years of unemployment

2. A time I let fear make my decisions about work and then deeply regretted it

3. The reason I had to leave a great job, with no other work in place to transition into

4. How I set myself up to hear from God of what to do next

5. Practical ways God has taught me to label myself as He labels me

6. A powerful concept my husband shared with me, to not be ashamed of having a non typical job and work hours
