What if the seasons that feel uncertain, uncomfortable, or even unwanted are actually the places where God is doing His deepest work?

In this powerful and personal conversation, Jesica sits down with Dr. Diamond Howell to explore what it looks like to trust God in the middle of transitions. Together, they unpack surrender, identity, and how to walk open-handed with Jesus—even when you don’t have all the answers.

Dr. Diamond shares her journey from paraprofessional to educator, leader, and now a wellness advocate supporting school staff through social-emotional health. Through her story, you’ll be reminded that nothing is wasted and that God is faithfully weaving every part of your story for His glory.

If you’ve been feeling stretched, uncertain, or weary this season, this episode will encourage you to pause, breathe, and trust that God is still writing something beautiful.

Key Encouragement: You are not behind. You are not off track. God is using every part of your story. Even in the unknown, you can trust: nothing is wasted.
