Finding Your Purpose After a Hard Season | Crisha Bowen on Identity, Kingdom Business & Trusting God's Plan

Have you been through a hard season that left you feeling lost, disconnected from yourself, and quietly wondering, did my calling survive this? Maybe you've been performing for everyone around you, wearing the mask of having it together, while on the inside you can't answer one simple question: Who am I?

If that's you, this episode was made for you.

In this conversation, I sit down with Crisha Bowen — business growth strategist, author, and founder of Purpose Diaries LLC — who knows exactly what it feels like to look the part on the outside while being completely lost on the inside. Growing up as a pastor's kid, Crisha had the credentials, the environment, and the expectations — but none of it answered the question God was asking her: Crisha, who are you?

What followed was a powerful journey of purpose discovery, radical obedience, and learning to build a Kingdom business with God at the center, not just at the beginning.

This is the conversation for the Christian woman who feels disqualified by her hard season, who has been rebuilding her confidence and her life, and who knows God is calling her into business but fear keeps her from taking the first step.

In This Episode We Cover:

- How Crisha went from performance-driven faith to a real, personal relationship with God - The moment God answered her identity crisis — audibly — and what she did next - Why your purpose was never lost — it was always in you, waiting to be uncovered - How she coached 300 women in one year and ended up with $0 — and what that taught her about Kingdom prosperity - Pain → Principle → Program → Product: her framework for turning your hard season into a sustainable business - What building a faith-led business actually looks like when God is truly at the center - Why your hard season is not your disqualification — it is your development - What a Called CEO truly is and why you are the gift to every room you walk into - How to trust God's GPS and why rerouting is not failure, it is faithfulness

Quotable Moments:

“Purpose is not found,it's always there. It's discovered when we begin to uncover who we really are."— Crisha Bowen

“Pain teaches us principle. Principle becomes program. Program becomes product. Product becomes provision."— Crisha Bowen

“You don't get the job. The job gets you. You are the gift."— Crisha Bowen

“Some of us remain paralyzed not taking the first step — so there's nothing to reroute because we didn't even move."— Crisha Bowen
