Do you ever feel like you’re hustling for God’s approval — trying to do all the right things, yet still running on empty?

In this powerful episode of Spirit Filled Girl Talk, Sarah and Satin sit down with Nicole Roth, a Health Restoration and Joy Coach, for a refreshing, Spirit-led conversation about grace, identity, and healing. Nicole vulnerably shares her story of burnout, striving, and performance-based faith — and how surrender to God transformed her life from exhaustion to joy.

Through her signature “Joy Quotient” process, Nicole reveals how she learned to release perfectionism, receive God’s grace, and walk in faith, obedience, and trust in God’s plan — not through effort, but through intimacy with Jesus.

If you’re a Christian woman weary from doing more and feeling less, this conversation will remind you that grace is already yours. You’ll discover how surrender to God opens the door to spiritual growth, emotional healing, and Kingdom purpose.

💬 In This Episode, We Talk About:

• How perfectionism and performance can block spiritual growth

• What it means to surrender to God and let His grace do the transforming

• The link between burnout, obedience, and misplaced identity

• Why grace — not striving — is the fuel for true healing and peace

• How to experience holistic health, joy, and wholeness in Christ

✨ Key Takeaways:

• Striving drains; surrender restores.

• Spiritual growth begins where self-reliance ends.
