Episode 16: Today on The EducateHer’s Sanctuary, we’re switching things up just a bit. I’m sharing Day 1 from a powerful devotional I found on the Bible App — one that deeply aligns with where I am in life right now and the conversations we’ve been having on purpose, focus, and faith.

After walking through my own journey of loss and rebuilding — from divorce to relocating and redefining what life looks like — this devotional hit home in a major way. In this episode, I reflect on what it really means to clear space, let God lead, and walk fully in your purpose.
