Episode notes
As a new year approaches, many Christian professional women feel called to set intentions, yet traditional resolutions often lead to frustration and burnout (by as early as February or March), rather than renewal. If this happened to you, you are not alone! When energy fades, or prayers feel dry, it’s not a personal failure - it’s a sign that goals rooted only in performance need deeper alignment with God. This week, I invite you to shift from only outcome-driven resolutions to value-based, God-centered intentions, that engage both faith, your dreams, and God. Anchored in Scripture and supported by psychology, these intentions last longer because they flow from meaning, prayer, and trust that God is already at work in us. Through simple, prayerful steps, I invite you to pursue 2026 with grace and intention. You got this! In today's episode, I will share with you: ⭐️ A few KEY psychological concepts about why intentions are important - especially coming from your wise self - which for us Christians, is the image of God. ⭐️ Some beautiful bible verses to anchor you along the way. ⭐️ Clear reflection questions to help you start the year.
