Summary

Sis, this one goes straight to the heart. A Mind Your Business question about career rejection sends Sarah into a real talk moment about how we handle the "no" we didn't see coming. Because yes, rejection can be redirection… but that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt. SJR gets honest about waiting on God when He feels quiet, the pressure to have it all figured out, and how easily we turn our relationship with God into a performance review instead of a place of refuge.

In true Woman Evolve fashion, Sarah brings scripture, life, laughter, and love into a reminder we all need: before you get the next command, God wants you in His presence. Not rushed. Not perfect. Not pretending. Just present. This episode is for every woman navigating transition, healing from disappointment, or learning to trust God in the in-between. Tap in and let your heart catch the breath your mind has been begging for.

1:09.7	And then even when I came back, I guess my sinuses got in flames. I had a sinus that you grew up and on a struggle bus. But I got a bus pass. I'm getting off the struggle bus because I got a good old antibiotic and some probiotics and some herbs and the sinus rinse. And I'm fighting back in Jesus' name. But I feel rested. At first I was a
1:29.5	little discouraged because I'm like, dang, I can't catch a break. But I am feeling better,
1:34.1	feeling rested. And I'm looking forward to spending this week with my kids are home from school.
