Summary
If you’ve ever felt like you’re living in the in-between, trying to lead with purpose while questioning your pace, this conversation is for you. Sarah Jakes Roberts sits down with global leader and powerhouse Jo Saxton to unpack what freedom really means when life feels uncertain, leadership gets heavy, and identity feels up for grabs. From childhood wounds to uncharted seasons, from calling to capacity, these two women keep it real about how faith, rest, and community are keys to staying grounded and free. Jo shares her personal story of shedding old beliefs and letting God rewrite her narrative, piece by piece, mirror by mirror. Together, they talk about prophetic leadership, discernment, and how even your “I don’t know” can be holy. It’s not too late, sis. Your freedom is still available. And this episode? Whew. It’ll meet you right where you are.
