5: The Importance of Knowing Your Season

Episode Summary

Hey friends, it's been a minute!

After a full season of moving and transitioning into a new rhythm with my husband’s job, I’m slowly making my way back behind the mic. Right now, my recording capacity is limited, so this episode was created with minimal edits and a whole lot of grace. But I didn’t want to wait for perfect conditions to share what’s been sitting on my heart.

In this episode of The Life Designer Podcast, we're talking about knowing your season—not just identifying it, but honoring it. Whether you're in a season of rebuilding, resting, planting, or waiting, I hope this conversation meets you with the gentleness and clarity your heart needs.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

• My own experience of navigating a slow and quiet season

• The pressures that come from social media and comparison

• The biblical reminder from Ecclesiastes 3:1 that there’s a time for everything

• Gentle ways to discern your current season with God’s help

• Encouragement to stop hustling out of the now and start stewarding what is

🌿 You are not behind. You are not buried. You are being planted.

Mentioned in this episode:

• The Seasons of God: How the Shifting Patterns of Your Life Reveal His Purposes for You by Richard Blackaby¹

• Now and Not Yet by Ruth Chou Simons

• Journaling Through Your Season Prompts

For paid subscribers, I’ve created a companion reflection titled “Journaling Through Your Season”—a gentle space to help you process what season you’re in, what God might be doing in it, and how you can partner with that work. You’ll find the journaling prompts in the post below.

If this episode encouraged you, would you consider sharing it with a friend who might need it too?

And as always, thank you for being here. In this season, grace is making room for me to show up differently. I’m so grateful I get to walk with you through it.
