There are seasons when you know something is changing inside you — but it doesn’t look like progress the way you expected. It doesn’t look like clarity, momentum, or feeling better. Instead, it looks quieter. Slower. Less measurable.

In this episode, Kim sits with the disorientation that comes when the old ways of measuring growth stop working. Through stories of faith, health, and grief, she reflects on what it means to heal without a scoreboard — to stay present when clarity hasn’t returned yet, and to trust that God is still at work beneath the surface.

This is a conversation for anyone who is still showing up, still trying, still trusting — but wondering how to tell if they’re “doing okay” in a season that can’t be quantified.

Expanded Show Notes

In this long-form episode, Kim explores the truth that not all growth looks like improvement — and how deeply unsettling that can feel when you’ve lived much of your life guided by outcomes, progress markers, or visible results.

Through reflections on:

• a long infertility journey and learning to surrender outcomes without losing faith
• redefining health beyond numbers on a scale
• grieving the loss of her dad and releasing the pressure to “heal correctly”

Kim names what happens when the old systems we relied on for reassurance fall apart.

This episode invites listeners to consider:

• what it means to live without a scoreboard
• how healing can remove clarity before it restores direction
• why quieter, less impressive seasons may actually be forming something deeper

If you’re in a place where growth feels hard to identify, progress feels unclear, or healing doesn’t look the way you thought it would — this episode offers companionship, honesty, and permission to stay.
