A job can end in a single meeting, but the identity you built around it doesn’t disappear that fast. We’re talking about the kind of loss that doesn’t just change your schedule, it shakes your sense of self and makes you ask the question you don’t always want to say out loud: “God, if You’ve got something better, why does this hurt so much?”

We’re joined by Monica Wilson, a mother and woman of faith whose life took a major, unexpected turn after 18 years in the banking and finance industry. Monica shares what her role meant to her, how easy it was to lead with a title instead of identity in Christ, and what happened when a traffic stop turned into a termination. We walk through the emotional reality of sudden career transition, from shock and fear to the slow work of rebuilding, and we also get practical about what helps: prayer, wise counsel, advocating for yourself, budgeting, and creating healthy structure when the future feels uncertain.

As the conversation unfolds, Monica points to the deep lessons God taught her in the in-between season, including the peace that comes from knowing God will provide and the anchor of Romans 8:28. We also talk motherhood, being present for your kids, caring for aging parents, and how new purpose can be born through volunteering, mentoring, and stepping out of your comfort zone. Monica’s online ministry, Heavenly Love Vibes, is a powerful example of how a closed door can become a calling you never planned.

If you’ve been grieving a loss or trying to trust God while life feels unsteady, listen all the way through and share it with someone who needs hope. Subscribe, leave a review, and tell us what part of the in-between season you’re walking through right now.
