You’ve Been Becoming All Along: Make Room for Joy, Growth & the Life You Were Meant to Live

Have you ever looked at your life and thought, "I should be further along by now" or "I'm tired of starting over?" If so, this episode is for you.

In this deeply honest and soul-stirring conversation, Hazel is joined by returning guest Keondra (first featured in Episode 66) for a powerful exploration of personal growth, emotional healing, and stepping into your next season with intention and joy. This episode is a continuation of the journey that began with our most downloaded conversation—and it’s even more raw, freeing, and transformational.

Together, Hazel and Keondra unpack what it really means to "spiral upward"—to evolve, even through confusion, grief, change, or uncertainty. They discuss how many of us live life like a rough draft—always editing, doubting, or deleting parts of ourselves—when the truth is, we’ve been becoming all along. The seasons you thought were wasted were actually planting seeds. The moments you wanted to hide are now the foundation of your healing. This is the episode where we stop shrinking, stop apologizing, and start reclaiming our joy without needing everything to be perfect.

Inside this episode, we talk about:
– Why your personal growth doesn’t need to look like a highlight reel to be valid
– How to recognize emotional clutter and clear space for what really matters
– What it means to transition from surviving to thriving in your own life
– Signs you’re blooming, even when it feels like you’re behind
– The importance of being proud of yourself in real time, not just in hindsight
– How letting go of who you thought you had to be creates space for who you actually are
– The connection between emotional healing, purpose, and joy
– What happens when we stop editing our journey and start trusting it instead

This episode is especially for anyone navigating change, stepping into a new chapter, or dealing with the tension between “still becoming” and “already enough.” Whether you’ve been feeling stuck in self-doubt, emotionally overwhelmed, or just tired of waiting for the right moment to be happy, this conversation is your reminder: You don’t need to be a new version of yourself to live a new season. You just need to give yourself permission to feel proud, feel ready, and feel joy—now.

Listen if you’ve ever asked:
– What do I need to let go of emotionally to grow?
– Why does it feel like I’m always in transition?
– How do I embrace the season I’m in instead of rushing past it?
– What does it look like to truly choose joy and not just wait for it to happen?

This is one of those episodes you’ll want to come back to. It’s part motivation, part mindset reset, and all real talk—just like the moments we often keep to ourselves. Keondra’s return brings warmth, wisdom, and laughter, while Hazel offers heartfelt reflections that

Obedience Without Clarity — Trusting Divine Timing in the Messy Middle

Have you ever followed a spiritual nudge, only to find yourself standing in stillness, wondering if you got it wrong?

Welcome to the messy middle — that sacred space between obedience and visible outcomes.
It’s quiet here. Uncomfortable. Often misinterpreted as failure.
But what if this pause isn’t punishment... it’s preparation?

In this episode of It’s the Human Experience, we’re talking about what no one tells you:
That you don’t reap what you sow in the same season.
That shame will try to silence you right before your purpose breaks through.
And that divine timing isn’t late — it’s strategic.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why obedience without clarity is one of the most misunderstood parts of growth
• How to release shame, which attacks identity — not behavior — and keeps you stuck
• The truth about fear spirals, and why fear often shows up right before breakthrough
• The importance of letting go of societal timelines and being seen “in process”
• A powerful reminder: You are not behind. You are being positioned.

✨ Share this if…

• You’ve been in a season of obedience with no results — and it’s messing with your confidence
• You’re tired of shame making you question your worth or readiness
• You’re building, stretching, healing — and just need to know you’re not alone

🔜 What’s next?

Starting next episode, we’re bringing on transformational guests who live what we talk about:
Faith. Fear. Obedience. Identity. And purpose that changes lives.

So stay tuned, stay grounded, and stay subscribed.
This next chapter? It’s going to stretch you… in all the right ways.

🎙️ Press play and meet yourself in the messy middle. You’re not lost. You’re being led.
