What if that unfinished dream isn’t a failure, but a pause with a purpose? In Part Two of this coaching session, Jerrod opens up about his journey toward completing a doctorate in social work, the moment life got in the way, and the internal weight he’s carried ever since. I speak directly to the shame that can come with unfinished goals, the lies we tell ourselves when things don’t go according to plan, and the truth about what it really means to “complete” something. This episode will speak to anyone who’s ever had to stop, shift, or reframe the story they’ve been carrying.
The world may reward completion, but God often works in the pause. Your worth is not on hold, just your timeline.
Topics I Cover:
- Why we sometimes link our worth to academic or professional success
- The emotional toll of pausing a dream, especially when you’re used to achievement
- How shame shows up as identity (and why that’s not the truth)
- The difference between failure and life simply happening
- How to ask for help - from your school, your network, or even ChatGPT
- Why trusting the pause is sometimes the real test
- What to say to yourself when you feel like “an incomplete”
This week’s affirmation:
“ You are not an incompleter.”
