In this episode, Petia invites you into a deeply honest and vulnerable conversation about purpose, calling, and the way God gently unfolds what we’re meant to do. If you’ve been wrestling with the question “What’s my purpose?” — this one is for you. It’s not about hustle, performance or having all the answers. It’s about resting in what God is already doing, recognising what He’s placed in your path, and trusting that He has written the story long before you arrived. Petia shares her own journey—shifting from business coaching to leaning into motherhood, the “aha” moments she’s been given, and how what once felt too simple is exactly the gift to step into.
What You’ll Learn
Why we often over‑complicate our calling when the Bible shows it’s simple (James 4:8, Matthew 7:7).
What it looks like to let go of control and allow God to guide the next step rather than you trying to piece everything together.
How to recognise when something lights you up and flows easily—this is a clue to your gift and calling.
Encouragement to ask: “What am I pretending I’m not seeing?” and “What’s so obvious I’m overlooking it?”
A fresh perspective: your purpose may be big or small right now—but it will feel life‑giving and God‑led.
Practical next steps: Listen for the gentle nudges. Trust the timing. Walk with God one step at a time.
Key Verses
“Draw near to God and he will draw near to you.” — James 4:8
“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.” — Matthew 7:7
Why This Matters
In a culture of doing, performance and comparison, this conversation offers a breath of fresh faith: God doesn’t need our striving. He needs our surrender. He already knows the before, the now and the later. When we partner with Him instead of trying to manufacture everything ourselves, our path becomes clearer—even if the full picture hasn’t yet been revealed.
Personal Story
Petia was reflecting one morning after her Bible reading and realised: “My coaching background has given me business strategy—but it never felt right for my soul. Now that I’m pregnant and walking through motherhood again, I see what lights me up: helping other women who are walking into motherhood, non‑toxic living, holistic nutrition, podcasting…” She shares how she discovered a “common thread” among her clients: pregnant women, women planning for pregnancy, women wanting to live holistically as mamas. And how that thread felt like God saying: ‘Here. This is it.’ She also recounts how at a local church conference she connected with a company helping women with unplanned pregnancies—a clear sign that her path, calling and gifting are aligning.
Action Steps for You
Sit quietly today and ask: “What’s so obvious in my path I’m ignoring?”
Write down what lights you up—what you do easily, what you talk about without being asked.
Ask a trusted friend: “What gift do you see in me that I don’t recognise yet?”
Choose one small step: maybe a short Instagram reel, a reflection prompt, a prayer asking God for clarity.
Remember: if all the blessings came right now, could you handle them? Maybe God is saying: “Not yet—let me prepare you.”
