Welcome back, my love, to Made for Impact. In today’s raw and real solo episode, I’m opening up about something I’ve been sitting with lately—what I call “the sticky middle.” It’s that in-between season where you’re no longer who you used to be, but not quite yet where you’re going… or who God is calling you to become. Whether you're pivoting in your business, stepping deeper into motherhood, or redefining your identity through faith, this episode is for you. I’m sharing: ✨ What it feels like to leave behind an old identity (even one that was successful) ✨ The personal wrestle between hustle and Holy Spirit–led surrender ✨ Why I’m following new nudges, including a surprise announcement about a natural fertility certification ✨ How to keep moving forward even when you don’t have the full picture ✨ Why God works with movement, not perfection This isn’t about the highlight reel. It’s about the sacred process—the pause, the pivot, the pruning. So if you're in the sticky middle too—unsure, slow, messy, but still showing up—this one’s for you. I pray it encourages you to keep walking, one faithful step at a time.

In this raw and heartfelt episode, Petia Kolibova Burns opens up about a powerful spiritual shift that happened at church. She reflects on the difference between conditional faith—faith that says 'only if'—and the deeper, unshakable faith that says 'even if.' Petia shares stories from her life and from others who have experienced loss, disappointment, and unfulfilled desires, yet chose to trust God’s plan anyway. If you’ve ever found yourself asking God for proof before you believe, this episode is a powerful invitation to surrender your expectations and walk boldly in faith, no matter the outcome.     In this episode we'll learn: True faith is not based on conditions—it’s built on trust even when outcomes don’t align with our desires. New Age manifestation often focuses on self, while biblical faith surrenders control to God. We often say 'only if' when approaching God—Petia encourages replacing that with 'even if'. Our trust in God should not depend on our circumstances or what we receive. Powerful testimony of a husband who lost his wife but continued to walk faithfully in God’s promises.   Ask yourself these questions: What are you putting in front of God right now? Where in your life are you saying ‘only if’ instead of ‘even if’? What would it look like to trust God without needing a sign or a condition? Can you write down your list of 'only ifs' and place God in front of them today?   You are made for impact. Your voice, your testimony, and your faith journey are powerful. Keep sharing, keep believing, and keep showing up even if things don’t go your way. God sees your heart, and He honors your trust.

This conversation is a reminder that your mess can become your message — and when you align with divine guidance, anything is possible.     Tune in to reconnect with your purpose, your healing, and your faith. 💫     In this episode, you'll hear about: Faith and Transformation: Kelsey’s journey illuminates the transformative power of faith in overcoming personal challenges and finding one’s purpose. Holistic Healing: Emphasizing natural remedies and holistic practices can lead to significant health improvements. Mindset’s Role in Healing: A positive mindset and the belief in one’s ability to heal are crucial in the process of transformation.

In this powerful episode, Petia shares the deeply personal story of attending a Christian retreat for married couples that reshaped her understanding of connection, community, and faith. For years, she believed she didn’t need anyone. Isolation felt safer. But through a transformative weekend of prayer, worship, vulnerability, and shared purpose, Petia experienced the healing that only comes from stepping into God-designed community. This episode is an invitation for anyone who’s felt alone, unseen, or skeptical of church to rediscover the beauty of doing life together.   Today we talked about: We were never meant to walk alone—God designed us for community. Isolation often masks unhealed wounds and old beliefs that keep us stuck. Christian retreats and spiritual communities can offer deep healing and connection. Transformation happens when we are vulnerable and open our hearts to others. Faith isn’t just personal—it’s communal, and God moves powerfully in groups gathered in His name.   Reflection Questions: Have you ever convinced yourself you were fine alone? What was that protecting you from? What would it look like to allow others into your faith journey? Where in your life is God inviting you to step into community instead of isolation? How can you create or join a space where vulnerability, prayer, and faith can thrive?     You don’t have to do it all on your own. God has placed people in your path to walk with you, uplift you, and help you grow. Whether through church, retreats, or Spirit-led friendships, community is a gift—and one you deserve.

✨ You don’t have to hustle to be worthy. ✨     In this soulful episode, I sit down with the radiant Ehmandah Ramsey, founder of “She Stories,” to explore what it truly means to live in alignment—with ease, intention, and divine guidance. Together, we peel back the layers of toxic productivity and reconnect with our truth, our community, and our soul’s calling.     Ehmandah shares her powerful shift from hustle to healing, and how embracing rest, storytelling, and spiritual trust opened her up to a more abundant and authentic life. We talk about going back to your childhood passions to rediscover your purpose—and how community can be the greatest medicine on your journey.     This episode is an invitation to trust the timing, soften into faith, and remember: you are safe to receive, you are worthy as you are, and you get to lead with love and ease. 💖     DM me “SPEAK” on Instagram @petiakolibova to take your next step toward visibility with confidence.
