What does it feel like to leave behind a place, a role, and a sense of purpose that defined so much of your life? We talk honestly about the loss, the uncertainty, and the deep identity questions that come with that kind of shift.We also explore the tension between urgency and trust—how easy it is to want immediate clarity, and how important it is to slow down, breathe, and allow space for God to lead. Tim opens up about the “in-between” season, where he stepped into a role he didn’t expect, and how that became a meaningful part of his journey into coaching.This conversation is especially for anyone walking through transition—whether you’re leaving a career, stepping out of ministry, or simply sensing that something new is unfolding. We reflect on how nothing is wasted, how past experiences shape future purpose, and how living on mission can look different in every season.We hope this episode encourages you to trust the process, embrace the unknown, and stay open to what might be possible next.FREE RESOURCES:Tim Austinhttps://www.encompasslifecoaching.com/tim@encompasslifecoaching.comListen to our sister podcast the REALIFE Practice Podcast on your Favorite Podcast AppTake the FREE Intro to Needs & Values AssessmentReady to discover what uniquely matters to YOU?
