Season 14
This episode is for the woman who’s in a season of uncertainty… wondering, God, what are You doing with my life?” Today, we’re joined by **Matthew** — writer, teacher, and the creator of the upcoming screenplay *English Corner* — a project birthed out of one unexpected “yes.” After losing his job, Matthew found himself at a crossroads. Instead of spiraling into fear, he leaned into faith. God led him halfway across the world to teach English in China — a place he never planned to go. His obedience not only transformed his life, but also sparked a story that would later become a screenplay impacting countless others. In this conversation, we talk about how sometimes the greatest breakthroughs show up disguised as detours. *In this episode we cover: * How a setback positioned Matthew for God’s bigger assignment * The beauty (and discomfort) of saying *yes* when God’s instructions don’t make logical sense * Why obedience is not a moment — it’s a journey * How to hold on to faith when the path looks nothing like the promise * The power of trusting God with outcomes instead of trying to control every detail Mic-Drop Moments & Takeaways: “Sometimes God will close a door you were too loyal to walk away from.” “Obedience is the bridge between where you are and who you’re called to become.” “Setbacks are often God’s setup to reroute you into purpose.” Connect with Matthew https://mattfterry.com/the-english-room-adapted-from-dragonflies/ Learn more about his screenplay, *English Corner*, and follow the journey: Connect with Coach Tamika Website & all links: https://womanofnetwork.com/founders-offer?am_id=tamika4156 Apply for coaching or join Official https://womanofnetwork.com/founders-offer?am_id=tamika4156 Listen to more episodes of *Healing & Becoming* Stay connected on Instagram | TikTok | Facebook If this episode reminded you that God wastes *nothing* — not even the hard seasons — share it with a friend who needs hope today.

What do you do when your faith feels fragile… and your anger is directed toward God Himself? In this honest and healing conversation, **Coach Tamika** sits down with **Elena Huggins** — a passionate communicator, musician, entrepreneur, and lover of Jesus — to talk about what it really looks like to wrestle with God through pain, disappointment, and trauma. For the past 18 years, Elena has inspired and challenged audiences with her raw transparency, biblical truth, and deep empathy for those walking through emotional and spiritual battles. She’s not afraid to talk about the hard stuff — from **PTSD, anxiety, and depression** to the journey of finding freedom, forgiveness, and intimacy with God again. Together, we unpack questions many believers silently carry: What happens when I’m mad at God? How do I trust Him again after deep hurt? Why is honesty with God the beginning of healing? This episode is for anyone who has ever shouted *“Why me?”* and still longs to believe that God is good. About Elena Huggins Elena is a powerful voice of truth and transformation. Over nearly two decades, she has spoken on countless stages — from churches to conferences — using her straightforward, Spirit-led approach to empower others to live free and fall deeper in love with Jesus. Her work includes supporting trafficked victims, working in rape crisis intervention, providing one-on-one coaching, and offering pastoral care. She currently resides in the mountains with her two beautiful daughters.
