Episode notes

What if you said yes—even when you didn’t feel ready?

In this first episode of Her Comeback Story, meet Val, who took a bold leap of faith, driving from Pennsylvania to the Florida Keys to pursue her dream job—despite not knowing how to play the instrument required.

Through uncertainty, prayer, and perseverance, Val learned to move beyond worry and trust God in the process. Now back home, she’s doing what she loves—playing the ukulele and performing with confidence.

If you’ve ever felt held back by fear or unsure of your next step, this story will remind you: you don’t have to feel ready to begin.

✨ Read Val's full story in my newly published book, Drawing on Faith: How to Make an Emotional Comeback and Reclaim Your Joy.
