Hey friend,
Transitions are hard. No matter the type, from career changes, life shifts, to stepping into something new—it all comes with its own set of challenges. Right now, I’m in one of those seasons myself, and honestly, it get’s messy!
The process of building a business has been more than just surface-level changes. For Faith in Her, it’s not just about a new logo or color palette (though, that’s part of it). It’s been about really getting clear on why I’m doing this. What’s the purpose? How does this community make a difference, especially for women in transition? How do I encourage women to embrace simply being, while motivating them to boldly become who God has called them to be.
I’ve been reflecting on this lately, and I think it’s safe to say that transition isn’t just a word. It’s a mental shift, a process of becoming, and it’s really forcing me to look inward. I’m moving from a “building” phase, where I’ve been figuring out the foundation of what Faith in Her will be, to a “doing” phase, where it’s time to put those plans into action. This is the part that scares me to the core.
If you’re anything like me, I’m a pro serial perfectionist. This is the true test where I have to show up. Even when the foundation isn’t perfect. Even when the execution feels messy. Even when my thoughts tell me “it’s too soon” or “you’re not ready.” I’m in that phase now where I’m called to trust the process, put in the work, and let go of the fear that comes with doing something new (easier said than done, right?).
It’s real and it’s raw, and it’s definitely uncomfy!
Something I took away from the Faith Read(Hers) Club this past spring was the power of practicing “even though / I will.” Even though I might want to hide or shield myself from the possibility of failure, I will choose to trust that God’s guidance is with me every step of the way. His rod and staff are my comfort (Psalm 23).
Here’s where the mental kicker comes in. Transition is taxing. Point, blank, period!
The uncertainty alone has its own weight. Every time I feel like I’ve made progress, doubt creeps in. It’s hard to keep moving when things feel uncertain. But I’m trying to focus on the fact that God has carried me this far. And just as I was reminded this week, from a book Rain Catcher: Help from Above for Entrepreneurs, putting ourselves in a position to be blessed is crucial. We’ve got to be willing to show up and do the work—even when we’re not sure of the outcome.
And that’s where the people come in. My community, my support system, they remind me that I’m not alone in this. Even when I feel like I’m in the trenches, I know I have people who believe in what’s happening. They’re here to cheer me on, and they’re here to remind me that the journey is worth it, even when the process feels overwhelming. I can’t express this enough, find your people!!
I’m also leaning heavily on my faith. The spiritual side of this journey is always where I find my grounding. Matthew 6:33 says, “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” I’m reminding myself of this daily. When the transition gets hard, I’m choosing to focus on my priorities on God first. He’ll take care of the rest.
So, if you’re also in a transition, I want you to know: it’s okay to feel the toll. The doubts. The messiness. It’s part of the process. Keep showing up, even when it’s hard. Keep trusting, even when the path isn’t clear.
I’m here with you, walking this journey as best as we can, and trusting that God will carry us through.
With you in the process and always with love and grit,
Tyra Tishay 🤎
