The Becoming Her Podcast with Jessica Young

Hey you… the way you think about your life matters more than you realize. A negative mindset will keep you stuck in fear, doubt, insecurity, frustration, and low expectations for your life. Eventually, the thoughts you constantly entertain start shaping the way you see yourself, the way you move through life, and the kind of future you believe is possible for you. But the opposite is true too. A h...

Lately I've been stuck on a question that has completely challenged me: Are my hands open to God... or are they pointing fingers at Him? When life doesn't go the way we planned, it's so easy to start asking, "God, where were You?" or "Why did You let this happen?" And while I believe God can absolutely handle our questions, I also think it's worth asking our...

Hey you… maybe the reason you feel stuck isn’t because God isn’t listening. Maybe it’s because you’re still holding on too tightly. We pray for healing, growth, freedom, purpose, relationships, opportunities, and breakthrough — but so many of us struggle to actually let God into the places that need to change because we’re consumed by fear, doubt, control, or old attachments. It’s hard to receive...

Can we talk about something? I think a lot of us treat God like He's a one-hit wonder. We celebrate the prayers He's already answered, the miracles He's already done, and the ways He's been faithful in the past… but the moment we walk into a new season of uncertainty, we start wondering if He's forgotten about us. I've caught myself doing this too. In this episode, we...

Hey you… frustration does not mean you’re failing. One thing I’ve been learning lately is that great leaders and strong people learn how to sustain ambition even in the face of frustration. And honestly, that’s easier said than done. Because frustration can make you question everything. It can make you feel discouraged, emotionally exhausted, and tempted to give up on the very things you once felt...

Can we talk about something? I think somewhere along the way, we've accidentally separated our faith from our health. We pray for more energy, more time, more discipline, and for God to use us in bigger ways… but we often neglect the very body He gave us to carry out that purpose. And no, I don't believe God cares about your health because He wants you to look a certain way. I believe He...

Hey you… this leprosy is not your legacy. That phrase hit me deeply after hearing it in a sermon because for so long, I allowed other people’s opinions, labels, and perceptions of me to shape how I saw myself. I believed what people said about me. I carried shame from past mistakes. And I started identifying with old versions of myself that God was trying to heal me from. But just because you’ve g...

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to feel close to God, inspired, motivated, and excited when you're at a conference, retreat, church event, race weekend, or surrounded by people who are pushing you forward? But then you come home. The event ends. The excitement fades. The routine returns. And suddenly you're left wondering how to carry everything you experienced back into everyday li...

Hey you… are you truly following God, or are you asking Him to follow the life you already planned out for yourself? A lot of us say we trust God, but deep down we still expect Him to bless our timeline, our plans, and our version of how life is supposed to go. Then when things don’t work out the way we wanted, we become frustrated, disappointed, confused, or even angry at God. But what if the pro...

Hey you… isn’t it crazy how easily we trust a plane to take us somewhere we’ve never been, but we struggle to trust God with our lives? We’ll book flights, pack our bags, and confidently travel to places we’ve never seen before without fully understanding how we’re getting there. But the moment God starts leading us into unfamiliar territory, we panic, overthink, doubt ourselves, and start questio...

Hey you… maybe you don’t need all the answers right now. In this episode, I’m talking about the tension between what we don’t know and what we do know when we’re walking through uncertain seasons. I don’t know exactly where God is leading me. I don’t know what every part of my future looks like. I don’t know why some things happen the way they do. But I do know God is good. I do know He’s faithful...

If you’ve been feeling mentally exhausted, emotionally overwhelmed, unmotivated, distracted, or disconnected from yourself lately, this episode is for you. So many people think they’re lazy when in reality, they’ve been stuck in survival mode for so long that their mind, body, and spirit don’t even know how to slow down anymore. In this episode, we’re talking about emotional exhaustion, doom scrol...

Hey you… the enemy loves to attack your mind. If you’ve been struggling lately, feeling mentally exhausted, discouraged, overwhelmed, or close to quitting, this episode is for you. A lot of the battles we fight don’t start around us — they start in our thoughts. The enemy loves confusion, negativity, fear, comparison, overthinking, and anything that keeps you feeling defeated, distracted, or disco...

Hey you… maybe the interruption is happening for a reason. Sometimes we get so focused on our own plans, timelines, and expectations that we don’t realize God is trying to redirect us into something better. In this episode, I’m talking about what it looks like to let God interrupt your life — even when it’s uncomfortable, unexpected, or doesn’t make sense in the moment. A lot of the time, we see i...

If you’ve ever found yourself doubting God, questioning His timing, or feeling confused about where your life is headed, this episode is for you. Doubt is something so many people experience, but almost no one talks about honestly. It can make you feel guilty, disconnected, frustrated, or even like your faith isn’t strong enough. But the truth is, doubt doesn’t mean your faith is broken. In this e...

Hey you… maybe your purpose isn’t disappearing. Maybe it’s evolving. In this episode, I’m talking about something that’s been heavy on my heart lately — the idea that sometimes God changes our direction, our passions, and even the things we once thought we were meant to do. A lot of people feel guilty when they outgrow old dreams, old versions of themselves, or seasons that once felt right. But gr...

If you’ve been feeling stuck in your life lately, this episode is for you. That feeling of knowing you’re meant for more but not knowing how to move forward… the frustration of wanting change but staying in the same place… the constant cycle of overthinking, waiting, and starting over — it’s something so many people are quietly struggling with. In this episode, I’m breaking down what it really mea...

Hey you… I know life has felt heavy lately. Maybe you’ve been trying to hold everything together while silently feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, anxious, or emotionally drained. Maybe you’ve been smiling in front of people while privately feeling like you’re carrying more than you know how to handle. In this episode, I just want to remind you that you’re not weak for feeling tired, and you’re not f...

Sometimes God doesn’t take something away because it’s wrong. Sometimes He takes it away because He wants to rebuild it differently. In this episode, I’m sharing a really personal conversation about my business, the shift I started feeling in my life, and why I honestly believe God allowed so much of what I built to fall apart. Not because it was bad. Not because I was doing the wrong thing. But b...

Hey you… if you’ve been feeling heavy lately, this is for you. In this episode, I’m talking honestly about spiritual warfare, the attacks I’ve personally been feeling lately, and why I believe the enemy fights hardest when you’re growing, healing, or getting closer to the life God is calling you into. Sometimes the attack isn’t obvious. Sometimes it looks like exhaustion, doubt, fear, overthinking...

Spiritual Warfare Is Real — And This Might Be Why You’ve Been Struggling If you’ve been feeling off lately—heavy, unmotivated, anxious, or distant from God—this episode is for you. In this episode, we’re talking about spiritual warfare and what it actually looks like in your everyday life. It’s not always obvious, and a lot of times it shows up as the thoughts, doubts, and struggles you’ve been de...

I need you to hear me when I say that you are not replaceable.

Why I Rebranded — And What Becoming Her Really Means If you’ve been feeling like you’re outgrowing your current life… this episode is for you. In this first episode of The Becoming Her Podcast, I’m sharing why I made the decision to rebrand, what God has been doing in my life behind the scenes, and what “Becoming Her” actually means—not just for me, but for you too. This isn’t just about fitness a...

This one’s personal. This one’s urgent. We are all called—but not to fame, not to success, not to comfort. Our calling is to Jesus. Every single one of us. And yet, too many of us live with one foot in and one foot out, waiting, hesitating, thinking we’ve got time. But here’s the truth: you don’t. There’s a line. And you need to decide which side you’re on. In this episode, I’m bringing scripture...

This episode is different. It’s raw. It’s heavy. And it’s necessary. In light of the recent assassination of Charlie Kirk, I felt led to pause and reflect—not only on his courage to stand firm in truth, but also on the reality of the evil we are up against. Scripture is clear: we are called to hate what God hates , and that is evil itself. But here’s the hope—evil does not win. It never has, and i...
