    284 | God's Calling You Higher: Rewire Your Brain & Step Into Your Next Level God Given Identity

    Feeling stuck, small, or like you’ve been playing it safe? This short, powerful pep talk is an invitation to dream bigger—and to remember that God has more for you than what you’ve been settling for. In this episode, we talk about why so many women unconsciously shrink their desires, how fear and the nervous system keep dreams “reasonable,” and how faith invites us to expand beyond what feels logical or safe. If you’ve been dimming your vision to stay comfortable, likable, or in control, this is your reminder that the desire for more didn’t come from nowhere—it was placed there by God. In this episode, you’ll hear about: Why dreaming bigger can feel unsafe—and how to bring God into that fearHow to stop minimizing your desires and start trusting divine expansionA simple mindset shift to widen your vision without pressure or strivingEncouragement to trust that God’s plans for you are bigger, kinder, and more abundant than you can imagineIf you’ve been craving clarity, confidence, and permission to want more, this episode is your reminder: God doesn’t plant small dreams in your heart by accident. You are allowed to want more—and you don’t have to figure it all out alone. [SUBMIT A QUESTION TO THE PODCAST]Ask Dev your question HERE.
