    Pressure Is Not Your Portion | God’s Way vs the World’s Way

    January comes with a unique kind of pressure—the pressure to fix yourself, perform better, hustle harder, and prove that this year will be different. But what if that pressure isn’t from God at all? In this episode of the Misfits on Mission Podcast, we’re unpacking the difference between the world’s way and God’s way—especially when it comes to productivity, rest, discipline, and transformation. If you’ve ever felt anxious when you slow down… Guilty when you rest… Or afraid that everything will fall apart if you stop producing…This conversation is for you. In this episode, we talk about: The hidden pressure of January and New Year expectations. Why hustle and performance are often rooted in fear, not faith. How safety—not pressure—is the soil for real transformation. The difference between structure as a tool vs structure as a savior. Moving from striving and burnout into peace, rest, and trust. What Scripture actually says about rest, alignment, and obedience. A personal story of survival, systems, and relearning safety in God. Guided reflection questions and a prayer to realign with God’s pace. This episode is an invitation to stop proving, stop performing, and start abiding. Because pressure is not your portion—peace is. ✨ Go Deeper — Free Reflections & Journaling Episode Journaling Guides (Free on Substack) For select podcast episodes, I create printable journaling prompts to help you process, pray, and integrate what you’re hearing.

    Mend Your Midlife Metabolism | Faith, Insulin Resistance, and Reclaiming Your Body After 40 with Pharmacist Health Coach Carrie Schrader

    What if your stubborn weight gain, exhaustion, and hormone chaos aren’t personal failures—but signs your metabolism is asking for support? In this powerful episode of Misfits on Mission, Alejandra sits down with Carrie Schrader, Pharmacist Health Coach and founder of Mend Your Midlife Metabolism, for an honest, hope-filled conversation about midlife health, insulin resistance, and walking worthy of the calling God has placed on your life. Carrie shares her personal journey through breast cancer, profound loss, and metabolic healing—and how those experiences ignited her mission to help midlife women stop fighting their bodies and start working with them. Together, we unpack why “doing all the right things” often stops working after 40, how blood sugar and insulin resistance quietly drive weight-loss resistance, fatigue, and chronic disease, and why healing in midlife requires both wisdom and obedience. This episode is especially for the woman who: Feels like her body changed overnight in midlife Is tired of extreme diets, over-exercising, and white-knuckling health Suspects there’s more going on beneath stubborn weight and low energy Desires healing that honors both science and faith Carrie brings clarity, compassion, and practical insight—rooted in her background as a pharmacist and her deep trust in God’s timing—to remind us that restoration is possible, and that our bodies were designed to heal. Key themes we cover: Why insulin resistance is a hidden driver of midlife weight gain and fatigue How grief, stress, and trauma impact metabolism and hormones Releasing shame around health struggles and reclaiming confidence Walking worthy of your calling—body, soul, and spirit Why midlife can be a beginning, not a breakdown This is not about fixing yourself. It’s about understanding your body, honoring your season, and stepping into healing with wisdom and grace. 🔗 Connect with Carrie Schrader ✨ Midlife Metabolism Jumpstart: 👉 https://www.carrieswellnessrx.com/jumpstart ✨ Website & Coaching: 👉 https://www.carrieswellnessrx.com 📩 Email: carrie@carrieswellnessrx.com 🎧 About Our Guest Carrie Schrader is the founder of Mend Your Midlife Metabolism, a pharmacist, health coach, and faith-driven midlife mom who helps women overcome weight-loss resistance, balance hormones, and restore energy—without extreme diets or living at the gym.

    The Wilderness Is Where You’re Remade | Stacie’s Raw Journey Through the Messy Middle

    In this episode of Misfits on Mission, Alejandra sits down with Stacie for a conversation that feels less like an interview and more like two wilderness daughters comparing notes—raw, real, and unfiltered. This isn’t a highlight reel. This is the messy middle—the place where obedience costs you everything familiar, where God feels both overwhelmingly near and painfully quiet, and where transformation is happening even when you can’t see it yet. Stacie opens up about what her own wilderness season has actually looked like: the surrender, the stripping, the stretching, the loneliness, the breakthroughs that feel microscopic, and the moments where you wonder if you misunderstood God entirely. She talks about leaving the wide path to follow Jesus into the unknown, learning how to lay down striving, breaking out of sexual bondage, and discovering freedom in layers—slow, deep, and often uncomfortable. If you are: • in a wilderness with God • waiting for breakthrough • tired of the process • wondering why transformation feels so slow • wrestling with identity, purity, obedience, or purpose • or just trying to survive the in-between …this episode is a lifeline. Stacie brings language to the hidden spaces most Christians never talk about. She offers hope, not from theory, but from the trenches. She reminds you that God does His most powerful work in the wilderness—when nothing looks victorious yet. You’ll walk away with renewed courage to stay the course, trust the slow work of God, and believe again that your messy middle is not a mistake… it’s the place where He is forming your destiny.

    It’s Not On You | Calling, Holy Hunger, and Believing the Best with Em Tyler

    What if the thing God has called you to… is not on you to make happen? In this conversation, Alejandra sits down with Bible teacher, writer, and Grow and Go podcast host Em Tyler for a deeply honest, hope-filled talk about calling, surrender, and walking with God in a multi-assignment season without burning out. Em shares how the Lord has been untangling striving from her calling over the last two decades, and what it actually looks like to live like Isaiah 55:11 is true—that God’s Word will not return void. From unexpected provision (hello, “momentum manager” showing up out of nowhere) to winter seasons that felt like Nineveh, Em walks us through how God has met her in disappointment, transition, and delay. Inside this episode, we unpack: Why your calling is an invitation, not a burden you have to manufacture How we accidentally make our calling “god” and what it looks like to re-center on Jesus The difference between striving in independence and walking in step with the Spirit How God uses the “A to Z” journey—detours, delays, and all—to actually equip us to carry the weight of what He’s spoken The power of “believe the best” as a weapon against bitterness, rumination, and negative thinking Practical ways Em is making space for holy hunger: Sabbath rhythms, phone outside the bedroom, and 24/7 prayer room mornings A prophetic reminder for weary, numb, or discouraged hearts: “It’s not on you, my friend.” Em closes the episode by praying over listeners who feel stuck, tired, or spiritually numb—releasing fresh courage to lay it all out before God and let Him be the One who carries the weight. If you’ve ever felt behind in your calling, overwhelmed by all your “assignments,” or quietly afraid you’re failing God, this one’s going to feel like a deep breath and a reset.

    The Awakening Journey | The Final Teaching in the Awakening Series

    In this powerful closing chapter of the Awakening Series, Alejandra walks you through the true pattern of spiritual transformation—healing, identity, obedience, and mobilization—and why awakening isn’t a moment, but a lifelong journey of becoming who God always called you to be. This episode is for the misfit daughter who knows she was created for more. If you’ve felt stuck in survival mode, drifted from alignment, wrestled with old patterns, or wondered if God could really use you—this conversation will pull you out of hiding and into clarity, courage, and calling. Ale recaps each stage of the Awakening journey—from the cave to the commission—and shares a raw personal testimony about how God dismantled shame, restored her identity, and turned her voice into a weapon of truth. You’ll learn why transformation is spiral, not linear, how God uses repetition to mature you, and why revisiting hard places doesn’t mean you’re failing—it means He’s finishing what He started. You’ll also discover: Why awakening without obedience leads back to bondage How daily alignment anchors you when emotions swing What it looks like to live “on mission” in your everyday life How to discern where God is calling you deeper right now The difference between momentary breakthrough and sustained formation Why your healing is connected to your assignment Ale closes with a prophetic activation prayer, a guided journal prompt, and an invitation to walk out your transformation with intention—not just inspiration. If you’re ready to:• rebuild your identity in Christ• renew your mind• break survival strategies• hear God with clarity• and live from a place of freedom and assignment… …this episode will meet you right where you are and call you higher. 🔥 THE JOURNEY CONTINUESThe next three episodes feature stories from women who have walked this same transformation road—proof that awakening looks different on each daughter, but the same God writes them all.
