Welcome to The Becoming Her Podcast with Jessica Young. I’m so glad you’re here. A little about me — I’m someone who’s deeply passionate about helping women grow into the strongest version of themselves mentally, physically, and spiritually. Faith is the center of everything I do, and through coaching, fitness, and the conversations I’ve had with women over the years, I’ve seen how much our mindset, our habits, and our relationship with God shape the direction of our lives. I’ve also learned that a lot of us feel the same things at different points in life — stuck, overwhelmed, unsure of where we’re going, or feeling like we were made for more but not knowing how to get there. That’s exactly why this podcast exists. Each week we talk about real life — faith, mindset, discipline, relationships, confidence, health, and personal growth — the things that truly shape the woman you’re becoming. Some episodes will feel like encouragement you didn’t know you needed. Some will challenge the way you think. And some will simply remind you that you’re not walking through life alone. Think of this podcast like sitting down with a friend who genuinely wants to see you grow, believes in who you’re becoming, and is here to help you move forward with stronger faith, more confidence, and a clearer sense of purpose. And if you’re a guy who somehow found your way here… welcome and don't worry I will be talking about things that will apply to you too. So, yes, you’re still allowed to listen — you might even learn a thing or two about the women in your life. Becoming the woman (or man) God created you to be doesn’t happen overnight. It happens one decision, one mindset shift, and one step of faith at a time. And day by day… you become her.

    What If You’re Not Behind?

    Who told you that you were behind? Who decided that by a certain age you should be married, own a house, have a successful career, or have your entire life figured out? In this episode, we're talking about the pressure to meet life's milestones, comparing our journeys to everyone else's, and the disappointment that comes when life doesn't look the way we imagined. Because sometimes you're not jealous of somebody else's life. You're grieving the version of your own life you thought you'd be living. But what if you're not actually behind? What if you're measuring your life against a timeline that was never yours to begin with? We're talking about trusting God through unexpected seasons, recognizing the growth nobody sees, and learning to want more for your future without overlooking the life you're living right now. Not all growth is visible. And not every meaningful season comes with a milestone. Maybe becoming who God created you to be isn't about having everything figured out by a certain age. Maybe it's about being faithful with the season you're in. If you've been feeling behind, questioning your progress, or wondering why your life doesn't look the way you thought it would by now, this conversation is for you. Grab your coffee, go for a walk, or take a little time for yourself and tune in. My hope is that you'll walk away seeing your life, your progress, and God's purpose for your current season a little differently. You're not behind. You're still becoming. And your story isn't over.

    Hey You - Be the Friend You Wish You Had

    We talk so much about finding good friends, building community, and surrounding ourselves with the right people. But how often do we stop and ask ourselves: Am I being the kind of friend I'm looking for? In this Hey You episode, we're talking about what it actually means to be a good friend. Not just when it's convenient, when life is easy, or when you have something to gain, but when showing up requires something from you. Because sometimes friendship looks like making the phone call. Remembering the little things. Checking in when someone goes quiet. Celebrating their wins without comparison. Sitting with them when life gets hard. Rearranging your schedule because someone you love needs you. Sometimes love looks like being willing to inconvenience yourself for someone else. Jesus tells us in John 15:12 to love one another as He has loved us. And I think that's something worth reflecting on when it comes to our friendships. We spend so much time praying for genuine friendships, but are we being intentional about becoming genuine friends ourselves? Because good friendships don't just happen. They're built through consistency, intentionality, sacrifice, and the small things that remind someone they're not alone. Don't become so focused on finding people who will show up for you that you forget to show up for the people God has already placed in your life. Maybe instead of asking God to send you better friends, it's time to ask Him to help you become a better one. Support the show If this episode encouraged you, share it with someone who needs it.

    Hey You — Stop Settling Just So You’re Not Alone

    Hey you—who you surround yourself with matters more than you think. After spending time around people who are driven, disciplined, ambitious, hardworking, and constantly encouraging each other to grow, I was reminded just how much our environment influences who we become. The right people don't just make you feel comfortable. They challenge you. They inspire you. They push you toward growth. They make you want to become better. But sometimes we're so afraid of being alone that we'll settle for being surrounded by people who aren't meant to go where God is taking us. In this Hey You episode, we're talking about the influence your circle has on your life, why loneliness can tempt us to settle for the wrong relationships, and what James 4 can teach us about friendship with the world versus closeness with God. Because being surrounded doesn't always mean you're supported—and being alone for a season doesn't mean you've been abandoned. Sometimes making room for the right people requires being willing to walk away from the wrong ones. Take a look at your circle: are the people around you encouraging the person God is calling you to become—or making it easier to stay exactly where you are?

    I Think We’ve Confused Being Needed With Being Loved

    Who are you when nobody needs anything from you? When you're not the strong one, the dependable one, the problem solver, the person who always shows up, or the one who somehow holds everything together? And maybe the harder question is… do you still feel valuable when you have nothing to give? In this episode, we're talking about something I think so many of us struggle with without even realizing it: confusing being needed with being loved. Somewhere along the way, we started believing that our worth comes from what we can do for other people. We became the strong ones, the helpers, the fixers, the people who never ask for anything in return. And while those qualities can be beautiful, they can also become incredibly exhausting when we start making them our identity. We're talking about why asking for help can feel so uncomfortable, how people-pleasing and hyper-independence can disguise themselves as strength, and why sometimes it's easier to be needed than it is to actually be known. Because there's a difference between serving people out of love and serving people because you're afraid you won't be loved if you stop. And I think Jesus has something really important to teach us about that. You don't have to earn your place with God. You don't have to accomplish enough, serve enough, or hold everything together before you're worthy of rest, grace, and love. Being strong is a gift. Believing you're never allowed to be weak is a burden. Maybe becoming who God created you to be isn't about becoming the woman who can do everything. Maybe it's about becoming the woman who knows she doesn't have to. The woman who can ask for help. Who can rest without guilt. Who can love people without needing them to depend on her. Who knows her worth isn't determined by her productivity, accomplishments, or usefulness. So here's what I want you to think about this week: Am I doing these things because I love people, or because I'm afraid they won't love me if I stop? Because you can be deeply loved without being constantly needed. And maybe the next step in becoming her isn't learning how to give more. Maybe it's finally learning how to receive.

    Hey You - Your Past Is Not Something to Be Ashamed Of

    Hey you—your past isn't something you have to hide from. The mistakes. The heartbreak. The seasons you're not proud of. The things people have said about you. The version of yourself you wish you could go back and change. You don't have to live ashamed of any of it. In this Hey You episode, I'm reminding you that your past may be part of your story, but it doesn't get to define your future. God can use the things you've walked through, the lessons you've learned, and even the parts of your story you wish looked different. You wouldn't be who you are today without some of the things you had to survive, learn from, heal from, and grow through. Stop trying to erase the person you used to be. Give her grace. Learn from her. And let God use the whole story. Your past isn't proof that you're disqualified.  It might be part of the very testimony God uses to help someone else.

    Not Everyone Is Going to Like Who You’re Becoming

    What happens when becoming healthier, stronger, more confident, more disciplined, and closer to God starts changing the relationships around you? Growth sounds beautiful until someone tells you, “You’ve changed.” In this episode, we’re talking about one of the harder parts of becoming who God created you to be: realizing that not everyone is going to understand, support, or even like the version of you that’s emerging. Maybe you’re setting boundaries for the first time. Saying no without writing a five-paragraph explanation. Taking your faith more seriously. Pursuing something God placed on your heart. Or simply realizing that some relationships don’t fit the way they once did. But this isn’t an episode about cutting everyone off or calling anyone who disagrees with you “toxic.” It’s about learning the difference between people-pleasing and loving people well. Between peacekeeping and peacemaking. Between healthy boundaries and bitterness. Between being misunderstood and actually needing correction. Because growth should still make us more loving, humble, kind, and teachable. Sometimes people were comfortable with the old version of you. Sometimes growth reveals what was already there. Sometimes a relationship needs a boundary. Sometimes it needs an honest conversation. Sometimes it needs forgiveness and repair. And sometimes you have to accept that a season has changed. You can have a soft heart without having a weak sense of self. You don’t have to spend your life maintaining a version of yourself that keeps everyone else comfortable. Not everyone is going to like who you’re becoming. Just make sure the person you’re becoming looks more like who God created you to be.

    Hey You - Uncomfortable Doesn’t Mean You’re on the Wrong Path

    Hey you—you were never put on this earth to make sure everyone likes you. You weren't called to be understood by everyone, supported by everyone, or to spend your life people-pleasing just to keep the peace. You were called to make peace, not simply keep it. God gave you a purpose. And if that purpose was specifically designed for you, you have to expect that there will be people who don't understand it. People who don't support it. People who question you. Maybe even people who don't like the version of you that obedience requires you to become. That doesn't automatically mean you're doing something wrong. In this Hey You episode, we're talking about people-pleasing, purpose, the difference between being a peacekeeper and a peacemaker, and why following God's direction can sometimes feel incredibly uncomfortable. You have a job to do here. And you can't spend your entire life asking people who weren't given your assignment for permission to fulfill it. So when it gets uncomfortable, don't immediately assume you took a wrong turn. Sometimes obedience is uncomfortable. Sometimes purpose is misunderstood. Keep going anyway.

    I Think We’re Distracting Ourselves From Our Own Lives

    When was the last time you were actually still? No phone. No music. No podcast. No scrolling. No productivity. No constant stream of someone else’s thoughts filling your head. Just… still. In this episode, we’re talking about something I’ve been noticing in my own life: I don’t think we know how to be bored anymore—and I think it’s affecting us more than we realize. We’re constantly consuming, comparing, scrolling, working, listening, watching, and filling every quiet moment with something. Then we wonder why we’re exhausted, why we don’t know what we actually want, and sometimes… why we can’t hear God. But what if God isn’t always being quiet? What if everything else is just really loud? We’re talking about the difference between resting and actually giving your mind rest, why we may use distraction to avoid what comes up in the silence, what Jesus modeled for us about intentionally withdrawing from the noise, and how easy it is to become so consumed with everyone else’s life that we stop being present for our own. Because your life isn’t waiting for you somewhere in the future. It’s happening in the ordinary Tuesday. The drive home. The morning coffee. The conversation with someone you love. The season you’re in right now. Don’t become so distracted waiting for your life to happen that you miss the fact that it already is. Maybe becoming who God created you to be doesn’t always require doing more. Maybe sometimes it requires getting quiet enough to hear Him—and being present enough to actually experience the life He’s already given you.
