Personal growth, self-love, and inner healing are possible, even when you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or completely lost in the in-between. Whether you're navigating life transitions, struggling with people pleasing, setting boundaries, or trying to silence the negative self-talk that's been holding you back, there is a path forward. This is the space for women who are ready to do the inner work, find their purpose, and rise into the next version of themselves… one step at a time. I'm Kimberly Rash, life coach and host of Rooted to Rise. I help women break free from self-doubt, fear of failure, and the patterns that keep them playing small, so they can step into their confidence, their calling, and their truest selves. My approach is real, honest, and rooted in faith, mindset work, and the belief that you’re not stuck. You’re becoming. Through the Root, Release & Rise framework, I walk women through a simple but powerful process of coming back to themselves, releasing what no longer fits, and rising boldly into who they are meant to be. Whether you're a woman over 30 reinventing yourself, navigating midlife, or simply ready to stop waiting and start moving, this podcast was made for you. This podcast covers topics such as: How do I stop people pleasing and start setting boundaries? How do I build confidence as a woman over 30? How do I find my purpose when I feel lost? How do I practice gratitude when life feels hard? How do I overcome negative self-talk and start loving myself? How do I get out of my own way and take the next step? What does healing from childhood wounds look like as an adult woman? How do I trust my calling even when I feel unqualified? How do I stop self-sabotaging and start becoming who I'm meant to be? Where can I find a faith-based personal growth podcast for women?

    006: Learning to Trust Your Calling and Finding Your Purpose One Step at a Time

    Rooted to RiseShow NotesLearning to Trust Your Calling and Finding Your Purpose One Step at a TimeHost: Kimberly Rash Podcast: Rooted to Rise Episode SummaryYour purpose was never something you lost; it has been inside you all along, waiting for you to come back to it. Kimberly Rash digs into the pressure so many of us feel to figure out our calling and why the frantic search may be the very thing keeping us stuck. She breaks down what true alignment feels like versus forcing something that was never meant to fit, and how every season of life, including the painful ones, quietly builds the character and clarity needed to step into purpose with confidence. Drawing from her own journey of faith, self-doubt, and slow obedience, Kimberly reminds listeners that purpose is not one defining moment but the accumulation of how you show up again and again across every chapter of your life. You do not need a perfect plan or a dramatic revelation to move forward. Root yourself in what feels true, release the outside noise, and rise into the calling that has been inside you all along. What You Will Learn in This EpisodeWhy your purpose is something you return to, not something you go findHow to recognize the difference between true alignment and forcing something that does not fitWhat misalignment actually feels like in your body and your spiritHow the seasons of your life, including the hard ones, are building your purposeWhy peace is the most reliable signal that you are moving in the right directionHow to stop letting outside pressure and other people's expectations derail your path Key TakeawaysPurpose is not one big defining thing. It is the accumulation of your character, your gifts, and how you show up over time.Nursing, teaching, designing, helping others -- these are conduits. The innate tools God placed inside of you are your actual purpose.Misalignment shows up as pressure where there should be pleasure, confusion where there should be joy, and resistance where things should flow.Peace that passes understanding is one of the clearest signals you are walking in the right direction.You are not behind. Every season of your life is preparing you for the moment you are ready to step fully into your calling.Just because you want something does not mean it is what you are meant for. Stop trying to put a circle in a square. Memorable Quotes"Your purpose is not something you find. It is something you are coming back to." "It does not have to always feel easy, but it will always feel true." "You are not lost. You are learning how to listen. You are not stuck. You are becoming." "Something that should be giving you pleasure feels like pressure. Something that is supposed to bring you joy feels like confusion. That is misalignment." "I did not feel qualified, so I did not move. And that is okay. Because here I am today." Call to ActionKimberly challenges you to take action within the next 24 hours. Start a Purpose Journal. Sit down and write out the following: What do I truly believe my purpose is right now?What are three strengths I know I have? (Include the ones people might call flaws. Stubbornness, boldness, intensity -- sometimes the negatives are actually your greatest gifts.)What is the one thing that keeps coming up in my life that I keep ignoring? Then take one small step that feels aligned. Not a leap. Not a perfect plan. Just one step. Root. Release. Rise.

    005: The Confidence Myth Women Need to Hear Before They Give Up

    You don't need to wait until you feel ready, because confidence was never meant to arrive before you do. So many women are standing at the edge of the life they want, holding back until they feel bold enough, certain enough, or ready enough to step into it. Kimberly Rash breaks down the confidence myth, revealing that confidence is not a personality trait you either have or you don't. It is something built, decision by decision, through small acts of courage rooted in the things you already do well. She gets honest about the voices, the comparisons, and the critical people that quietly chip away at a woman's sense of self, and why releasing that old noise is where the real growth begins. The version of you that you have been waiting to become is not someone you have to find. She is already inside you, ready to rise one step, one choice, one brave moment at a time.

    004:The Words You Repeat Are Shaping Your Life More Than You Know

    Your words are not just words; they are the blueprint from which your life is being built. Kimberly Rash opens up about the painful mantras she carried from childhood, including the belief that she had to leave before she was left, and how years of negative self-talk kept her stuck and unable to love herself. Drawing on personal stories, the science of vibration, and Dr. Masaru Emoto's famous rice experiment, she shows how the thoughts we repeat daily shape our neural pathways, our beliefs, and the entire direction of our lives. The shift begins the moment we start choosing words that reflect who we are becoming rather than who we have been told we are. You do not have to change everything overnight. Start small, catch yourself, and choose one thought that speaks life over who you are becoming.

    003: Why Forced Gratitude Isn't Working and What to Do Instead

    What if gratitude wasn't about pretending everything is fine — but about finally seeing clearly even when life is hard? Kimberly Rash gets refreshingly honest about what gratitude actually is and what it isn't. She unpacks the difference between genuine thankfulness and toxic positivity, shares the science behind how a consistent gratitude practice can reduce stress, lower anxiety, improve sleep, and even reduce inflammation, and walks through the real-life ways she cultivates gratefulness (from morning office rituals to prayer and worship). Whether you journal, meditate, pray, or sing, Kimberly makes the case that finding your own gratitude practice isn't just good for your soul… It's backed by research. Gratitude doesn't ask you to ignore your reality. It invites you to stay grounded in it - and from that place, real change begins.

    002:The Root Release and Rise Method for Life Transitions

    You already know something needs to change. You're just not sure where to begin. Kimberly Rash gets real about her own in-between season, sharing how a looming shift in her 21-year career pushed her to finally start asking harder questions about her future. She walks listeners through her signature Root, Release, and Rise framework — a simple, three-part approach to getting unstuck without having to have everything figured out first. Rooting means returning to what's already true and good about you. Releasing means gently letting go of old beliefs, patterns, and stories that no longer fit. Rising means choosing just one small move - in the next 24 hours - in the direction of who you're becoming. You don't need a perfect plan to move forward. Small, quiet decisions made every day are what actually create change. Grab the Affirmations here: https://preview.mailerlite.io/forms/2289233/185569059090204460/share

    001: How to Stop Overthinking and Get Out of Your Own Way

    You are the only thing standing between where you are now and the life you actually want. Kimberly Rash gets refreshingly real in this debut episode, sharing how overthinking, self-doubt, fear of judgment, and the endless wait to "feel ready" are the invisible walls we build around our own potential. She weaves in her own vulnerable story of re-recording this very episode over ten times, proving that getting in your own way doesn't always look dramatic; sometimes it just looks like staying the same while your brain convinces you you're moving forward. The takeaway is simple but powerful: you don't need to have it all figured out to take the next step. You are not stuck… you are becoming.
