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.

    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.

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

    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.

    Hey You - Don’t Let Impatience Make the Decision for You

    Hey you—just because you're scared it won't happen for you doesn't mean you need to settle for what's available right now. Maybe you're watching everyone else move forward while you feel like you're falling behind. They're getting married, finding their people, building careers, having families, reaching milestones—and you're starting to wonder if you're missing your chance. That fear can make almost anything start looking like an answer to prayer. But not everything that shows up is from God. In this Hey You episode, we're talking about what can happen when impatience starts making our decisions for us, why fear of missing out can convince us to lower our standards, and how the enemy can use a counterfeit that looks almostright to distract us from God's best. I'm also walking you through the five non-negotiables I believe you need to know before you're faced with the decision—because it's a lot easier to recognize what isn't for you when you've already decided what you refuse to compromise. You are not behind. You are not running out of time. And you don't have to grab something simply because you're afraid nothing better is coming. Sometimes waiting requires more faith than saying yes. Don't let your fear of missing out convince you to settle for something God never asked you to choose. Support the show If this episode encouraged you, share it with someone who needs it.

    Hey You - Don’t Let Impatience Make the Decision for You

  7. Sep 23

    What If You Make the Wrong Decision?

    What if you make the wrong decision? What if you misunderstand God, choose the wrong door, move somewhere you weren’t supposed to, take the opportunity that doesn’t work out, or make a choice you eventually regret? I think sometimes we put so much pressure on ourselves to perfectly figure out God’s will that following Him becomes less about trust and more about being terrified of getting it wrong. In this episode, we’re talking about decision-making, discernment, our need for certainty, and the fear that one wrong choice could somehow derail the life God has for us. Because maybe you’re not actually afraid of making the wrong decision. Maybe you’re afraid of getting the wrong outcome. You want God to give you direction—but you also want Him to guarantee that it’ll work, you won’t fail, you won’t get hurt, and you won’t regret it. But faith was never supposed to give us control over the future. Sometimes God gives us enough light for the next step without showing us the entire road. And even if you do get something wrong, you are not beyond God’s ability to redirect you. You don’t need enough clarity to control the outcome. You need enough trust to take the next faithful step.

    Hey You - The Long Way Is Not the Wrong Way

    Hey you—are you starting to wonder why it's taking God so long? You've prayed. You've waited. You've watched other people receive the things you've been asking for. And maybe you're starting to wonder if God heard you at all. But what if taking longer doesn't mean you're going the wrong way? In this Hey You episode, I'm reminding you that the long way is not the wrong way. Sometimes the journey is longer because God isn't only preparing the blessing—He's drawing you closer to Him in the process. Think about giving someone you love a birthday present. If you could, wouldn't you rather hand it to them yourself than put it in the mail? That's the picture I want you to think about. Sometimes we're asking God, “Why haven't You given this to me yet?” while He's saying, “Come closer.” Maybe the waiting isn't evidence that God has forgotten you. Maybe there's something He's building in you, teaching you, or drawing you toward before you arrive at the thing you've been praying for. Don't become so consumed with receiving the blessing that you miss the relationship with the One giving it. The long way is not the wrong way—and sometimes the greatest thing God gives you along the way is a deeper relationship with Him.
