Change can feel uncomfortable. Especially when life has been familiar for a long time. But what if change isn’t something to fear? What if it’s part of how God grows us into what’s next?

In this guest episode of the Encouragement for Real Life podcast, Julie sits down with her friend Libby Conder. Libby is a wife, mom, career coach, and woman of faith. She is also learning to embrace change rather than resist it.

Libby describes this season of her life as moving from the caterpillar stage into the butterfly stage. She’s excited about what God has ahead.

Together, Julie and Libby talk about moving through change one step at a time. Fear can make us want to stay where things feel safe. Change can involve loss and discomfort. But it can also open doors to new possibilities.

Libby Conder helps us to embrace what's next.

They also discuss the importance of relationships and supporting other women. Libby shares what helps her stay present in the life God has given her. She also explains why relationships are central to her definition of an abundant life. Time in God’s Word, church, and meaningful community help keep her grounded.

If change has you wondering what comes next, this conversation will encourage you. You don’t have to have it all figured out right now. You can choose to not let fear keep you where you are.

God can open doors. He can provide what you need. And He can lead you into a life you may not yet be able to see.

As Libby reminds us, life keeps moving. Through every change, we can hold tightly to the hand of our Savior.

Plus, Julie shares a final reminder about Abundant Life Together Founding Member enrollment, which ends August 31.
