In this inspiring episode of the Purposefully Fit podcast, host Coach Nik E—who is officially celebrating her new title as Reverend Dr. Nicole L. Ellis!—dives deeply into what it truly means to "Wait for the Vision". Drawing from her own remarkable journey of placing her doctorate on a vision board in 2013 and crossing the finish line in 2026, Coach Nick reminds us that waiting on God's timing is never passive. Instead, waiting is "active faith in motion".If you are in the "in-between" season between receiving a vision and seeing its manifestation, Coach Nick breaks down three practical, actionable steps to keep you moving forward:

• Write the vision clearly: You cannot run toward what you haven't defined. Write it down, revisit it often, and speak life over it daily.

• Work while you wait: Don't despise the waiting period. Use this time to actively develop your skills, build your discipline, and stay consistent.

• War in the waiting: You will inevitably face doubt and impostor syndrome. Learn how to combat these battles using prayer, faith, and the Word of God, reminding yourself that God is never confused about your calling.

If you have been sitting on a dream or feeling discouraged by the wait, this episode is your reminder that your vision is still valid, still possible, and will come to pass. Remember, achieving your vision isn't the end; it's simply the beginning of your next great chapter of purpose.

In this episode of the Purposefully Fit podcast, Coach Nick explores the challenging but necessary principle of "Submission Before Elevation." Aligning faith, fitness, and focus, she compares our spiritual and personal growth to training as a runner: just as you must endure the easy miles and follow a training plan to avoid burnout, you must submit to God's process before you can reach your true potential.

Coach Nick reminds us that submission is not weakness or playing small—it is alignment with God's will. Even if you are the most qualified, gifted, or experienced person in the room, true elevation requires a pure heart and a willingness to serve rather than just perform. Elevation without submission can lead to destruction, but submitting builds the character foundation needed to actually sustain your success.Tune in to learn Coach Nick's three practical tips for walking in submission:

• • Check your heart daily: Ensure your actions are driven by a desire to serve rather than simply to be seen.
  • Be faithful where you are: Stop waiting for the big stage and prove you can be trusted with the little things first.
  • Stay teachable: No matter how much you already know, stay open, humble, and willing to let God lead.

If you've been rushing your elevation or resisting the areas where you are being asked to submit, this episode will challenge your heart posture and help position you for exactly where you are meant to be.
