Have you ever woken up feeling like you were too much and not enough at the exact same time? Like no matter which version of yourself showed up, it still wasn't right?

This episode names the cycle that so many women are living inside without realizing it. We talk about where it starts, what it looks like in everyday life, and the one question that begins to interrupt it. Because the woman you keep editing is not a problem to be solved. She is just in rooms that were not built for her.

In this episode you will hear Sarah's own story of carrying this feeling from childhood through relationships and marriage, the difference between fear and wisdom when it comes to showing up, the power of Psalm 139:14 as a declaration made in the middle of the wound not after it healed, and a practical reflection exercise to begin rewriting the narrative.

You are not too much.

You have never been too much.

You were just in rooms that were never meant to hold you.

We often wait until we are finished -- finished healing, finished losing the weight, finished figuring it out -- before we let ourselves be seen. But what if the messy middle is exactly where God wants to use us?

In this episode of The Becoming Podcast: Faithful & Unfinished, Sarah Taylor sits down with her friend and photographer Shanika -- Captured by Shani. Shani has spent years behind the lens capturing women in their seasons of becoming, and she is walking through one of her own -- navigating a separation, motherhood across four different seasons, a new book, and a growing business. She brings all of it to this conversation.

Together they explore:

- Why vulnerability in the messy middle is a gift we give ourselves and others

- How identity rooted in faith anchors us when everything else is shifting

- The small daily steps that build real confidence from the inside out

- What it looks like to share while you are still in the process -- not after

- The role of community and sisterhood in sustaining us through hard seasons

- How honouring yourself frees you from the pressure to perform and perfect

- Trusting God's timing and provision even when the picture does not look how you planned

Shani also shares the vision God gave her about walking in the rain without an umbrella -- and what it taught her about His covering.

You don't have to be picture perfect to be worthy of love. And you don't have to be finished to be beautiful.

Podcast: Always Been That Girl

Do you have a date on the calendar that still feels like a wound? An anniversary of something painful, a birthday that reminds you how far behind you feel, a day that just aches every time it rolls around?

In this episode of The Becoming Podcast: Faithful & Unfinished, Sarah Taylor brings receipts. She walks through four specific dates in her own life -- the wedding day, the day she lost her job, the day she left an abusive marriage, the day she moved into a new apartment with nothing at 39 -- and shows exactly how God rewrote every single one.

This is not a pep talk. These are actual dates. Specific years. Real moments where the same day that once carried pain became the day everything changed.

This episode covers:

- Why certain dates feel like phantom aches, even years later

- How God used July 1st, March 17th, January 15th, and February 1st in Sarah's story

- Isaiah 61:3 -- a crown of beauty for ashes (and why her last name made this verse personal)

- Isaiah 43:18-19 -- the scripture God gave her for 2024 and how it came true word for word

- Why what looks like a failure cave might actually be your production studio

- A challenge for you: drop your date in the comments

If you feel behind today, this episode is for you.

What if rest is not the reward you get after doing enough -- but the foundation everything else is supposed to be built on?

In this episode of The Becoming Podcast: Faithful & Unfinished, Sarah Taylor gets honest about what happened when she committed to a full year of rest. Not a weekend. A year. She shares what it actually felt like (spoiler: not peaceful at first), the guilt and anxiety that came with slowing down, and the practical rhythms she had to build from scratch to stop running on empty.

This episode covers:

- Why rest feels uncomfortable -- and what that discomfort is actually telling you

- What a year of rest looked like in real life while working full time and raising a four-year-old

- How to find pockets of rest even in the busiest season

- The sleep hygiene practices that actually helped

- What Matthew 11:28-30 really means when Jesus says He will give you rest

- Why rest is not laziness -- it is releasing what you were never meant to carry

If you have been running on empty and wondering when it is going to feel like enough, this episode is for you.

Episode 4: "Who Are You When Nothing Is Happening?" Finding Your Identity in the Stillness

We love being busy. We love having a title, a role, a thing we are building or working toward. But what happens when all of that goes quiet?

In this episode of The Becoming Podcast, Sarah gets honest about one of the most disorienting parts of any healing journey: the season when nothing is happening on the outside, and God is doing everything on the inside.

Drawing from her own experience of rebuilding her identity after leaving an abusive marriage and again after starting over at 39, Sarah explores what it actually means to be still. Not passive. Not stuck. Still.

She digs into the difference between your identity and what you do, why so many women build their worth around performance and output, and what begins to shift when you finally stop and let God untangle who you are from what you produce.

This episode is for the woman who feels behind because she is not producing anything right now. The woman who is in a quiet season and cannot explain it to anyone. The woman who is starting to wonder if her purpose passed her by.

It did not. You are not falling behind. You are being built.

Psalm 46:10 | Proverbs 3:5-6

What happens after you say yes to the nudge? We often expect immediate clarity, fireworks, or a clear path forward. But more often than not, obedience leads us straight into a season of stillness.

In this episode, Sarah pulls back the curtain on the "free fall" -that disorienting time when the old door has closed but the new one hasn't opened. Drawing from her own pivot at age 40, Sarah reframes this season not as a delay, but as a necessary detox for your identity. If you feel like you are in limbo, this episode will remind you that you aren't lost; you are just being prepared.

Key Takeaways:

• The Free Fall is Normal: Silence after a big leap doesn't mean you made a mistake; it means you are in the "in-between."
• Obedience ≠ Instant Clarity: Sometimes obedience just brings stillness, and that is where the real work begins.
• Detoxing Identity: The waiting season strips away who you thought you had to be so you can become who you actually are.
• Surrender is Safety: Trusting the process means taking one step without needing to see the entire staircase.

Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me." — Psalm 23:4 (NLT)

This is for the woman who looks capable on the outside but feels disconnected on the inside. You don't need to wait until you break to start healing.

In this episode of The Becoming Podcast, I sit down with my dear friend Julie-Anne to talk about the things we usually hide: functional depression, the heaviness of shame, and the beautiful necessity of "purpose mates".... Friends who remind you of who you are when you forget.

We explore what it means to co-create your life with God and why noticing that small nudge in your soul means you've already started the work.

Topics We Explore:

• The Mask of Perfection: Navigating high-functioning depression and the pressure to perform.
• Purpose Mates: Finding female friendships that are safe harbors, not competition.
• Spiritual Anchors: moving from "survival mode" to trusting God's pace.

Episode 1: The Becoming Podcast

I used to think I was behind. After ending a 7 year relationship, bankruptcy, and losing the life I thought I was building, I realized something that changed everything: You are faithful, and you are unfinished, and that’s okay.

In this premiere episode of The Becoming Podcast, we are stripping away the "fitness expert" label to talk about the real work...the work of the soul. We discuss why it feels so scary to rest, how to trust God when the plan falls apart, and why your "torn hamstring" moments might actually be your greatest invitations to heal.

In this episode, we explore:

• Redeeming lost time after age 40
• Why "rest" feels so uncomfortable when you're used to grinding
• Moving from physical transformation to spiritual growth
• My personal story of losing it all and starting over
