Woman Evolve with Sarah Jakes Roberts

Sep 1 · 51m

What if slowing down doesn't mean you stop moving, sis, but that you learn how to move without running yourself into the ground? As a mother, wife, fitness coach, and business owner, Grow With Jo shares what it looks like to find rest without retreating from life, but returning to God. She opens up about the challenges that pushed her to her knees this year, and how they pulled her deeper into the book of Proverbs. At the heart of this conversation is active rest—the practice of prioritizing recovery. So if life has you doing the absolute most this season, press play. Consider this your permission slip to breathe. Check out specials from our partners! Shopify: Your landlord has a small business. Your ex has a small business. What are you waiting for?

Sarah Jakes Roberts sits down with licensed therapist and leadership strategist RaQuel Hopkins for a powerful conversation about what it really means to have capacity when life keeps asking more of you. RaQuel breaks down the difference between simply coping and developing the capacity to stay present through uncertainty, change, vulnerability, and the complexities of everyday life. SJR also gets personal about rebuilding trust in herself after her accident, navigating the pressure to show up strong while still feeling unfinished, and learning to embrace vulnerability without seeing it as weakness. Together, Sarah and RaQuel explore self-trust, identity, emotional resilience, conditional self-worth, caregiving, and why growth sometimes requires us to question the stories we’ve accepted about who we have to be. Whether you’re navigating burnout, a major life transition, grief, uncertainty, or simply trying to figure out how to carry what’s on your plate, this conversation is an invitation to stop living on autopilot, get curious about what life is developing in you, and learn how to stay present with yourself along the way.

We should be posted up in ATL right now, sis, gearing up for the Woman Evolve Conference. Instead, we’re home—and if that’s got you in your feelings, our girl SJR says keep the pity party short. And we mean short, short! ‘Cause this “off” season we’re all side-eyeing is still an opportunity to respond to God's call. In this episode, we’re revisiting a powerful testimony from Christine Caine at last year’s conference. She took us back to a story we can’t ignore. Chile…y’all remember Lot’s wife? She’s the prime example that your best days aren’t behind you, babe. And while looking back might feel safe, best believe—it’ll cost you.
