Pivot with Purpose and Hope // Katherine Wolf

"I also give myself permission to dream new dreams for my life and to not be wedded to the dreams from when I was a child... I have the ability to pivot into the story that God is writing and not be insistent on a story that's no longer available... God is on the move in this story right in front of my nose if I have eves to see that." — Katherine Wolf

Everything doesn't always work out the way we hope it will. Certainly, Katherine Wolf's life didn't go as planned. As a new mom in her twenties, Katherine suffered a stroke that nearly took her life and did take many of her abilities. Yet, she is one of the most hope-filled people you could meet. She shares today about how she was able to pivot from her expectations and learned to embrace her new "assignment from God" with hope. She shares about living with purpose in the right now, being emotionally agile, escaping the "what if" loop, and dreaming new dreams. It's a conversation you won't want to miss.
