Are you in a season of waiting? Have you struggled with waiting on God’s timing especially when it comes to romantic relationships?
In this thought-provoking episode of Shift Happens, I sit down with my dear friend Beatrice to explore her story of faith, culture, and courage. She opens up about the cultural expectations she faced around dating and relationships as a Romanian—and why she chose a different path. We dive into what it means to trust God with your love life, especially when His timing doesn’t match yours, and how she holds onto hope while waiting for the right person.
Beatrice also shares the inspiration behind starting her own podcast, what she’s learned through heartbreak, and how her experiences have shaped her views on identity, purpose, and pivoting in both life and work. This episode is full of raw honesty, wisdom, and encouragement for anyone navigating the tension between cultural norms and personal convictions.
Whether you’re single, in a season of waiting, or needing a reminder that God’s plan is worth trusting, this conversation will speak to your heart.
