Should I Build If I’m Struggling?

What if struggling doesn’t disqualify you from building—what if it’s actually part of the process?

In this episode of Unlocking You, we explore the deeply honest question many purpose-driven, faith-filled people wrestle with but rarely say out loud: Should I build, pursue my calling, or keep showing up if I’m still struggling emotionally, mentally, or spiritually?

If you’ve ever felt like you need to be “fully healed” before you can pursue your purpose…
If you’ve questioned whether your anxiety, trauma, burnout, or depression means you should pause everything…
If you’ve worried that building while struggling makes you a hypocrite…

This episode is for you.

We talk about:

• Why the belief that you must be healed before you build is not biblical and often rooted in trauma
• How God often hides healing inside obedience, movement, and assignment
• How purpose, calling, and emotional healing are often designed to unfold together
• What to do when you feel weak, exhausted, or discouraged but still feel called to move forward

This is a compassionate, faith-based conversation for Christians navigating trauma recovery, emotional overwhelm, identity healing, and purpose—especially when life feels heavy and unclear.

You don’t have to wait until you’re “better” to be faithful.
You don’t have to be perfect to be called.
And you don’t have to abandon your assignment just because you’re human.

✨ If you’re asking, “Can God really use me while I’m still struggling?”—this episode will meet you right where you are.
