“Jesus, I surrender myself to you. Take care of everything.”
How do people find hope in the darkest times? This instalment of "Speak Truth" with holistic life coach Stacey Ziegler centres on waiting, faith, and learning to celebrate ordinary days, especially for mums wrestling with addiction or unhealthy habits. Stacey talks about how easy it is to get caught up in future milestones—weddings, babies, anniversaries—while missing the grace of today.
She shares her own joyful anticipation of becoming a grandmother, joking about what her grandson should call her and how "grandma" feels "too old". That light-hearted moment sits alongside much heavier memories of a long season of waiting to marry her now-husband. Through her story of living with her fiancé while his annulment went through the church, Stacey describes deep spiritual tension, calling it a "spiritual, moral death" and feeling torn between choosing God or the man she loved.
She explains how she stayed grounded by taking "one day at a time, right? One day, one step, one choice at a time," praying the rosary and clinging to scripture while longing to return fully to the sacraments. The episode’s heartbeat is surrender. Stacey repeats the simple prayer, "Jesus, I surrender myself to you. Take care of everything," as a daily way to handle anxiety, uncertainty and longing—for sobriety, healing, or major life events.
She reminds her audience that "tomorrow's never promised" and that what happens during the waiting is often where God quietly reshapes the heart. You’ll hear encouragement to find joy in small steps, to celebrate being alive today, and to trust that every season—even the painful ones—can draw you closer to Christ.
If you’re a woman feeling stuck, empty, or impatient for life to finally change, this gentle, faith-filled chat might be the nudge to pause, breathe, and see that every day is worth celebrating. What would change for you if you treated today as a gift rather than a hurdle?
