I’m Emily Grabatin, and this Welcoming Slow Growth Podcast is a space for God led writers, entrepreneurs, and creatives called to bring hope and healing through your work. This season, we’re exploring stories of like-hearted people who chose one word to guide who they’re becoming…and what happened in the process.
Take a deep breath and let’s settle in together.
You chose a word for the year. Maybe you made a vision board, wrote it in your journal, felt that quiet sense of this is it. And then life got full — and your word got a little lost.
This solo episode is your sweet invitation back.
In this word of the year reflection exercise, Emily shares a way to go deeper than January allowed. Using her own story of choosing grace — and the reluctant prayer that followed — she explores the question that unlocks everything else.
In this episode:
Why the first feeling your word stirs up might be the most important one to pay attention to
What your fear around your word is trying to tell you about where your real growth lies
How a bathroom renovation became an unexpected answer to a reluctant prayer about grace
Your word story is still being written. Come find out how to write its new chapter in your spiritual growth.
