Hi, beautiful ladies, and welcome to the She Is Enough Podcast, the place where we remind ourselves that our worth isn't something we earn.
00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:12.240
It's something we've already been given by God.
00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:20.399
I'm your host, Jocelyn Ortiz, and like many of you, I'm learning what it means to trust God through life's unexpected seasons.
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:24.480
This isn't a podcast from someone who's figured it all out.
00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:28.399
It's a space where we walk together while we're becoming.
00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:36.640
Whether you're navigating grief, motherhood, healing, setting boundaries, or rediscovering yourself, you belong here.
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:44.079
We speak Spanglish here, Lo siento, Auelita, because we live in both worlds and both are sacred.
00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:49.679
So grab your cafecito, get comfortable, and let's walk through this season together.
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:53.119
Abuelita, this is still for you.
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:59.920
Hi amiga, welcome back to the She Is Enough podcast.
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:02.640
If you're a returning listener, welcome home.
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:07.680
If you're new here, I'm so glad you found this little corner of the internet.
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:22.400
My name's Jocelyn, and this podcast has always been a place where we talk about faith, healing, purpose, womanhood, and learning that we are already enough.
00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:27.519
Not because we earned it, but because that's who God says we are.
00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:32.000
Today I honestly wasn't sure if I was going to press record.
00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:49.040
I've recorded this episode or a version of this episode several times before realizing I was trying to sound like the old version of myself, the version that already had the answers, but that's not where I am right now.
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:51.359
And I think that's okay.
00:01:52.719 --> 00:02:06.480
Last year, if y'all go back to my first episode, I lost my grandmother, my abuelita, and then this year we unexpectedly lost my father-in-law.
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:10.479
And grief changes a lot of things.
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:17.840
It changes our nervous system, it changes our priorities, it changes what brings us joy.
00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:28.240
And people think that grief is simply missing someone, and it is, but grief also changes the person who's left behind.
00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:34.319
You don't just lose someone you love, you become someone you've never been before.
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:42.159
And I think in this season, I'm learning and understanding who that person is.
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:47.280
Shopping used to be something that I loved and enjoyed doing.
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:52.319
And now that I look at things, I'm like, I don't really need them.
00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:58.080
And I feel like I value just time with my family.
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:14.400
And one of my favorite moments this month has been watching my daughter in the pool have the courage and the bravery to swim across the pool without a life jacket, and her being so excited because mom and dad were cheering her on.
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:17.599
And I find joy in that.
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:35.360
And even in those glimpses where I'm finding, you know, little joys, I sometimes feel guilt uh because of it, but then I embrace it because joy is going to mean something different for me than it is for you.
00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:46.639
I've uh questioned whether I should keep this podcast because I wondered how I could encourage others while I'm struggling.
00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:53.039
And that's why I'm probably on version four of this episode.
00:03:53.199 --> 00:04:01.360
I wasn't sure if I was gonna continue with season two, if I was gonna start a new season completely, or if I was even gonna continue.
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:09.680
I am in the midst, and maybe you've told yourself this.
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:13.039
Um, I'll come back once I'm healed.
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:17.120
I'll come back once I've figured everything out.
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:22.800
But what if God isn't asking you to wait until we're finished?
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:28.319
I kept trying to use the same tools that worked in previous seasons.
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:42.319
So every time I kept recording, I was recording, trying to, you know, give tips and be able to like say, I'm here, and I'm just not in that season anymore.
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:52.959
I kept trying to use those same tools that worked in previous sessions, so like goal setting, productivity, pushing harder, setting boundaries.
00:04:53.279 --> 00:05:00.160
And you know, I kept trying to fix myself at the same time as I'm like recording these episodes.
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:02.959
And I'm don't get me wrong, right?
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:04.240
Like none of those things are bad.
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:07.439
Like I still use some of those tools depending on the day.
00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:10.560
They're just simply not what I need right now.
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:20.959
And right now, God is teaching me to rest, he's teaching me to trust, he's teaching me to receive and be present.
00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:33.519
Sometimes we spend so much energy trying to become the old version of ourselves that we completely miss who God is inviting us to become today.
00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:36.079
So, welcome to the season.
00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:47.040
Welcome to this version of Jocelyn, the one who's learning, grieving, rediscovering joy and becoming.
00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:51.839
And to be honest with you, I have no idea who she's becoming.
00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:57.360
I it's funny how life kind of takes you in different directions.
00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:01.600
I I'm not a new year, new me type of person.
00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:13.920
And if you've heard previous episodes, you've

heard me say this before, but I started this year with goals and intentions, and life is life, right?
00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:24.399
I think uh if you're still listening right now, um, you probably are lifeing or uh figuring it out, and that's kind of the season that I'm in right now.
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:29.120
So I'm becoming, I'm learning who this version of me is.
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:35.600
And um before I continue, I want to say a prayer for all of us.
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:47.360
God, thank you for meeting us in the middle, teaching us to embrace the women we're becoming instead of mourning the woman we've outgrown.
00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:55.759
Thank you for all that you give us and for never leaving our side.
00:06:56.160 --> 00:07:07.199
For when things get so tough that you wonder if you're alone, but then you look to your side and realize that you're always with us.
00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:45.839
And sometimes in our darkest moments is when you accompany us and continue to tell us to just have a little faith, to just have a little faith that everything's going to be okay, that the storm isn't going to be the storm forever, that we're going to continue to blossom and we're going to continue to be maybe not the same version of ourselves, but a new version that is with you, that is by your side, and that never gives up.
00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:54.319
That we might get scared, that we might wonder what is going on, but we're never alone.
00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:59.519
So thank you, ladies, for tuning in.
00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:09.040
I want to set the stage, or I guess the intention of what this season or yeah, what this season of She is Enough is gonna look like.
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:25.680
Um, I revamped the branding and revamped the cover um because I think it's appropriate to switch things up and realize that season one of me is very different than season three.
00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:31.439
Uh season one, I come from a place where I'm teaching.
00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:35.200
I'm talking about strategies that help me.
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:36.720
I'm talking about faith.
00:08:36.799 --> 00:08:40.559
I'm talking about life is messy like spaghetti, right?
00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:46.000
And I'm talking about how I'm learning all these tools or I've learned all these tools.
00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:49.360
And we have a lot of fun, right?
00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:53.519
Uh, I think there were some uh deeper episodes, right?
00:08:53.600 --> 00:09:04.000
I think I talked about suicide prevention month and you know, my story with that, and I fully will continue to tell stories.
00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:06.799
Um, but I want this to be more of a chat, right?
00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:13.840
So come chat with me, come discover and figure out what we're doing.
00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:16.480
Uh have your favorite drink, right?
00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:21.200
I'm recording this at night, so I'm not having my coffecito, which I love.
00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:27.519
Uh, I am having a zero sugar sparkling ice.
00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:30.960
Uh, I think it's like cherry lining, it's delicious.
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:35.360
Um, but yeah, this is meant to be kind of like a conversation.
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:41.360
It's meant to be hey, come chat, let's figure life out together.
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:46.720
Um, so yeah, going back to the branding, I switched it up.
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:55.360
The photo that I put is me sitting on a couch uh journaling, and I'm not wearing shoes.
00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:59.440
And I I was trying to figure out what picture I was gonna use.
00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:09.360
And uh Chaz, which actually she took my photos the first time around where I'm wearing like the colorful dress.
00:10:10.159 --> 00:10:18.080
And when I was taking that picture, I was scared, honestly, because I hadn't kicked off the podcast yet.
00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:21.200
I had been recording, preparing, doing coaching.
00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:27.919
And I remember when she was taking my pictures, there were glimpses where I was like, okay, I got this, I got this.
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:35.919
And I remember when she was taking this picture, I was like secretly like, okay, take a deep breath, take a deep breath, take a deep breath.
00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:36.799
It's okay.
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:41.759
Um, and I couldn't believe that I was going to do this.
00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:50.399
I think one of the videos that I did in that photo shoot, I announced that I was she is enough was coming out.
00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:54.799
And I don't think Chaz knew like uh the name of it or anything like that.
00:10:54.879 --> 00:11:00.000
So I remember when she was recording, she was like, I could see the smile on her face.
00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:06.399
But I feel like it's that's kind of the vibe that's gonna be.
00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:09.600
Like, I'm not gonna be all put together in this season.
00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:18.080
Like, maybe I wasn't put together in the other one either, but um, I'm not gonna portray that I have it all figured out.
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:43.840
I do have tools in my toolbox, and I plan to take them out, but it's really meant to just be really chill, like take your shoes off, or don't like it's supposed to be a conversation, and I want you to feel like you're sitting next to me on that couch and we're just chatting, we're just figuring it out, talking about different things, right?
00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:47.919
Talking about faith, talking about being brave.
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:51.679
Um I'm being very brave right now.
00:11:51.759 --> 00:12:00.559
Uh, as I hit record, it's been very scary to think about where I was gonna go to next with this with this podcast.
00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:11.919
And I'm very glad that I'm here, and I'm very glad that I had bravery in this moment and that God gave me the courage to keep going.
00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:39.519
I listened to a beautiful message today at church, and it was about taking those courageous steps and taking having those 20 seconds of bravery to follow what God is intending for you to do, and He doesn't expect you to do it perfectly, He doesn't expect you to have all the answers, He just expects you to have faith and to just take small steps.
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:44.240
So today is going to be a very short episode.
00:12:44.559 --> 00:13:07.600
I just want to let you know that I am coming back, not the same version I was a year ago, but I am coming back as me and who I am in this season, and we're going to discover her at the same time, and I hope that you enjoy it.
00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:21.679
I hope that you enjoy this new season, and if you're having a hard time right now, I will keep you in my prayers and know that each day is a new day.
00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:35.279
Each day is a new day to smile, to reset, and to know that there are gonna be hard days, even when we have all of the faith in the world.
00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:49.120
There are gonna be hard days and then there's gonna be good days, and we should embrace them, embrace all of the beauty and all of the smiles, and all the giggles, and all of the things that bring us joy.
00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:53.919
And I hope that you have a wonderful and amazing day.
00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:58.080
Thank you for joining me, and I'll see you in the next episode.
