The Closet Dressed Woman Podcast

Are you struggling to hear God’s voice in the middle of a chaotic season? In this episode, Caren Regina addresses the disconnect between your faith and your reality. This isn't a lesson on "believing harder", it is a mentorship session on why spiritual information isn't producing real-world results in your life, business, or home. If you are a Christian woman leader facing spiritual burnout or workplace conflict, you’ve likely felt that "Holy Spirit talk" can sometimes feel like a cliché. Caren reveals how to move past the noise and activate Holy Spirit as the Architect of your life’s infrastructure. If you are tired of "blessing a mess" and ready to build with spiritual authority, this episode is your blueprint. In this episode, we explore: Beyond the Cliché: How to move from knowing about Holy Spirit to building with Holy Spirit. Corporate & Business Strategy: Using spiritual discernment to navigate difficult coworkers and professional plateaus. The Truth Sit-Down: A practical strategy to align your daily schedule with divine instruction. Resources Mentioned: Join The Closet: Ready to build your secret place? [CLICK HERE]

This world is full of mess, distractions, and foolishness and God’s answer was never more human strength, strategy, or effort. It was His Spirit. In this episode, we confront the audacity of God to dwell in human beings through Holy Spirit and why Scripture makes it clear: “Not by might, not by power, but by My Spirit.” New territory does not open through discipline alone. It opens through spiritual alignment. If you are stepping into a new season, a new month, or new territory, this message is a wake-up call. Holy Spirit is not optional, supplemental, or symbolic, He is God’s power, authority, and direction at work in the earth today. This episode will challenge passive faith, expose misplaced dependence, and realign you with what actually moves God’s purposes forward. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Who Holy Spirit really is according to Scripture Why God chose His Spirit, not human might, as the solution What “new territory” actually requires spiritually How to make Holy Spirit effective in your daily life Why alignment matters more than effort in this season Key Scripture: “Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit,” says the Lord of hosts. — Zechariah 4:6 Invitation: Join The Closet If this episode is stirring something in you, you’re invited into The Closet - CLICK HERE >> Pay what you can.

Entering a new season with God can feel exciting and disorienting at the same time. When you step into new territory, new responsibility, new calling, new visibility, it’s easy to confuse anxiety with discernment and overthinking with wisdom. In this episode, we talk about how to stop spiraling and start trusting God when clarity feels far away. Using the biblical story of King Jehoshaphat, we break down what faith actually looks like when you don’t have a plan, don’t feel ready, and don’t know the next move, yet you know God is leading you forward. This conversation is for anyone navigating a new season, struggling with fear or anxiety, or learning how to trust God without constant confirmation. You’ll learn why confusion isn’t a sign you missed God, how to respond when fear gets loud, and what obedience looks like when you’re entering unfamiliar territory. If you’ve been waiting to feel more confident before moving, this episode will help you reset your focus, regulate your emotions, and take the next obedient step with peace and clarity. In this episode, we cover: What “entering new territory with God” really feels like The difference between discernment and anxiety Why spiraling is not wisdom and how to interrupt it Lessons from King Jehoshaphat on trusting God without a clear plan How to rebuild confidence and move forward in faith What to do when fear is loud but God is steady This episode is for you if you’re: Entering a new season or major transition Feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or spiritually stuck Struggling to trust God without more signs or confirmation Learning how to walk in obedience without having all the answers Work With Me / Stay Connected If you’re ready to stop overthinking and start moving forward with clarity, discipline, and faith, here are two ways to connect deeper: Closet 15👉🏽  [CLICK HERE, Closet 15] Closet Mentorship👉🏽 [CLICK HERE, Closet Mentorship]

What do you do when a new season begins, and you honestly don’t know what to do next? In this episode, we explore faith when clarity is missing, pressure feels heavy, and trust feels harder than usual. While the world pushes “new year, new you,” this conversation takes a different approach, one rooted in honesty, surrender, and biblical truth. Drawing from the story of King Jehoshaphat, we look at a powerful moment where he stood before God in one of the most vulnerable seasons of his life and simply said, “I do not know what to do, but my eyes are on You.” That kind of honesty didn’t repel God, it moved Him. This episode is for anyone who: Is trusting God but still feels anxious Is navigating an unexpected responsibility or transition Feels pressure to have answers they don’t yet have Wants a faith-based perspective for uncertain seasons Needs encouragement without spiritual performance You’ll be reminded that not knowing doesn’t mean you’re behind, it may be the very place God meets you.

“Pressing forward doesn’t always look like progress, sometimes it looks like endurance, and endurance is not weakness.” - Caren W.

A Revelation From the Cutting Room In this episode: Caren shares how a new season requires a new spiritual wardrobe, beginning with the first garment: rest. You’ll learn why God lets the “fabric of your life” rest before He cuts the pattern for your next assignment, and why stillness is the doorway to becoming the Closet Dressed Woman He designed.

In this raw and sacred episode, Caren opens the door to a deeply personal chapter of her life, the divine story behind why The Closèt includes a “Pay What You Can” option. What many see as generosity is actually obedience rooted in pain, pause, and prophetic instruction. Caren shares the dark season where her husband went blind, money was tight, and access to spiritual growth felt out of reach. From that valley came a conviction: no daughter of God should be denied transformation due to cost. This is more than a business model. It’s a mantle. It’s oil. And it’s holy. JOIN THE WAITLIST >>

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:  The Enemy Only Attacks What Is Powerful: If you are feeling immense resistance, it’s because the enemy sees something in you that you may not even recognize yet. Just like Pharaoh feared the growth of Israel, the enemy fears what God is birthing in you. Fear Can Either Paralyze You or Propel You: Fear is a natural response to uncertainty, but what you do with that fear matters. The Hebrew midwives feared God more than Pharaoh, and because of that, they protected what God was birthing. Will you let fear stop you, or will you let it be a sign that you’re stepping into something greater? God Has Already Prepared Your Exodus: Deliverance doesn’t start when you feel ready; it starts when you trust God. Even when Israel was still enslaved, God was already setting Moses apart as their deliverer. You don’t have to see the whole path, just take the first step. 🗣️ Conversation Moment: The enemy only attacks what is powerful. Pharaoh didn’t fear Israel because of where they were, he feared them because of who they were becoming. If you’re feeling attacked, it’s because your potential is undeniable. 🔑 Closet Key: Fear will always try to kill what God is birthing in you. The Hebrew midwives were told to kill the promise before it was born, but they feared God more than Pharaoh. We have to choose whether to fear our lack of resources or God’s ability to provide. 📌 Assignment: Identify your Pharaoh. What is keeping you bound? Is it fear? Comfort? Financial security? Write it down and ask God to show you what He’s already preparing for your Exodus. MORE TO FOLLOW IN YOUR EMAIL IN-BOX  📧 👩🏽‍💻 FREE Life Class → The Power of The Shut Door, REGISTER HERE!
