In this episode of God-Sized Dreams, Melissa Batt sits down with Kristina Borseti, host of the Organized on Purpose podcast, to share a raw, hope-filled story of what happens when God asks you to slow down, surrender, and say a quiet but costly yes.

Kristina opens up about years of hustling, striving for achievement, wrestling with anxiety and depression, and ignoring the gentle nudges God kept placing on her heart. But through a health crisis, motherhood struggles, intrusive thoughts, and a moment that forced her to stop everything—God softened her heart and brought her back to a place of peace, clarity, and purpose.

If you’ve been stuck in cycles of overworking, avoiding your thoughts, pushing through overwhelm, or fearing that slowing down will make everything fall apart… this episode will remind you that God meets you in the pause. There is hope. There is healing. And your surrendered yes can lead to a completely different kind of life.
