Walking in My Purpose Again: How Reclaiming My Energy Helped Me Reclaim My God-Given Purpose
Healing can touch far more than your physical body. When you have spent years struggling with exhaustion, brain fog, low energy, physical pain, menopause symptoms, and the frustration of not feeling like yourself, the effects can reach into your emotions, your faith, your creativity, and even your sense of purpose.
That is exactly what happened to me.
For a long time, I felt as though parts of my life were slowly shutting down. I still loved God. I still believed He had a calling on my life. I still knew there were books inside me to write, women I wanted to encourage, videos I wanted to create, and work I believed I was supposed to do.
The problem was that I no longer had the energy or mental clarity to do much of it.
Then my health journey took a dramatic turn.
In the previous part of this series, I shared about trying a wellness drink and experiencing a remarkable change in how I felt. The brain fog that had made thinking and communicating so difficult began to lift. I felt more awake and energetic, and during that same season, the lingering respiratory problems I had been dealing with finally began improving.
What happened next surprised me just as much.
I began finding myself again.
Menopause, Brain Fog, and Losing Your Sense of Purpose
Women going through menopause and midlife changes can experience challenges that reach far beyond hot flashes. Fatigue, poor concentration, brain fog, sleep problems, changing energy levels, and emotional exhaustion can affect almost every area of life.
For me, the mental fog was one of the hardest parts.
Writing has always been important to me, yet there were years when writing became incredibly difficult. My thoughts felt scattered, focusing required more energy than I had available, and creativity seemed buried beneath exhaustion.
I knew there were things I wanted to say, but getting them from my mind onto the page felt almost impossible.
When my energy and clarity began returning, one of the first things that happened was that I started writing again.
It felt like someone had turned the lights back on.
Words started flowing. Ideas returned. Creativity began waking up. I was able to focus long enough to take ideas and actually finish them.
I completed two books.
I began creating content again.
I started dreaming about what was possible again.
That meant more to me than simply being productive. It felt like reconnecting with a part of myself that I thought I had lost.
My purpose was waking up.
When Energy Changes What You Believe Is Possible
My basement had become another physical reminder of everything I had been unable to accomplish.
It needed serious attention, but during the years when my health and energy were struggling, the thought of cleaning and organizing it felt overwhelming. After dealing with a serious lung infection during that season, the basement became even more connected in my mind with a chapter of life I desperately wanted to move beyond.
As my strength returned, something shifted.
Instead of looking downstairs and thinking, “I can’t possibly do this,” I started thinking about where I could begin.
I had the energy to move things. I had enough mental clarity to organize. I could make decisions without becoming completely overwhelmed. Little by little, I began preparing my home for a new season.
Cleaning a basement may not sound spiritual, but to me it represented movement.
I had spent so long feeling stuck physically, mentally, and emotionally that being able to work toward something again felt significant.
My life was beginning to move forward.
Walking in My God-Given Purpose Again
The transformation did not stop with writing or cleaning my home.
I began making videos again.
I started building my business again.
I began creating resources for women again.
Most importantly, I felt connected to the calling God had placed on my life.
One of the greatest things exhaustion can steal is your ability to participate fully in your own purpose. You may know what God has called you toward, but when simply getting through the day consumes everything you have, pursuing that calling can feel impossible.
That is why this transformation became about much more than having additional energy.
I felt alive again.
I felt awake again.
I felt capable of moving forward again.
I don’t believe God had forgotten me during those difficult years. I don’t believe He abandoned me when I was exhausted, discouraged, or unable to accomplish what I thought I should be doing.
God was still present. In every single step, He was present.
Looking back, I can see His faithfulness even in the years when very little seemed to be changing.
Then He brought something across my path that I had known virtually nothing about.
The Wellness Drink That Became Part of My Transformation
A wellness drink became an important part of my personal wellness routine, and I believe it has played a meaningful role in supporting how I feel today.
For me, that has included better energy, improved mental clarity, greater focus, and feeling more capable of participating in the life God has given me.
I do not see it as a miracle cure or a replacement for appropriate medical care. I see it as one piece of a much bigger wellness journey, and I am deeply grateful to God for leading me to it when He did.
Because regaining energy was not simply about accomplishing more.
It gave me the ability to write again.
To create again.
To serve again.
To dream again.
To walk in my purpose again.
Your Purpose May Still Be Waiting for You
Maybe you are a woman over 40, 50, or 60 who feels as though exhaustion, menopause, brain fog, health struggles, or simply years of carrying too much have pushed your dreams into the background.
Please do not assume that the chapter you are living in today is the final chapter of your story.
Your purpose does not expire because you reached midlife.
God does not retire women from their calling because they turned 40, 50, 60, or beyond.
There may still be books to write, people to encourage, businesses to build, ministries to begin, relationships to strengthen, places to serve, and dreams God has not finished unfolding.
Sometimes reclaiming your purpose begins by finally having enough strength to take the next step.
That is what happened for me.
In Part 4 of this series, I am finally sharing the wellness system behind this part of my health journey, what I personally use, how it supports my overall wellness, and why I continue using it today.
If you are ready to reclaim more energy, clarity, and purpose in your own life, stay with me.
Your next chapter may be closer than you think.
