When the Plan Changes: Navigating Disappointment with Faith

The middle of the year is here—and with it comes an important question:

Where are you?

In this deeply personal solo episode of the Day One Podcast, I invite listeners to pause, evaluate, and reflect on the first half of the year. Are you on pace for what God called you to do? Have life’s unexpected detours shifted your plans?

Drawing inspiration from sports, faith, and my family's ongoing journey through my son's cancer diagnosis and relapse, I share how I navigated disappointment, grief, anger, and uncertainty while learning to trust God in the middle of the unknown.

This episode is an honest conversation about what it means to show up when life doesn't go according to plan—and how to pause, pivot, and press on without giving up.

In this episode, you'll discover:

How to navigate disappointment with faith
Why it's okay to honor your humanity and emotions
The importance of pausing before pressing forward
How to seek God's strategy in difficult seasons
Why your setbacks don't determine the final score
Practical encouragement for your mid-year reset

Whether you're facing unexpected news, delayed dreams, or simply need encouragement to keep going, this episode is a reminder that you're still in the game—and it's not over.

Your Day One Move: Find your place to commune with God. Be honest with Him. Pour it all out. Then allow Him to show you where to prepare, pivot, and press on.

Because no matter what life brings, show up every day like it's Day One. Connect with Host Giselle Quintanilla
