Sometimes life changes in ways we didn’t expect, and somewhere along the way, we stop feeling like ourselves.

In this episode of At the Counter with the Baking Pastor, Laura reflects on the quiet disconnection that can come after seasons of stress, loss, or transition—and offers a gentle invitation to reconnect with who you are becoming. 

Show Notes

Episode Summary

There are seasons where life narrows—where the focus becomes simply getting through the day. And when things begin to open again, we may realize we don’t quite feel like ourselves anymore.

In this episode, we sit with that experience and explore what it means to gently find your way back. 

Soul Care Questions

• Where do you feel a little disconnected from yourself right now?
• What part of you might be asking to be noticed again?
• What small moment of noticing could help you reconnect today?

Scripture / Reflection

“Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10

Next Steps

Listen gently. Reflect slowly. Carry what stayed with you into the day ahead.

If this conversation feels like something you’d like to keep sitting with, Laura’s book At the Counter and the companion Soul Pause Journal offer space for deeper reflection at your own pace.
