Becoming Who You Were Created to Be: Faith, God + Purpose with Karin Hadadan
In this episode, I sit down with author, storyteller, creator of @icietnu, Karin Hadadan, for a deeply reflective conversation about faith, identity, purpose, and what it really means to become who you were created to be.
Karin shares her journey through seasons of uncertainty, illness, and spiritual awakening, moments that ultimately brought her into a deeper relationship with God and a clearer understanding of her purpose.
We explore how life’s disruptions can become invitations to realign with our truth, why faith often grows in the quiet and uncertain seasons, and how listening to your intuition can be a form of divine guidance.
This conversation is a reminder that becoming isn’t about striving to be someone new, it’s about remembering the person you were always meant to be.
Tune in!
