When Something is For You, You Will Have Great Peace
The loudest guidance isn’t always the truest. We dive into the difference between what looks right on paper and what feels right in your body, and we name peace as the most reliable compass for decisions, relationships, and purpose. Through a candid story about a promising job interview that didn’t quite sit right, we explore how reframing language, practicing faith, and listening to your inner voice can shift you from anxious guessing to grounded clarity.
We talk about the full-body markers of alignment—calmer sleep, softer breath, and an ease that returns even when challenges are real. You’ll hear why the right path will never demand self-betrayal, how to tell growth from self-abandonment, and why familiar does not equal aligned. We offer simple, direct questions you can use to test for deep peace: Do I feel settled after I say yes? Am I stretching in a way that expands me? Is my energy being built or bled? These reflections help disentangle fear from wisdom and show you where your integrity wants to lead.
If you’re standing at a crossroads, this conversation offers a steady hand and a practical lens. Instead of chasing what drains you, learn to follow the breadcrumb trail of peace toward work, love, and decisions that let your soul exhale. Share this with someone who needs the reminder, then subscribe, rate, and leave a review so more people can find us and walk their path with clarity.
Hey tribe and welcome back to the Melanin Unicorn podcast where we are celebrating everything about exploring the quiet truths that got us back to ourselves and most importantly, black women. I'm your host Kerry and today's episode is one of those messages that finds you right when you need it. And it's called When Something Is For You, You Will Have Great Peace. So let's take a deep breath in. And let's go inward together. Let's start the show. Have you ever been in a situation where everything looked right on the outside? But on the inside, it just didn't sit well with you. Maybe it was a relationship, a job opportunity, a decision, or even a dream you thought you wanted. So you tell yourself, this is what I should want. This makes sense. But there's a quiet restlessness that will not go away. That's the thing about peace. It doesn't always scream. Sometimes it just whispers. And if you're not still enough, you might miss it. I had an incident about that. And it was for a job interview. And I remember first hearing about it, and then I got the call. It was not sitting well with me. And I don't I don't know why. In the beginning, it wasn't sitting well. But as the time went on, then I realized it is because I am being moved towards entrepreneurship. Now my job funds my entrepreneurial dreams, which is great. Um, but this thing wasn't sitting well with me, and so then I began to speak ill of it and remember, life and death is in the power of the tongue. And the Lord quietly tapped me on my shoulder and told me to rephrase, reframe, because he said, You don't know whether or not I'm going to give you this job. Maybe this is in preparation to where I am actually leading you to, and that is to become a business owner. So I had to repent, and I said, Yes, Lord, you are so correct. And so I rephrased it and I reframed it, and I said, Not my will, but let your will be done. Now I don't know if I got the job or not. Um but because I reframed and rephrased and repented, I now have a peace that I did not have in the beginning. And if I'm being honest, I'm still learning, is that when something is truly meant for me, peace will follow. If something is truly meant for you, peace will follow. Not just peace in your mind, but peace in your body, peace in your spirit, peace in your sleep, peace in your decision making. It doesn't mean that the path will be easy or that you'll never face obstacles, but even in the chaos, there is a groundedness, a knowing, a settling. Because when something is for you, it will not require you to betray yourself to keep it. That feels like you are constantly forcing it to work, that's draining you more than it is filling you. Ask yourself, do I feel peace about this? Not temporary relief, not distraction, but a deep lasting peace. If your answer is no, maybe that is your cue. Maybe peace is trying to lead you in another direction. And here's the truth: what is for you will not need you to chase it until you're empty. It will align with your growth, your joy, your wholeness. Sometimes we confuse familiarity with alignment. We hold on to things because they are comfortable, because we've already invested so much time. Because letting go feels like failure, but holding on to what isn't meant for you only delays the arrival of what is, and I know trusting that something better is coming, that's hard, and peace is always the breadcrumb trail. Follow it. You don't have to beg for what already has your name on it. You don't have to exhaust yourself to prove that you are worthy. Because when it's right, you will know, and not because everything is perfect, but because your soul, your very soul, will exhale, and that is the kind of peace you cannot fake. Thank you, thank you, thank you for spending a few moments with me today. I am so grateful that you took the time to listen to this episode. And if this episode resonated with you, please share it with someone who might need this reminder too. And if you're on a journey of listening to your inner voice, trusting peace as your compass, please know you are not alone because I'm right there with you. Keep showing up for yourself because you are worth the peace that is calling your name. I want you to take care of yourself and be well. I want you to have the most incredible, brilliant, and magical day because that is what you deserve. I love you. Take care until we meet again in the next episode. Bye.
