Made for Impact

In this episode, Petia invites you into a deeply honest and vulnerable conversation about purpose, calling, and the way God gently unfolds what we’re meant to do. If you’ve been wrestling with the question “What’s my purpose?” — this one is for you. It’s not about hustle, performance or having all the answers. It’s about resting in what God is already doing, recognising what He’s placed in your path, and trusting that He has written the story long before you arrived. Petia shares her own journey—shifting from business coaching to leaning into motherhood, the “aha” moments she’s been given, and how what once felt too simple is exactly the gift to step into.

 

What You’ll Learn

• Why we often over‑complicate our calling when the Bible shows it’s simple (James 4:8, Matthew 7:7).
• What it looks like to let go of control and allow God to guide the next step rather than you trying to piece everything together.
• How to recognise when something lights you up and flows easily—this is a clue to your gift and calling.
• Encouragement to ask: “What am I pretending I’m not seeing?” and “What’s so obvious I’m overlooking it?”
• A fresh perspective: your purpose may be big or small right now—but it will feel life‑giving and God‑led.
• Practical next steps: Listen for the gentle nudges. Trust the timing. Walk with God one step at a time.

 

Key Verses

“Draw near to God and he will draw near to you.” — James 4:8

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.” — Matthew 7:7

 

 

Why This Matters

In a culture of doing, performance and comparison, this conversation offers a breath of fresh faith: God doesn’t need our striving. He needs our surrender. He already knows the before, the now and the later. When we partner with Him instead of trying to manufacture everything ourselves, our path becomes clearer—even if the full picture hasn’t yet been revealed.

 

 

Personal Story

Petia was reflecting one morning after her Bible reading and realised: “My coaching background has given me business strategy—but it never felt right for my soul. Now that I’m pregnant and walking through motherhood again, I see what lights me up: helping other women who are walking into motherhood, non‑toxic living, holistic nutrition, podcasting…” She shares how she discovered a “common thread” among her clients: pregnant women, women planning for pregnancy, women wanting to live holistically as mamas. And how that thread felt like God saying: ‘Here. This is it.’ She also recounts how at a local church conference she connected with a company helping women with unplanned pregnancies—a clear sign that her path, calling and gifting are aligning.

 

 

Action Steps for You

• Sit quietly today and ask: “What’s so obvious in my path I’m ignoring?”
• Write down what lights you up—what you do easily, what you talk about without being asked.
• Ask a trusted friend: “What gift do you see in me that I don’t recognise yet?”
• Choose one small step: maybe a short Instagram reel, a reflection prompt, a prayer asking God for clarity.
• Remember: if all the blessings came right now, could you handle them? Maybe God is saying: “Not yet—let me prepare you.”

In this heartfelt episode of *Made for Impact*, Petia Kolibova explores one of the most difficult yet powerful truths of faith — that sometimes God’s greatest blessings come through His ‘no.’ When prayers go unanswered and doors close, it can feel like rejection.

💡 Key Takeaways

• God’s ‘no’ is not rejection — it’s redirection and protection.
• Closed doors often lead to greater blessings and divine purpose.
• Faith grows when we trust God even without full understanding.
• Unanswered prayers can be part of God’s preparation process.
• Peace comes when we surrender outcomes to God’s perfect plan.

In this new episode, I invite you to journey with me through one of the most freeing lessons I’ve learned—releasing control and trusting God completely.

 

 

As women of purpose, we often try to hold everything together—our goals, our families, our dreams—believing that if we just do more, push harder, or plan better, we’ll finally find peace. But the truth is, real peace comes when we let go and let God lead.

 

 

In this episode, I share how surrendering my need for perfection and control opened the door to deeper faith, self-love, and divine guidance. When I shifted from chasing achievements to aligning with God’s will, I began to experience a calm confidence that no worldly success could give.

 

 

Through personal stories and biblical reflections, I encourage you to stop striving and start surrendering—to allow God to direct your path, even when the outcome isn’t clear. This isn’t about giving up—it’s about gaining alignment, impact, and peace.

 

 

💡 Key Takeaways

• True peace begins where control ends.
• Faith, not perfection, is the foundation of a fulfilling life.
• Releasing control allows God’s guidance to take root.
• The Bible teaches us to prioritize eternal impact over temporary success.
• Self-love grows when we trust in divine timing and grace.

 

🙏 Action Steps

• Reflect on one area of your life where you’re holding too tightly—pray for strength to release it.
• Replace one daily goal focused on “doing” with a moment of prayer or Scripture reading.
• Journal about what control means to you and how faith can reshape that relationship.
• Focus on one person you can bless today through love or encouragement.
• End your day by thanking God for leading, even when you can’t see the full picture.

In this heartfelt episode of Made for Impact, I open up about one of the most transformative chapters of my journey—healing my relationship with my mother and deepening my faith through the teachings of the Bible.

 

 

For years, I searched for peace and wholeness through new-age healing practices, crystals, and energy work. While those tools brought moments of relief, I found true, lasting transformation when I turned to God’s Word. Through Scripture, I began to see myself—and my loved ones—with new eyes, filled with compassion, patience, and grace.

 

 

As a daughter, a mother, and a believer still growing in faith, I share how the Bible has become my daily anchor. Whether it’s in moments of frustration with my little girl or in conversations that once felt heavy with my mom, God’s Word has softened my heart and reminded me what love truly looks like.

 

 

If you’ve ever wrestled with family wounds, questioned your faith, or sought peace through healing practices that left you still longing for more—this episode will meet you where you are. It’s an invitation to rediscover relationship healing, personal growth, and holistic parenting through the gentle yet powerful guidance of God’s truth.

 

 

💡 Key Takeaways

• True healing begins when we invite God into our relationships.

• Daily Bible teachings can transform how we love, parent, and forgive.

• Resistance often precedes revelation—trust the process.

• Holistic growth includes emotional, spiritual, and relational healing.

• Faith isn’t about perfection; it’s about allowing grace to lead.

🙏 Action Steps

• Dedicate 10 minutes each day this week to reading Scripture about love and forgiveness.

• Write a letter (you don’t have to send it) to someone you’re ready to forgive.

• Reflect on where God is inviting you to replace control with compassion.

• Practice one act of kindness toward a family member who challenges you.

• Pray for patience and peace in your parenting or family relationships.

In this powerful episode, I open my heart about what it truly means to step out of your comfort zone and trust God’s calling on your life.

 

It all started with a moment at the gym—one that reminded me how easily we can get attached to comfort, even when our soul is craving growth. Just like a baby eagle learning to fly, we are sometimes pushed by God into discomfort so we can discover the strength and purpose He’s placed within us.

 

I share how following Jesus doesn’t necessarily make life easier—but it makes it richer, fuller, and more meaningful. When you say “yes” to God’s plan, you might face challenges, resistance, or even fear—but through it all, He’s shaping you for something greater.

 

This episode is for the woman who’s been praying for clarity, who’s afraid to take the next step, or who’s tired of waiting for a detailed roadmap. I want to remind you: you don’t need to see the full plan to trust the path. Faith grows in the spaces where certainty ends.

 

 

💡 Key Takeaways

• Growth begins where comfort ends.

• Following Jesus brings meaning, not ease—and that’s a beautiful thing.

• Discomfort is divine preparation for purpose.

• Like the Israelites leaving Egypt, God calls us to trust even without knowing what’s next.

• Faith isn’t built through clarity—it’s built through surrender.

 

 

🙏 Action Steps

• Identify one area of your life where you’ve been holding on to comfort. Ask God to help you release it.

• Write down a recent moment when discomfort led to unexpected growth.

• Reflect on a Bible story where faith triumphed over fear—what can you learn from it?

• Take one brave step this week toward the thing God’s been calling you to do.

• Pray daily for the courage to trust without seeing the full plan.

In this new episode, I share a story that reminded me of the enormous impact small acts of kindness can have on our lives—and the lives of others.

 

 

Inspired by the book Holy Moments, I open up about a simple trip to Whole Foods with my family that turned into something much greater: an opportunity to practice generosity and witness the ripple effects of kindness. What began as a small decision to help created a holy moment—one filled with gratitude, reflection, and deeper faith.

 

 

I’ll be honest—at first, I wrestled with doubt. Was I really helping the right person? Was it enough? But God showed me that the true power of generosity isn’t in analyzing outcomes—it’s in trusting that every act of love has meaning.

 

 

This episode is your reminder that every interaction, no matter how ordinary, carries the potential to become a holy moment. When we choose to give, to trust, and to love, we align with God’s heart and create ripples that go far beyond what we can see.

💡 Key Takeaways

• Small acts of kindness can create powerful ripple effects.

• Generosity is not about perfection, but about presence and intention.

• Doubt is natural, but faith affirms the impact of your actions.

• Every moment has the potential to become a “holy moment.”

• Choosing to give and love connects us more deeply with God and others.

🙏 Action Steps

• Look for one opportunity this week to create a “holy moment” through kindness.

• Reflect in your journal on how generosity has shaped your own life.

• Next time you doubt the impact of your actions, pause and pray for reassurance.

• Share your story of kindness with a loved one to inspire their faith journey.

• Ask God daily to open your eyes to opportunities for small, sacred acts of love.

In this powerful episode of *Made for Impact*, Petia Kolibova Burns shares signs that reveal when God is preparing a woman for breakthrough. From holy shaking and separation to divine acceleration and open doors, you’ll learn how to recognize the ways God works in the background to shape you for more.

In this episode of Made for Impact, I open up about one of the most overlooked yet powerful parts of our relationship with God: listening.

 

So often, we pour our hearts out in prayer—asking, thanking, pleading—but forget that communication with God is a two-way street. When we don’t pause to create space for His voice, we risk missing the very answers and guidance we’ve been longing for.

 

Through simple stories from my own life, I share how moments of silence, stillness, and openness can transform the way we hear from God. This is not about striving or doing more, but about trusting, waiting, and allowing divine wisdom to unfold in its perfect timing.

 

If you’ve ever felt like your prayers were bouncing back unanswered or you’ve struggled with doubt in waiting seasons, this episode will remind you that God is always speaking—you just need to make space to hear Him.

 

 

💡 Key Takeaways

• True communication with God requires both speaking and listening.

• Silence and stillness create space for divine answers.

• Patience and trust are essential when waiting on God’s timing.

• Everyday moments can become powerful spaces of spiritual connection.

• Listening deepens faith, awareness, and intimacy with God.

🙏 Action Steps

• Schedule 5 minutes of silence each day this week to simply listen for God’s voice.

• Journal any impressions, scriptures, or feelings that arise in that quiet space.

• Practice patience by releasing one prayer request into God’s hands without trying to control the outcome.

• Share your experience of listening with someone who could use encouragement in their faith walk.

• Pray for a more open heart to recognize God’s whispers in your daily life.
