Episode Overview:
In this eye-opening episode of The Oopsy Daisy Podcast, Amanda Hirdler breaks down the struggle of finding your identity, purpose, and calling—and how we often get it completely backward.

She shares her personal story of stepping away from a 12-year teaching career, navigating an unexpected corporate job, and how her desire for leadership led to an identity crisis when things didn’t go as planned. Through this journey, God revealed a powerful truth: many of us are building our identity on the wrong foundation.

If you’ve ever wrestled with career changes, self-worth, feeling stuck, or wondering what you’re “meant” to do, this episode will give you clarity, peace, and a whole new way to see yourself.

Key Takeaways from This Episode:

✅ Your Identity Is NOT Your Job – The world teaches us to define ourselves by our work, but God says your identity is found in Him.
✅ The Right Order for Purpose & Calling – Amanda shares a powerful flipped-triangle model that helps you stop feeling lost and start feeling secure.
✅ Your Assignment Will Change, But Your Identity Won’t – Jobs come and go, but who you are in Christ is unshakable.
✅ God Already Has a Plan for You – You don’t have to stress about “finding” your purpose—it’s already been assigned by God.
✅ Three Simple Steps to Walk in Your Calling – Micah 6:8 lays it out:
🔹 Do what is right
🔹 Love mercy
🔹 Walk humbly with God
