Welcome, everyone, to the 55th episode of Professor P's Podcast. I am back for the Fall Semester, and I couldn’t be more excited to be with you all. I am kicking us off in true Professor Palumbo fashion, and I am coming with a dose of Elixir, that energetic power. Our topic today is The JOURNEY #mastery.

Everyone wants the destination—the breakthrough, the answer, the promise fulfilled. But it’s the journey that shapes us, heals us, and grows us. The journey is where God teaches us who we really are, and who He really is.

Here’s the thing, though: sometimes on the journey, we stop moving. We get stuck. We take a campground—something that was meant to be temporary—and try to make it a permanent home. Maybe it’s a place of pain. Maybe it’s a comfort zone. Maybe it’s just familiarity. But the journey isn’t about staying—it’s about growing.

You can’t let a season that was meant to shape you turn into a prison that defines you. Don’t camp where God called you to pass through. Trust the process of the journey. Even when it’s slow, even when it’s uncomfortable, even when it feels like everyone else is “further ahead.”

Enjoy the journey. Let yourself notice the small victories, the unexpected blessings, the ways God provides strength for each step. You don’t have to rush. You don’t have to compare. You don’t have to camp in yesterday’s grief or yesterday’s success.

Because God’s process is perfect. And when you trust His process, you’ll realize the journey isn’t wasted time—it’s the very thing that prepares you for the promise.

Questions to ask your listeners while speaking:

• Where have you been camping that God only meant you to pass through?
• Are you trusting the process of your journey, or are you fighting it?
• What would it look like for you to enjoy the season you’re in right now, even before the destination?

Homework / Call to Action: This week, write down three things about your current journey that you can be grateful for. Not the destination, not what you’re waiting on—but right here, right now. Then pray over them and thank God for being with you on the journey.

Welcome, everyone, to the 54th episode of Professor P's Podcast. I am bringing you a PS dose of Elixir. Today's topic is not a topic at all. It is a personal invitation.

I’m inviting you into something I’ve been carrying in my heart and spirit for years — The Way Out is Within. If you’ve heard me say it before, you know it’s more than a phrase. It’s a call to go deeper. A reminder that true healing begins from the inside out. And now, it’s being born into a digital tool designed to support women in their healing, wholeness, and spiritual wellness.

With raw vulnerability and unwavering faith, I am inviting you to be part of the beta group and reminding you that true healing doesn’t come from the outside — it begins within. Whether you are walking through grief, rebuilding after trauma, seeking clarity in your spiritual journey, or just in need of a sacred space to breathe, this is for you.

Join the first wave of women to experience the power of this free, faith-based wellness tool by signing up at www.thewayoutiswithin.com

I’ll be back in the Fall semester — with more power, more boldness, and fresh oil ready to pour out. Until then, keep going, keep healing, and keep trusting that the way out is always within.
