    Ep. 5: Divorce & Infant Loss

    Warning: this video contains discussion of infant loss. Please take care of your heart when watching, and feel free to skip the second half or come back when you’re ready. 🩷 In this episode, I sit down with my mother-in-law to talk about some of the hardest seasons she has walked through and the choices that shaped her family because of them. She shares what it looked like to come to terms with divorce, and how she and her ex-husband made the intentional decision to put their children first in everything that followed. From co-parenting to the unique decision to live right next-door to each other, she gives an honest look at what that season required and what it gave back. We also talk about their experience with infant loss, the grief that followed, and how they leaned on the Lord in a time when answers did not come easy. She reflects on the quiet ways God showed up through community, and how others stepped in to carry them when they could not carry themselves. This conversation is about loss, resilience, and the kind of faith that does not ignore the hard, but walks through it.

    Ep. 4: Adoption & Raising Twins

    In this episode, I’m joined by my friend Elizabeth, a mom of five boys who welcomed two babies into her family while already raising teenagers. We talk about adoption, raising twins, and what that transition looked like for her family. A real and encouraging conversation about the seasons that stretch us and how God remains faithful through it all.

    Ep. 3: Working Full-Time & Sleep Deprivation

    In this episode, we *tried* to sit down for a calm, uninterrupted chat, but my son had other plans. He woke up right after I put him in his crib and ended up joining us with a few well-timed interruptions throughout the video. But honestly, it felt fitting for the conversation we were having. My aunt and I talk about the kind of exhaustion that only motherhood can bring, being deeply, relentlessly sleep deprived. She shares what it was like working while running on empty and what it looked like to start over with a newborn while also raising two teenagers. More than that, we talk about how God met her in that season. The ways He sustained her when she had nothing left to give, what He taught her through the exhaustion, and how He carried her through a time that felt overwhelming and stretching in every way. If you are in a season of burnout, broken sleep, or just trying to make it through the day, this conversation is for you. *Just a quick note: the views and opinions shared in this video are personal and based on individual experiences.

    Ep. 2: Ministry and Motherhood

    What does it look like to say yes to mission work when you have little ones depending on you? In this episode, my friend opens up about her experience traveling with young children, the fears she faced, and the faith that carried her through. This conversation is for any mom who feels both called and unsure, offering reassurance, perspective, and the reminder that you don’t have to have it all figured out to follow where God leads.
