At Broken To Build, we believe the authenticity of our stories is not only what connects us, but oftentimes, those broken pieces can be a beautiful part of our journey that equip us to do what God has destined for us in the future. People don’t need more “perky Christianity”; we need something real and authentic. Together we embrace the tension of our brokenness while living in the hope of a greater plan. Our goal is to let Christianity influence culture beyond the church walls, creating a safe place to be real.

    Ep. 28 - Psalm 23 In Real Life

    In this heartfelt episode of Broken To Build, host Lauryn DeLoach sits down with Helen Morrison, the 5th-generation female founder of Frownies—a family brand born in 1889 that’s become a beloved, non-invasive alternative to Botox. Helen opens up about marriage in the aviation world (208 days a year apart), new-mom loneliness, and the dark season that nearly broke everything…until a COVID “pause” brought her husband home and changed the trajectory of their family. What followed: a bold move to Texas, obedience over comfort, and a social-led explosion that took Frownies viral and 10×’d the business—while restoring their marriage from “our worst thing” to “our best thing.” If you’re navigating transition, identity, or calling, this conversation is a masterclass in faith, sacrifice, and building community-first brands that actually help people.
