#162 When Life Doesn't Look Like You Expected


Listen Later

Can I be honest? Midlife has not looked the way I imagined it would. I thought these years would be about traveling with my husband, enjoying our grown kids, and spoiling grandbabies together. Instead, this season has been marked by grief, heartbreak, and rediscovering who I am after walking through an unwanted divorce. But through the pain, I’ve found something beautiful...a sacred invitation to reconnect with myself, with others, and most importantly, with God.

In this episode, I’m sharing part of my own messy middle — the nights of tears, the questions of “Who am I now?”, and how I’ve learned to rest in my true identity as God’s beloved daughter. We’ll talk about what it means to take an “identity inventory,” to remember that before we were ever wives, moms, or anything else, we were made in the image of God. And how that truth, even when everything else falls apart, never changes.

If you’re standing in a season that feels different than you expected, maybe your friendships are shifting, your kids are grown, or your marriage looks nothing like you hoped  then this conversation is for you. Together, we’ll explore how to make authentic connections again: with yourself, with the people God has placed around you, and with Him. Midlife may feel messy, but it’s also full of grace, renewal, and purpose. Let’s walk through it together and rediscover the beauty of being God’s masterpiece, right in the middle of the mess.
