E268: This Season Is Hard, But Your Tears Aren't Wasted


Listen Later

Ten weeks. Fifty-five thousand words to go. One big, messy dream. 

I'm officially writing a book, and I’m on a serious countdown. But let’s be real, life isn’t made up of word counts and deadlines. This season is stretching me in ways I didn’t expect, and I’m reminded (again) how hard it is for me to ask for help. So I’m uncomfortably practicing that skill.

In this episode, I’m sharing the behind-the-scenes reality of what it looks like to chase a giant goal as a mom with ADHD. From reworking my timeline and outsourcing laundry to crying on the front curb, this story gets personal. You'll hear how a season of grief, a loving husband, and a research fund created ripple effects that showed up in the most unexpected way over 20 years later. 

We often don’t get to see how it all comes together, but this week I got a glimmer of hope and encouragement.

If you’ve ever questioned whether your hard season means anything… this one’s for you. You don’t need a book deal to matter. Your efforts, your tears, your small wins, they all count.

Need some hope today? Come sit with me in the mess. Let’s find the meaning together.
