In this vulnerable and hope-filled episode, we’re joined by writer, speaker, and mentor Michelle Konson, who shares how the pain and mess of our past can show up in our present—especially in parenting. Michelle opens up about her own journey of unraveling, the toll it took on her relationships, and the invitation God extends to all of us: to enter our stories, do the work of healing, and experience redemption—not just for ourselves, but for our children too.

If you’ve ever felt like you’ve messed up too much or missed your chance to be the parent you hoped to be, this conversation is a gentle, powerful reminder that it’s not too late.

Key Takeaways:

• How naming your pain can lead to true healing
• Why it’s never too late for redemption in your story
• Insight into how perfectionism can be a survival response
• The importance of doing story work in safe, supportive community
• Encouragement to honor your past so you can walk in freedom
