Go With God

Intentionality. It's a word that implies a choice. And as I've gotten older, I've learned the weight of the choices I didn't think mattered all that much. My thoughts knew no bounds. My mind wandered freely. And now there are paths carved between my heart and my thoughts that leave me feeling defeated before I've even started.

How about you? Are your thoughts what you want them to be? Have you practiced the art of training them to be for you rather than against you? Let's start here.

This is not an episode about how to keep going or three easy steps to overcoming. This is an episode about perspective within it. You won't avoid it, this feeling of disappointment, so let's talk about how we can face it.

How we've treated the waiting could be while we're still waiting.

Who are you taking higher? Who takes you higher? The people in your corner make all the difference in your pursuit for more.

This is where we lay the groundwork and then hear from a few women who have found themselves unsettled personally. If you feel a desire for more, but aren't sure where to start - we hope you find your first step here.

This entire season of No One Told Me - all 35 episodes - was working toward this last 15 minutes together.

You know what I’m very good at? Suggesting. Sometimes uninvited suggestions, because when my people are in something – a crisis, heartache, problem – I think they must be telling me so I can share with them how to get out of it. My heart hurts so much for them that I want nothing more than to push and pull them out if it. But the goal isn’t always to get out. We have to get through. So how can I be better about sitting in it instead of finding ways out? What’s the balance between learning what this season has to offer and navigating to the other side? I think it’s in holding both. The pain or uncertainty of now and the hope of then. I spent some time talking to ANOTHER Instagram friend, Taylor Schumann, who wrote when thoughts and prayers aren’t enough. Her story is unique. But her perspective is unifying. Learning how to come around the hard stuff with soft hearts. Knowing how to ask for help and how to help by simply listening. Taylor Schumann Writes Taylor Schumann Instagram

While most Did Anyone Tell You episodes are meant to cover anything you might have missed in the headlines each month - this one is steeped more in the past than the present. If ever there was an episode that could be marked oversharing - it's this one. But, honestly - no regrets. Kaley and Khari are back for another round of Did Anyone Tell You.

The path to and in motherhood is different for everyone. Literally everyone. Some of you may be on it, in it or no where near it, and some may be struggling toward it. Wherever you are - whichever season you find yourself right now - this episode is simply a moment of preparation and recognition.

If you haven't yet - you will. You will feel stuck, knowing you want more, but not knowing where to start. Let's talk about it.
