In this deeply honest and hope-filled episode, Alaina shares her story titled “Unfulfilled,” where she opens up about her lifelong longing to become a mother—a dream that, so far, God has not brought to life. Through her vulnerability, she invites us into the quiet ache of unanswered prayers, the wrestle with identity, and the deep peace she’s found in Christ. Alaina’s journey is a powerful reminder that even in seasons of waiting or disappointment, we are still fully seen, fully loved, and fully known by God.
