    Episode 22:  You Gotta Have Faith  

    Moms on Pause - Midlife, Menopause, & the Mundane

    A candid chat about our own faith journey and watching our kids navigate with the confidence of someone who once thought ramen counted as a vegetable. In this episode of Pause Pleas3, we open our hearts to the quiet questions that come with watching our older children step into the world on their own terms. Where will their paths lead? How will their faith evolve? What does it mean to trust both the foundation we’ve helped lay and the path they must take for themselves?

    Join us for a conversation filled with honesty, humility, and quiet encouragement.
