When Colby lost his job, we thought it was the beginning of one of the hardest seasons of our lives. For a full year, we lived in uncertainty — financially, emotionally, and personally. There were moments of fear, pride being stripped, hard conversations, and a lot of unknowns.

But what we didn’t expect?

It would become one of the greatest gifts our family has ever received.

In this episode, we talk about what really happens when the “provider” role gets shaken, how unemployment affected our marriage, the identity shift that came with it, and how slowing down changed our perspective on work, money, and what actually matters.

If you’ve ever faced a layoff, financial stress, or a season that felt like everything was falling apart — this one’s for you.

Sometimes what feels like a loss… is actually a rescue.
