In this heartfelt and joy-filled episode of Choosing Joy, beloved actress, author, and entrepreneur Tabitha Brown joins Deborah Joy Winans Williams for a deeply inspiring conversation about obedience, surrender, motherhood, and trusting the voice of God.

With her signature warmth and radiant spirit, Tabitha opens up about how illness shifted her faith, why she gave up on her dream temporarily, and how radical obedience led her to the life she was always meant to live. From walking away from fashion school to becoming a breakout star after 30, Tabitha shares how she stopped trying to control everything and started letting God guide her steps.

She also reflects on her early marriage, raising a family, and how motherhood didn’t block her dreams — it stretched her into someone even more prepared to succeed.

Whether you're an aspiring creative, a parent trying to juggle it all, or someone waiting for your “breakthrough,” Tabitha’s journey reminds us that joy is not the result of having it all — it’s choosing to trust when the plan doesn’t make sense yet.
