We talk about the fear of losing identity, the shift from independence to interdependence in marriage, and why caring for a home and family is not passive work, but powerful, purpose-filled responsibility. I share how becoming a wife and mother changed my view of success, ambition, and fulfillment, and why the quiet work that no one applauds is often the work God honors most.
