The Serrated Axe Speaks
She’s been watching from the front row this whole time.
In this episode of Making Her Choices, the conversation shifts — and for the first time, the axe gets the mic.
I once shared something I heard in a sermon: there are two kinds of people — the scalpel and the serrated axe. The scalpel is precise, careful, always thinking about what it leaves behind. The serrated axe cuts through whatever stands in its way and keeps moving.
I’ve always been the scalpel.
My daughter? She claimed the axe without hesitation.
This episode is our conversation — real, unfiltered, and deeply personal. We talk about what it looks like to watch your mother start over, the parenting choices that don’t follow the traditional handbook, and what happens when you raise a daughter who doesn’t wait for permission to move forward.
This is about generational change.
It’s about motherhood, identity, and raising strong, independent daughters.
It’s about choosing growth over tradition — even when it’s uncomfortable.
If you’ve ever had to choose between doing what’s expected and doing what’s right, this episode will stay with you.
Because sometimes breaking the pattern isn’t rebellion.
It’s evolution.
And sometimes, the very thing you tried to control… becomes the proof that you did it right.
