Today’s episode is deeply personal and honestly a little vulnerable. It’s about a decision I never imagined making—and what it taught me about obedience, peace, and trusting God when the plan changes.

In this episode…
I’m sharing the story behind our decision to homeschool our daughter—why it wasn’t part of the plan, what shifted our hearts, and how this season has stretched my faith in unexpected ways. This conversation isn’t about convincing anyone to make the same choice, but about honoring discernment, flexibility, and the courage it takes to do what’s right for your child, even when it doesn’t make sense to anyone else.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why homeschooling was something I once said I’d never do
• Navigating motherhood when your child’s needs change
• Making decisions that feel peaceful in your spirit but confusing on paper
• Letting go of the version of motherhood you planned
• Trusting God without a clear long-term plan
• Holding the future open-handed instead of demanding certainty
• Creating rhythms that fit your family instead of cultural expectations
• Why peace is a better metric than productivity
• The freedom that comes from changing your mind with new conviction
• Learning that God equips what He initiates

This episode is for you if…

• You’re facing a decision you never thought you’d make
• Your life doesn’t look the way you planned—and you’re learning to trust God anyway
• You feel misunderstood or alone in a choice you know is right
• You’re craving peace more than certainty
• You’re learning how to listen for God’s voice in real, on-the-ground motherhood

Friend, you don’t owe anyone a perfectly mapped-out plan. You’re allowed to walk forward in obedience, even when you don’t know what comes next.
