Summary
"Freakishly transparent" is one way people have described my guest this week. She spent so long hiding the truth about her past that when she finally started being honest, she just couldn't stop! This episode is full of SO many big ideas and truths. Her words are sure to challenge you to step out of darkness and into the light. What we chat about: What to do when motherhood doesn't feel natural How running from your past only makes it devour you instead How to mend betrayal and shame in a relationship How God wants your healing more than you do
