Summary

In this deeply personal and long-awaited Mother’s Day episode of In Totality, I sit down with one of the most important people in my life - my mom.

This conversation is raw, honest, and full of the kind of love only a mother and daughter can share. We open up about our journey together - how my mom came to know Jesus, how our relationship has evolved over the years, and the very real struggles we’ve faced as a family. I share openly about my battles with mental health, and my mom shares how she leaned on the Lord’s strength and wisdom to walk with me through some of the darkest moments of my life.

This is a story of faith, perseverance, and the kind of love that covers even the hardest seasons. Whether you’re a mother, daughter, or someone in the middle of your own healing journey, I pray this conversation brings you hope and reminds you that God truly meets us in every valley.

Content Warning: This episode contains sensitive discussion around suicide and self-harm. Listener discretion is advised.
