Turning 31 has me reflecting and not in a highlight-reel kind of way, but in the real, lived-in, God-meets-the-mess kind of way. In this episode, I’m sharing 31 things I’ve learned in 31 years and some hard-won, some lighthearted, some deeply spiritual, and some that only make sense after walking through motherhood, grief, growth, and a whole lot of changing your mind along the way.

This isn’t a list of life hacks or a “here’s how I got it all together” moment (because…ya know….lol). It’s more like sitting on the couch together talking about what’s actually shaped me like faith, friendship, boundaries, joy, obedience, expectations, and learning to love my life even when I don’t like every part of it.

If you’re in a season of reflection, transition, or just need someone to put words to things you’ve been feeling but haven’t been able to name yet then this one’s for you.
