Motherhood is sacred — and it is also complicated.

In this deeply personal episode of Grit & Grace Podcast, I open my heart and invite listeners into a conversation shaped by decades of motherhood, loss, faith, and God’s sustaining grace.

For 33 years, I raised children in my home. I am the mother of seven living children and one precious baby in heaven, who passed away at three months old on Mother’s Day in 1997. I also raised children with chronic illness, navigated years as a young and often single mother with little support, and carried the weight of generational mental health struggles.

For many years, Mother’s Day was painful for me — filled with grief, resentment, and unanswered prayers. But through journaling prayers, pouring out my heart to God, and walking daily through uncertainty, I encountered the unbelievable grace of God in ways I never expected.

As Scripture reminds us:

“My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.”
— 2 Corinthians 12:7–10

In this episode, I share how God gave me enough grace to mother children with vastly different needs — and how humility before Him (James 4:6) became a lifeline.

At 23:15, my husband Josh joins the conversation as we reflect on our journey raising triplets, walking through postpartum depression, and my first mental health diagnosis of bipolar disorder — and how God remained faithful through it all.

This episode is for anyone who loves motherhood, struggles with it, grieves through it, or feels unseen within it.
