Hey friends—Michelle here.

This episode was born from a simple quote: “Never waste a good crisis.” At first, it sounds counterintuitive—maybe even insensitive. But what if it’s actually one of the most empowering invitations we’re ever given?

I’m joined again by my brother Travis, and together we unpack what happens when life flips upside down—when your missionary leaves, comes home early, struggles in the field, or when life back home brings its own heartbreaks. We talk about how disorienting those moments can be, and how they’re also doorways to growth, deeper connection, and a whole new level of understanding.

We share personal stories about our mom’s cancer diagnosis, kids leaving the Church, the emotional earthquake of dropping off a missionary—and how all of it became sacred ground for change.

If you're in the middle of something hard right now, you're not alone. Your crisis isn’t evidence something has gone wrong—it might just be the thing that opens your heart to something more.

Let’s learn how to mine the gold from the rubble, feel deeply without drowning, and become the bomb-proof horses we needed when our worlds cracked open.

In this episode:

• Why crisis moments feel so huge—and what makes them powerful
• How to emotionally support others without getting pulled under
• Navigating faith transitions, mission trauma, and emotional overwhelm
• The power of reframing your story so it heals instead of haunts

Take a breath, and let’s talk about what’s possible inside the hard.
