When the house is quiet and the calendar emptier than it's ever been, loneliness can feel like a fog that won't lift. In this episode, I’m sharing my personal experience with that soul-deep ache—especially after sending off my youngest missionary and transitioning out of full-time motherhood.

We’re not talking about the kind of loneliness that a girls’ night can fix. We're talking about the kind that sneaks in during dinner-for-one, lingers in the silence, and makes you question your worth and purpose.

Here’s what we dive into:

• The difference between being alone and feeling unseen
• How loneliness is often grief in disguise
• Why naming the emotion is the first step to softening it
• How to stay onto your brain when it feeds you victim-y thoughts
• Tiny, meaningful ways to reconnect—with yourself, with God, and with others

I also share a story about fear, surgery, and a wise yoga teacher that helped me shift how I move through hard emotions. If you’re in a season of quiet, emptiness, or transition, this episode is here to remind you: you are not broken, you're not behind, and you're not alone.

This episode is for the women in the middle—the ones answering emails from missionaries while navigating doctor appointments with aging parents. The ones holding everyone’s emotions, while their own heart quietly stretches and breaks.

Today we talk about how to stay anchored when life pulls you in opposite directions.

You'll learn:

• How to support your missionary without abandoning yourself
• How to love your parents without losing your sovereignty
• How to be onto your brain when it starts whispering victim-y lies

We’re not here to spiritually bypass hard things. We're here to show up, even when it’s messy. You’ll hear the mindset shift I use to avoid resentment (even during fast and testimony meeting 😉) and how to protect your energy without pretending everything is fine.

This is deep work—but it's the kind that leaves you feeling steady, empowered, and like you.

And as always, your missionary doesn’t need a perfect mom. They need a real one.
One who’s learning to live from her calm center.

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.
