What happens when life leaves you feeling hopelessly behind? For Donna DiSalvo, losing her husband of nearly 30 years and becoming the sole provider for her family in her mid-50s forced her to confront this question head-on. The answer came through decades of personal journals filled with raw reflections and spiritual insights collected through life's highest peaks and lowest valleys.
On this powerful episode, Donna shares how a divine prompting—"other women need to hear this"—transformed her private writings into a devotional book touching lives across the country. "What If This Is Your Lydia Moment?" emerged from her study of a biblical businesswoman who didn't hesitate to respond when truth presented itself.
Donna's story resonates with anyone who has ever felt behind, stuck, or uncertain about their purpose. With refreshing candor, she discusses the struggle of comparing herself to others who seemed further along, both in business and in faith. "I needed to catch up," she admits, before revealing how God helped her recognize the unique purpose of her current season.
The conversation explores the transformative nature of journaling, finding community in uncertain times, and embracing God's often unexpected timeline. "God's timing is not yours, and God's plan is not yours," Donna reminds us, pointing to her own journey as evidence that what feels like falling behind might actually be divine positioning.
Whether you're navigating grief, searching for purpose in a new season, or simply feeling stuck, this episode offers genuine hope and practical wisdom. Connect with Donna on social media or through her church, Campground Baptist, where she promises "there's a seat sitting right next to me that's empty. Come on."
