86. The Valleys That Built Me: Finding Peace, Purpose & Growth in Life’s Hardest Seasons
Manage episode 500215315 series 3461446
Ever feel like you’re stuck in life’s potholes while everyone else seems to be speeding down smooth highways? You’re not alone. In this raw, audio-only episode, I open up about turning 40 — and the 40 hard-earned reflections that have carried me through deep valleys and unexpected victories.
These aren’t curated Instagram quotes. They’re battle-tested truths from someone still navigating her own valley season, yet standing on spiritual mountaintops at the same time. That beautiful contradiction — broken yet whole, struggling yet succeeding — is something so many of us feel but rarely say out loud.
From embracing slow seasons without shame to redefining success as peace, I share lessons that will shift how you see yourself, your relationships, your career, and your faith.
In this episode, we’ll talk about:
- Why the valley is where your roots deepen, not where your story ends
- How “slow” doesn’t mean “stuck” — and why growth speed isn’t your worth
- Why titles open doors but only character keeps you in the room
- How to set boundaries that protect your peace and energy
- The role of ownership — in your home, your ideas, and your financial stability
- How grief can both break you and grow you
- Why clarity often comes after obedience, not before
- What it means to be in the valley in the flesh but on the mountaintop in the spirit
This episode is both a mirror and a map — reflecting your own struggles while offering direction for your journey forward. Whether you’re stepping into a new chapter, pushing through a hard climb, or enjoying a season of abundance, these reflections will meet you exactly where you are.
Save this episode for when you need a reminder you’re not alone. Share it with a friend who might be ready to give up. And remember: these lessons aren’t mine alone — they belong to anyone ready to grow.
