What do you do when life doesn’t go according to plan? At just 22, Christy Pennison was unexpectedly pregnant, and what could have felt like an ending became the beginning of an entirely new life. In this episode, she shares with Stephanie how that pivotal moment launched her journey into motherhood, leadership, and ultimately entrepreneurship.

From the struggles of early parenting and financial stress to building a 7-figure therapy business and inspiring others, Christy’s story is one of resilience, grace, and redefinition. She invites us to accept the season we’re in, stop comparing, and trust that growth often comes from the most unexpected places.
