In this conclusion to the three-part framework series, Jennifer welcomes back Lisa Michelle Jones to explore the third pillar: Calling. Moving beyond the pressure to "find your calling," this honest conversation reveals how your calling is already present in what you naturally love and do. Through vulnerable stories and practical wisdom, Jennifer and Lisa unpack how to recognize your inherent gifts, embrace your natural leadership style, and lead your family with freedom rather than formula. From childhood clues to present-day passions, discover how your calling isn't something distant to discover—it's already woven into who you are. This episode is for every mama who feels pressure to figure out her "big purpose," struggles with making her passions fit into motherhood, or wonders if her natural interests actually matter. You'll discover why your calling is already present in what you love, how childhood patterns reveal lifelong purpose, why comparison kills calling clarity, how to lead your family from your natural strengths, and what it means to trust what God has already equipped you with.
