This week, Mary Grace joins me for a heartfelt conversation about motherhood, calling, and trusting God with our children’s futures.

We recap the last few episodes and dive into the dreams we have for our kids and the tension between planning for them and surrendering them to the Lord.

Mary Grace shares the story of her mission trip and the defining moment when God called her into ministry. Her journey is a beautiful reminder that God often shapes purpose in unexpected places.

I also share a line from my journal that has deeply shaped how I see motherhood: “Motherhood is to love who they were created to be, not what you want them to be.” As Proverbs 16:9 says, “In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.”

This episode is about releasing control, embracing calling, and trusting that God’s plans for our children are far greater than anything we could design ourselves.

In this episode, it’s just the girls. Carmen and Mary Grace share what it’s really been like navigating very different communication styles while growing up in the same home. They open up about how they process, express emotions, and respond under pressure, and how those differences showed up in real life, especially while being coached by similar leaders in high school. From misunderstandings to growth moments, they reflect on how learning to understand one another changed not just how they communicated, but how they related as sisters. This conversation is honest, reflective, and full of sister perspective showing how awareness, grace, and a willingness to listen can strengthen any relationship. If you’re a parent, sibling, or coach trying to navigate differences without losing connection, this episode is for you.

In this episode, we continue the conversation around communication, but this time, we get more personal. We share a few more stories, laugh a lot, and give you a deeper look into how the girls communicate, process, and show up in real life. These early episodes are really about laying the foundation: what our home looked like, how we talked through hard moments, and how understanding communication styles shaped how we related to one another as a family. It’s honest, lighthearted, and full of real-life moments that helped us grow in empathy and connection. If you’re a parent trying to better understand your kids (or yourself), this episode is an invitation to listen, laugh, and learn alongside us.
