    Thanks for joining us for this episode of That’s Why We’re Friends. The podcast is created for women in the oldish season of life, where we get real & vulnerable about all things faith, family, our bodies, health & everything in between.

    If you’re looking for a space to laugh & cry about the real stuff this is it!


    This week we sit down with Amy Hardin, owner of Buttermilk Sky Pie Shop in Flower Mound, Texas 🥧. After a quick chat about the sweetness of pie, Amy shares her powerful story of walking through hard seasons and discovering how God was pursuing her all along. From believing lies of rejection to finding redemption through God’s relentless love, her story is one of hope and healing. We talk about the beauty of taking the first step in spiritual disciplines, how God cares about the desires of our hearts (even the “impossible lists”!), and how to lovingly encourage those in our lives who aren’t yet walking in His best.

    Remember - Amy is offering all listeners of the That’s Why We’re Friends podcast a $5 off code for any purchase of a full size pie, now through November 15, 2025. Use code - PODCAST - Order your pie here: https://buttermilkskypie.com/locations/flower-mound/

    Thanks for joining us for this episode of That’s Why We’re Friends. The podcast is created for women in the oldish season of life, where we get real & vulnerable about all things faith, family, our bodies, health & everything in between.

    If you’re looking for a space to laugh & cry about the real stuff, this is it!

    In this episode, we’re joined by Tammy Lanham for a beautiful conversation on joy, celebration, and finding contentment in every season (plus a good laugh about her pink carpet that overstayed its welcome 💕😂). We talk about how comparison steals our joy, the difference between happiness and true joy, and how spiritual practices can draw us back to hope when life feels hard. Tammy reminds us that joy is trusting God in the middle of our circumstances, finding satisfaction in Him alone, and choosing gratitude — even in the small things — because that’s what leads to lasting contentment.

    The One With Gratitude in Our Relationships
    Nov 11 2025
    Thanks for joining us for this episode of That’s Why We’re Friends. The podcast is created for women in the oldish season of life, where we get real & vulnerable about all things faith, family, our bodies, health & everything in between.

    If you’re looking for a space to laugh & cry about the real stuff, this is it!

    In this week’s episode, we’re talking all things gratitude in relationships — but not before debating whether we’re Black Friday shoppers, if raw cookie dough counts as a snack (again 🍪😂), and the right way to load a dishwasher! We dive into how gratitude helps us see the people in our lives as God made them, calling out the good and lifting our relationships to a higher standard. Studies even show that gratitude strengthens connection and satisfaction in every kind of relationship. We also talk about the five love languages, learning to love others the way they receive love, and how a posture of gratitude can heal our minds, souls, and connections. 💛

    The One With All the Gratitude

    Thanks for joining us for this episode of That’s Why We’re Friends. The podcast is created for women in the oldish season of life, where we get real & vulnerable about all things faith, family, our bodies, health & everything in between.

    If you’re looking for a space to laugh & cry about the real stuff this is it!

    In this episode, we start with some lighthearted fun—talking crocs as a fashion statement (are they really making a comeback? 👀) and yes… did Sara actually say she ate pig brains?! 🐷😂 Then we shift into a deeper conversation about gratitude, joy, and how mental health research beautifully aligns with God’s Word. We talk about how gratitude is a gift from our good Father that lifts our spirits, how sometimes it’s a choice before it’s a feeling, and how choosing thankfulness can shift our perspective—like a rope that helps pull us out of the pit. No matter the circumstance, the posture of gratitude changes everything. 💛

  • The One Where God Gives You Identity in Healing

    The One Where God Gives You Identity in Healing

    Thanks for joining us for this episode of That’s Why We’re Friends. The podcast is created for women in the oldish season of life, where we get real & vulnerable about all things faith, family, our bodies, health & everything in between.

    If you’re looking for a space to laugh & cry about the real stuff this is it!


    In this final episode of our month-long series on faith in the desert seasons of life, we talk about what it means to walk through hard places without letting them define us. Trauma is not our identity—only God has the authority to name what has happened, and only He gets to define who we are. When we choose to pursue Him in the hard, we step into healing and freedom, living as daughters with a good Father who calls us His own.

Sara shares her story of walking through deep hardship in 2024, and together we talk about the beauty of lament, the power of gratitude, and how godly community helps keep our heads above water and our eyes fixed on God.

    If you’re looking for a space to laugh & cry about the real stuff this is it!


    In part one of our two-part series on staying focused on Jesus in desert seasons, we start with some lighthearted fun (pumpkin spice lattes and Trader Joe’s anyone? ☕🍂) before diving into a deeper conversation about choosing God in the hard places. From real and vulnerable experiences, we share how faith is often about believing what we know about God rather than what our feelings dictate in the moment, the perspective shift that comes when we focus on His goodness, the gift of community, and the rich comfort found in Psalm 23.
