What does it mean to find joy in hard seasons?

In this episode of The Goodness and Grace Podcast, I’m sharing the story of my favorite Valentine’s Day — the one that happened just after brain surgery and in the middle of living with Stage IV metastatic breast cancer.

It wasn’t an easy season. But it was full of love.

Together, we reflect on Psalm 40, receiving care when life feels fragile, and why our worth is never tied to productivity, health, or outcome. If you’re walking through uncertainty, grief, diagnosis, or simply a season that feels heavier than expected, this episode offers Christian encouragement and a reminder that you are not standing on shifting ground.

The Goodness & Grace Podcast helps women cultivate an awareness of God’s goodness in every season of life. This is a space for real conversations, encouragement, and reminders that no matter how our stories unfold, God’s goodness meets us right where we are. No toxic positivity — just truth, tenderness, and all the cozy vibes. Because the more goodness we seek, the more we find. So let’s look for it- together!

If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I doing enough for my preschooler?” this episode is for you.

In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with Kaiia, founder of Our Little Peas, to talk about play-based learning, releasing pressure, and what “enough” really looks like in everyday life. We also gently touch on how children learn care and compassion — even in seasons when families are walking through something hard.

This conversation will remind you that small moments matter, and you might be doing better than you think.

Last week, we talked about what it feels like when rest starts working. (Go listen to Ep. 85!) But sometimes we try all the right things, and the fog still hasn’t lifted.

This re-aired episode is for those moments. For the weeks when rest is necessary but not sufficient, and you find yourself thinking, Why am I still in a funk?

These three gentle strategies aren’t about pushing harder or fixing yourself. They’re about meeting yourself honestly, leaning on God, and taking one small step toward steadiness when hope feels distant.

Some seasons ask us to push through. Others ask us to pay attention.

Let’s talk about the quiet signs that something is shifting — when rest begins to land, when small joys return, and when the heart starts reaching for God again. Today we explore what it looks like to care for both body and soul.

If you’re craving a calmer pace, clearer awareness, and a deeper sense of God’s nearness this season, this episode is for you.
