How do you learn to trust a father when so many childhood moments were shaped by pain and anger? In this episode, I talk about the many father figures who have shaped my life. Growing up with an angry father deeply influenced how I understood both authority and love, leaving wounds that followed me into adulthood. Thankfully, over time, God has patiently and faithfully reshaped my heart, meeting me even in my darkest moments with steady grace. I have been deeply grateful to witness healthier models of fatherhood through my grandfathers, my father-in-law and my husband, who showed me consistency, gentleness, and genuine care. Their examples challenged what I once believed fatherhood had to be and helped bring healing to places I didn’t realise were still hurting. The Bible continually reminds me that God Himself is the truest and best Father. He not only creates us, but lovingly chooses and adopts us (Ephesians 1:5).

Have you ever asked yourself why you’re here? Why you were given life and what your experiences are meant to lead you toward? What if the very things that frustrate or irritate you most are actually connected to your life’s purpose? In this episode, I explore how our struggles, injustices, and deepest wounds can reveal a calling to support or uplift others. Your purpose may be hidden in the very thing you’ve been trying not to face. I share the story of my Uncle Eddie, and how he confronted these questions in his own life, ultimately being imprisoned for standing up against racism in South Africa.

How did helping others bring a deeper sense of healing to us through our season of grief?

In this heartfelt episode, I share how serving others became a source of healing after losing our triplets.

Volunteering with organisations supporting vulnerable children and teen girls brought renewed purpose, hope, and gratitude.

Inspired by Jesus’ example of humble service, I discovered strength in loving and serving others.

How can we find joy in the middle of a devastating loss? In this episode, I focus on how gratitude can play a powerful role in grieving well, shifting our perspective, grounding us in God’s goodness, and even improving our wellbeing. Expressing thankfulness, even in hard times, strengthens our faith, brings emotional healing, and reminds us of the bigger picture of hope and spiritual blessing.
