Why My Pain Wasn’t Punishment — It Was God Leading Me Home

In this episode of Joyfully Prepared, Wendi continues the story she began in part one, opening up about how God helped her reframe her identity and healing journey after a season of deep heartbreak.

You’ll hear how she:

Discovered that her purpose was not just motherhood — but her identity as a daughter of God

Began to reframe her experiences, seeing them as things that happened for her, not to her

Learned to shift from guilt and comparison to gratitude and strength

Started weaving movement, meditation, and creation into her daily healing

Found the freedom to love herself and others better, without carrying the crushing weight of over-responsibility
