86. The Valleys That Built Me: Finding Peace, Purpose & Growth in Life’s Hardest Seasons

Send us a text

Ever feel like you’re stuck in life’s potholes while everyone else seems to be speeding down smooth highways? You’re not alone. In this raw, audio-only episode, I open up about turning 40 — and the 40 hard-earned reflections that have carried me through deep valleys and unexpected victories.

These aren’t curated Instagram quotes. They’re battle-tested truths from someone still navigating her own valley season, yet standing on spiritual mountaintops at the same time. That beautiful contradiction — broken yet whole, struggling yet succeeding — is something so many of us feel but rarely say out loud.

From embracing slow seasons without shame to redefining success as peace, I share lessons that will shift how you see yourself, your relationships, your career, and your faith.

In this episode, we’ll talk about:

• Why the valley is where your roots deepen, not where your story ends
• How “slow” doesn’t mean “stuck” — and why growth speed isn’t your worth
• Why titles open doors but only character keeps you in the room
• How to set boundaries that protect your peace and energy
• The role of ownership — in your home, your ideas, and your financial stability
• How grief can both break you and grow you
• Why clarity often comes after obedience, not before
• What it means to be in the valley in the flesh but on the mountaintop in the spirit

This episode is both a mirror and a map — reflecting your own struggles while offering direction for your journey forward. Whether you’re stepping into a new chapter, pushing through a hard climb, or enjoying a season of abundance, these reflections will meet you exactly where you are.

Save this episode for when you need a reminder you’re not alone. Share it with a friend who might be ready to give up. And remember: these lessons aren’t mine alone — they belong to anyone ready to grow.
