Description:
Mom of five and author Stephanie Byrd shares how God carried her from foster care and rejection to healing, marriage, and motherhood. She opens up about being born drug-exposed, discovering her adoption, and the moment God marked her with “destiny”—then walks us through trusting God beyond faith, breaking generational curses, and letting joy lead. We dig into marriage when both partners are healing, learning to hear the Holy Spirit in everyday choices, and turning pain into purpose. If you’ve battled trauma, identity, or feeling “unwanted,” this conversation will meet you with hope and strategy.
