Heather MacFadyen, host of the widely loved Don’t Mom Alone podcast and the author of two books (Don’t Mom Alone and Right Where You Belong) joins us for an encouraging conversation on motherhood, grief, humility, and grace.
She shares her hope story of when God’s promises became precious to her when both her parents were battling cancer, her father passed away, and she was caring for her mother while raising four young sons. We also talk about the pressures moms face today – to both do it all yet find rest in the Lord. Heather offers a hopeful and grounded alternative, walking us through how to identify and fully occupy our God-given space.
If you’ve ever felt unsure about your purpose or discouraged in your current season of life, this conversation offers practical wisdom and heartfelt encouragement.
