    Hey friend—this one goes deep. Jackie and Christi talk about the myth of “having it all,” what it really costs to chase every dream, and how the sacrifices we make—whether in parenting, marriage, or career—shape our lives and our faith. From bible verses to travel baseball, from perfectionism to God’s steady grace, this is a soul-level conversation about honesty, priorities, and the holy pause we all need.We don’t have to carry it all.

    We just have to be willing to consider, let go, and trust the grace that holds us through it all.

    Pour a cup, settle in, and let’s go there—together.
