Have you ever found yourself in the messy middle- where nothing looks how you planned, and hope feels out of reach? In this episode of eighth & GRACE, I sit down with my mom, Nancy Cottrell, for a deeply personal conversation about finding grace in unexpected places.

From becoming a mother at 15 to eventually leading a multimillion - dollar company, Nancy's story is one of redemption, grit, and the faithfulness of God through every chaptr- especially the hardest ones. Together, we talk about generational patterns, perspective shifts, and what it means to keep showing up when the path is unclear.

In this episode, we explore:

• Overcoming shame and societial expectations as a teenage mom
• Breaking generational cycles with courage and grace
• The power of perspective when grace is rewriting our story
• How to walk through the "middle" when you can't yet see the miracle
• Trusting God when your past says otherwise

Nancy's journey is a reminder that the story doesn't end in brokeness. God redeems what we thought disqualified us and sometimes, the very thing we hide becomes the testimony to set someone else free!

This is more than a tribute episode, it's a conversation about becoming, trusting, and believing that grace holds us through it all.
