Ever feel like everyone else is living your dream life while you're just... trying to hold it together? Same.

In this episode of Holy Heartbreak, Ryan Dawn Holland sits down with Meghan Ryan Asbury (@meghanryanasbury), author of You Are Not Behind, to talk about what it means to live in the tension of unmet expectations, delayed dreams, and that “grass is greener” pressure that constantly whispers: “You’re falling behind.”

Together they dive into:

• Feeling left out of life’s timeline
• What true contentment actually looks like
• How to hold gratitude without faking positivity
• Grieving what never happened (and maybe never will)
• Processing the pain of “dangling carrot” moments with God
• And why celebrating others doesn’t mean you’re losing

If you’re tired of “waiting well,” if comparison has worn you down, or if you're wondering where God is in the middle of your “not yet”—this conversation is a deep breath and a needed reminder: you are not behind.

In this season-opening episode of Holy Heartbreak, Ryan Dawn Holland shares her personal story of spiritual exhaustion, heartbreak, and the moment she realized she couldn’t carry her faith on her own anymore.

Drawing from the story of Abraham, Ryan explores how God’s covenant love isn’t dependent on our performance—it’s for the burned out, the doubting, and the deeply weary. This episode speaks to anyone navigating spiritual burnout, unanswered prayers, and the fear that faith might be slipping away.

You’ll also get a preview of what’s coming in Season 2: honest conversations about disappointment, waiting, healing, identity, grief, and what it means to seek God again and again.

If you’re exhausted from doing good, questioning your worth, or wondering if God is still with you—this conversation is your reminder: you are still held, and God’s faithfulness doesn’t give out when you do.
