The world shouts “do it all yourself,” but God designed us to do life together. In this honest conversation, Hannah and Jess unpack the myth of independence, share the messy + beautiful moments where community held them up, and walk through practical ways to build real friendships, right where you are. Expect Scripture, vulnerability, and gentle reflection breaks you can sit with this week.

In this episode:

• Why “strong + solo” left us exhausted, and what Scripture says instead (Ecclesiastes 4:9–10)

• Proximity + vulnerability: takeaways from Find Your People (Jennie Allen) that actually work

• When community gets messy: boundaries, safe circles, and staying with love (Romans 12:5)

• How small acts (a texted prayer, coffee on a messy table) create big connection (Hebrews 10:24–25; Acts 2:42–47)

Reflection prompts:

• Where are you carrying something alone that God is inviting you to share?

• Who knows the real you, and what’s one next step toward safe vulnerability?

• What’s one brave move toward community this week (invite, text, prayer, yes to help)?

Scripture mentioned: Ecclesiastes 4:9–10; Hebrews 10:24–25; Acts 2:42–47; Romans 12:5

Gentle note: This episode briefly references miscarriage with care and prayer.

Try this this week: Send one prayer voice memo or text a short prayer to a friend. Invite someone over “excuse the mess” and all. Say yes when help is offered.

If this encouraged you, share it with a friend and leave a quick rating so more women can find gospel-centered community. 💛

Friend, what if motherhood is more than survival What if it’s a divine assignment

In this episode, Jess and Hannah dive deep into the truth that motherhood isn’t just diapers, dishes, and meltdowns—it’s ministry. God has entrusted us with souls to shape and futures to build, and He equips us even when we don’t feel ready.

We’ll talk about:
🌿 Why motherhood is a calling, not just a phase to “get through”
🔥 How hard seasons don’t mean you’re failing, they might mean God is refining you
🏡 Building a spiritual legacy in your home so your children don’t have to fight the same battles you’ve fought

With Scripture, stories, and honest encouragement, this conversation is here to remind you that you are seen, you are equipped, and the small hidden moments of motherhood matter deeply in God’s Kingdom.

✨ Reflection questions are included throughout, so grab your coffee, take a deep breath, and let’s lean into the holy work of motherhood together.

Have you ever felt like God’s calling is for everyone else but not you? Maybe your past, your doubts, or your fears have left you feeling disqualified. In this episode, Hannah and Jess dive into what it looks like to walk boldly in faith, be obedient to God’s plan, and trust that He really does use anyone. You’ll be encouraged to step into the calling God has placed on your life with confidence, because yes girl, He’s calling YOU.

Friend, this one goes deep. In Episode 2, we’re talking about the lies we’ve believed, the truth God speaks over us, and what it looks like to embrace the season we’re in, even when it feels messy, slow, or hidden. We’ll share personal stories of shame, surrender, and how God has met us in the middle of motherhood, identity struggles, and hard seasons. You’ll hear Scripture, encouragement, and listener reflections to help you replace fear with truth, see yourself through His eyes, and remember, you’re not too late, too broken, or too far gone. You are becoming everything He’s called you to be.
