I’ll be honest — I haven’t felt as close to God as I need to be.

Between motherhood, responsibilities, and everyday chaos, prayer sometimes becomes an afterthought. And reading the Bible? That alone doesn’t make us Christians. It’s deeper than that.

In this episode, I’m opening up about spiritual distance, struggling with consistency, and what it actually means to have a relationship with God — not just religion.

If you’ve been feeling disconnected, this conversation might be exactly what you need.

Charli’s birth story isn’t the glowing, picture-perfect version I imagined. It’s the one with early pregnancy scares. The one with fear in hospital rooms. The one where trauma met motherhood.

In this episode of Faithful and Frazzled, I’m sharing the truth about the complications, the unexpected turn during delivery, and the heartbreak of leaving my baby in the NICU on her very first night.

This is about faith when you’re terrified. Strength when you feel weak. And how God showed up in the middle of monitors, machines, and unanswered prayers.

If you’ve ever walked through a birth that didn’t go “as planned,” this episode is for you. 🤍

This episode is one of the hardest things I’ve ever shared.
After losing my Nana and my uncle , grief didn’t just make me sad—it made me angry at God.

So angry that I didn’t go to my uncle’s funeral.
So hurt that I pulled away from my family for almost a year.
And for a while, I felt like I was losing myself.

This isn’t a polished testimony. It’s the truth.
If you’ve ever been mad at God, overwhelmed by grief, or carrying regret you don’t know how to release—this is for you.

Psalm 62:8 reminds us to pour out our hearts before God, even the parts we wish we could take back.

Faith isn’t always pretty. Sometimes it’s just staying.
