Over a course of seven years, my husband and I walked through something we never expected,caring for our youngest son through a mental health crisis.

We were caregivers. Parents. Faithful.

But I was still a mother, and a woman,trying to hold it all together without falling apart.

In this solo episode, I’m not here as a co-host.

I’m here as a mother who silently carried more than most people knew.

As a woman who didn’t know how to say, “I’m not okay.”

This journey changed me deeply emotionally, mentally, spiritually.

And today, I’m finally sharing what I never thought I’d say out loud.

If you’ve ever held it together for everyone else while falling apart inside… this one is for you.

FromTheGame2Grace

Over the course seven years, we kept our deepest challenge quiet. Behind the smiles, the business, the parenting, and the ministry we were navigating something incredibly heavy: our son’s battle with mental illness.

We didn’t know who we could speak with and not judge our situation.

We didn’t know who would understand. We were just trying to survive.

In this episode, we open up about what no one saw the toll it took on us as parents, as a couple, and as people of faith. We also share the hope we found, the grace that sustained us, and what we wish more families knew when facing silent battles.
