When hope feels distant, lean into this truth: you were created for these times. There is power and purpose in the actions you take today — all you need is a little faith. 💫
This week on Life Happens with Barb & Michelle, we’re talking about navigating unprecedented times by grounding ourselves in hope and leaning into faith. Join us for an encouraging conversation about taking purposeful action today while holding a vision for a better tomorrow.
💬 Barb vulnerably shares the hopelessness she felt during aging and divorce — and how she moved through those fears by trusting faith.
💬 Michelle explores the difference between hope and faith, and how she’s learned to navigate dark seasons with a realistic belief that things can get better.
✨ Episode Highlights
- Faith in action: Rising above despair and taking meaningful steps toward a better tomorrow.
- You were made for these times: Trusting your worth and stepping into your purpose right where you are.
