In this special episode, Dusti pulls back the curtain and answers your most-asked questions about podcasting, faith, motherhood, and community.

She shares the story that inspired her to start Here For It and the episode that surprised her most, then dives into the real stuff: how she discerns God’s leading, what’s been shaping her walk with Jesus lately, and the Scripture currently anchoring her heart.

From mom hacks to “kid quotes,” and from keeping a peaceful home in busy seasons to building community through Commune Women, Dusti reflects on lessons learned, moments that have marked her, and the dreams she’s carrying for the year ahead.

You’ll also hear a few fun rapid-fire questions (including her coffee order and a lighthearted Taylor Swift prediction) that will leave you smiling.

Welcome back, friends! After two months away from the mic, I’m back with a cozy fall drink in hand and so much to catch you up on. This episode is a life update, a summer recap, and a behind-the-scenes peek at what God has been doing in my life and in Commune Women.

Here’s what you’ll hear in today’s episode:
✨ Why I felt led to take the summer off from podcasting
✨ The heart behind Commune Women, our nonprofit relaunch, and September kickoff
✨ A look inside writing and publishing my first Bible study (two years in the making!)
✨ Summer highlights—family trips, Livi’s golden birthday puppy party, and neighborhood memories
✨ My favorite new hobbies (pickleball + sourdough!) and what I’m loving this season
✨ What’s ahead on the podcast this fall, including an Ask Me Anything episode coming soon

This one feels like catching up with a friend over coffee. I missed you, and I’m so glad to be back!

📩 Ask Me Anything: I want to hear from you! Send me your questions for next week’s AMA episode. Nothing is off the table: faith, motherhood, podcasting, personal life.
