What if being a good mom, a faithful Christian, and an intentional woman doesn't actually require doing it all?

Somewhere along the way, we started believing that the secret to a meaningful life was waking up earlier, working harder, keeping a beautiful home, and somehow managing everything without asking for help.

But what if God never asked us to carry all of that?

In today's episode of Here For It with Dusti, we're talking about the pressure to do it all, the guilt that comes with slowing down, and the freedom of recognizing that faithfulness isn't the same thing as productivity.

I'm sharing what this has looked like in my own season of motherhood: from letting go of the idea that I need to wake up at 5 AM to be a disciplined mom, to learning to appreciate our very unfinished home and the beautiful life happening inside it.

We're talking about comparison, contentment, receiving help without guilt, and finding peace in the season God has placed us in right now.

What do a difficult pregnancy, a kindergarten decision, and an unexpected move have in common?

Looking back over the last year, I can see one thread woven through all of it: God was already there.

In my first podcast episode in almost a year, I’m finally sharing the story of what’s happened while I’ve been away. From walking through fear and unexpected complications during my pregnancy with Levi, to watching God answer prayers for Livi’s school, to somehow buying a house and moving with a newborn, this year has given me story after story of God’s faithfulness.

In this episode, I’m sharing:

• The highs and lows of my pregnancy with Levi and the prayers God answered along the way
• The medical scares that taught me what Emmanuel: God with us really means
• How God led us to Livi’s new school through a series of unexpected moments
• The crazy story of how we found, bought, and moved into our new house within a month
• What this season taught me about trusting God without knowing the whole plan
• How to start recognizing God’s faithfulness in your own story even when you’re still in the middle of it

If you’re walking through uncertainty, waiting on an answer, or wondering what God is doing behind the scenes, I hope this episode reminds you:

You may not be able to see what God is doing yet, but that doesn’t mean He isn’t already there.

In this episode, Dusti shares her journey through a year filled with unexpected blessings, delays, and divine intervention.

After almost a year off social media and podcasting, she revisits her pregnancy journey, the birth of her son Levi, and how God's perfect timing is at work even in times of trial and waiting.
