192. Getting Off the Struggle Bus: Resilience in Motherhood with Amy Suzanne Upchurch

from Elevating Motherhood · host Lori Beth Auldridge

Motherhood has a way of stretching you in ways you never planned for—and sometimes, it asks more of you than you ever thought you could give.Today’s conversation is with Amy Suzanne Upchurch, founder and CEO of Pink Stork, a women-owned company supporting moms in every season of their journey. But beyond her work, Amy is a wife and a mother of six whose story includes infertility, severe morning sickness, a life-threatening health scare, military deployments, and now raising her youngest son, Maximilian, who has Down syndrome.This conversation is about resilience—but not in the polished, inspirational way you might expect. It’s about what it actually looks like to walk through hard seasons of motherhood and choose to keep showing up with strength, perspective, andpurpose.I recorded this interview many months ago, but God’s timingwith this one is great.

Amy said no. And I’m so proud of her for that.
