322 | What Turner Syndrome Taught Her About God's Faithfulness | Special Guest, Nicole Cleveland from Conservative & Chic

Have you ever grieved a life you thought you'd have? If you've ever had to let go of a plan, a dream, or a version of your future you were counting on — you're not alone. This week, I sat down with Nicole, author of The Butterfly Chronicles and host of the Conservative and Chic podcast, to talk about what it looks like to trust God when life doesn't go the way you expected. Nicole was diagnosed with Turner syndrome, a rare genetic disorder, as a child — and it shaped nearly every part of her life, from her health to her education to the family she once imagined she'd have. Nicole opens up about the hospital visits, the hard questions she asked God as a kid, and the moment at 15 years old when she first found the courage to speak publicly about her diagnosis. She also shares how losing her mother — and the promise she made to her — became the spark behind writing her book. We talk about what it means to grieve the life you thought you'd have, how Nicole found purpose as an aunt when motherhood looked different than she planned, and the practical way she learned to lean on God's timing instead of her own. Nicole's story is a beautiful reminder that no two journeys to Christ look the same, and that God can still write something good out of the hardest chapters.   Resources Mentioned:  Conservative & Chic Podcast Nicole's Website: https://www.conservativeandchic.com/ Buy Nicole's Book: The Butterfly Chronicles   ✨ Join us for the Abortion Recovery Workshop on 9/9 at 7pm CT This free live workshop is where we go even deeper into healing after abortion — come with your questions and leave with real next steps. 👉 https://brittanypoppe.com/workshop   ✨ Support the Podcast Do you love our content and want to support our ministry?
