EP 37 When Life Won’t Let Up: The Compound Effect of Hard Seasons

from The School of Hard Knocks · host Darcie Burtch

In this episode, I hit record in my car after picking up dog food — because sometimes life doesn’t wait for perfect conditions.These last eight weeks have been one thing after another: losing my dad, losing Eric’s brother, our truck breaking down, being thrown straight into menopause, and trying to hold everything together while life keeps piling on.I talk about the compound effect of trauma — not just the big moments, but the way the little and medium ones stack until you feel like you’re standing in the middle of a storm asking, “Lord, how much more?”I cried. I got honest. I shared what it feels like when hard seasons don’t give you a break…And I shared why I still believe a day is coming where I’ll look back and say, “God carried me through that, too.”If you’re walking through your own stacked season, this one is for you. You’re not alone, and you’re not failing — you’re human. And God is still good.For questions or to be on the show you can reach me at [email protected]
