from Messy But Motivated · host Melinda

Send us Fan MailThis week on Messy But Motivated, my husband Mike joins me for one of our most honest conversations yet. We’re pulling back the curtain on the parts of our story social media never showed—the depression, financial struggles, short sales, uncertainty, and the seasons where life felt heavier than we knew how to carry.From the outside, things can look polished and put together, but behind closed doors we were walking through battles that tested us in ways no post could ever capture.In this episode, we talk about the reality that things aren’t always what they seem online, the pressure of silent struggles, and how we made it through the hard seasons together.Through every setback, every hard conversation, and every storm, one thing never wavered: our marriage.This is a conversation about choosing commitment when life gets messy, leaning on faith when answers don’t come easy, and discovering that sometimes the hardest seasons produce the strongest foundations.If you’ve ever felt like everyone else has it together while you’re barely holding on, this episode is for you.Don't forget to subscribe for more real, raw, and motivating faith filled conversations.💁🏼‍♀️ Want updates on retreats, the podcast, Bible studies and everything in between!?Subscribe to our mailing list! 👇🏼https://mrsmotivated.myflodesk.com/subscribeEmail us your testimony, your story can change the outcome of someone future.📧 Email your story to:[email protected] leave us a voicemail 📲 (641) 505-1558Want to send me an email?
