In this episode of Created To Be Podcast, former MSU All-American softball player Madisyn Farmer joins Bethany, Justin, and Brandi for an honest conversation about the transitions we all face in life.Madi shares her deeply personal journey of stepping away from college athletics and the unexpected grief that came with it. From discovering she played her final season on a broken foot to navigating the loss of structure, community, and identity, she opens up about the often-unspoken realities of life after sports.Brandi reflects on leaving a 17-year community and what it looks like to trust God when the next step isn’t clear. Justin and Bethany unpack how seasons of change reveal what’s beneath the surface—performance-driven mindsets, fear of others’ opinions, and the challenge of redefining purpose.At the center of it all is a powerful truth: God remains the same—even when everything else changes.Whether you’re an athlete, a recent graduate, or simply walking through a season of transition, this episode offers a raw and hope-filled perspective on healing, growth, and learning to move forward when life doesn’t look like you expected.Leave Us a Comment!Send us your comments!
