Pouring Into the City: Women, Wine and the Courage to Build

from Becoming in Action · host Sandy Hebert

There are seasons in life when we’re just trying to keep up.And then there are seasons when we realize, we’re actually building something.In this conversation, I sit down with Kathy, a mother of four, recent law school graduate, community leader, and co-founder of Toledo’s Share, to talk about what it really looks like to build a meaningful life in the middle of a full one.We talk about the moment she chose to go to law school after witnessing injustice.The reality of balancing motherhood and ambition.And the quiet but powerful decision to stop chasing what looks successful and start pursuing what actually feels aligned.Kathy shares honestly about guilt, identity, partnership, and what it means to redefine your sense of worth beyond achievement.And one of the lines that stayed with me most:“I’m not chasing money anymore. I’m chasing happiness.”This episode is about courage.About letting go of the performance.And about building something slowly, intentionally, and in a season that may not look perfect, but is exactly where you are meant to begin.So, as you move through your day or week you might want to ask yourself a few questions.What am I building right now?What am I chasing?And is it actually making me happy?
