Welcome to Moms With A Call, a podcast for the spiritually curious, the tender-hearted, and the ones still figuring it out. In this special episode, McKenzie and Rebecca sit down with their first guest, Kellie Griggs, for an honest and powerful conversation about identity, insecurity, and what it means to return to faith after hitting rock bottom. Kellie opens up about growing up surrounded by strong women, navigating deep struggles with codependency and comparison, and the long journey back to herself, and to God. Together, we talk about the pressure to perform, how social media shapes our sense of worth, and why authentic friendship and surrender are more needed now than ever. We talk about: Growing up strong… but still unsure The quiet weight of insecurity and codependency A rock-bottom moment that cracked everything open Parenting through generational change Church culture, healing, and how to discern your place This is Part 1 of Kellie’s story; raw, relatable, and rooted in grace.
