The Courage to Stay Open

Join me in this episode as I sit and learn from my dear friend, Katie Ibarra. As she shares her profound journey of faith, motherhood, and deeply personal loss, I know that you will be as edified as I was.  In this episode, Katie discusses how she met her husband, her experiences as a FOCUS missionary, the challenges of discerning what she wanted to do with her life, and the importance of relationships. Katie beautifully opens up about her struggles with health issues, the pain of losing children through both miscarriage and stillbirth, and the transformative power of suffering. More than anything, Katie emphasizes the significance of being open to God and to the gifts of life that surround us in the everyday. She also encourages women to embrace the joy that comes from sharing one's story with others. If you’ve ever struggled to remain open to love or life because of deep suffering and loss, then this episode is for you!  You are not alone, and I know this conversation will help put words to your own unique life experiences. Katie’s story is one of profound hope and joy, so please come and sit with me as I lean in and listen to the gifts and wisdom she has to share with us.
