The Detours That Change You Into Who You’re Meant to Be

In this episode, Tasha, Nerina, and Judy share three deeply personal stories about the seasons that rerouted them without warning and what they found on the other side. A boundary set by a colleague that quietly redirected a career. A marriage that ended and a decade of rebuilding. A broken hip and a rehab center that turned into an unexpected place of purpose. This is an honest conversation about personal growth, resilience, and the faith it takes to trust a path you did not choose.What You'll Hear in This EpisodeWhy a detour is movement and not failure, even when it is hard to believeHow a colleague setting a boundary eight years ago changed the entire direction of one woman's careerWhat surviving a marriage ending taught one woman about who she really isHow a broken hip led to one of the most meaningful seasons of Judy's lifeWhy mourning what you planned is part of honestly moving forwardWhat it means to choose to suffer well instead of just sufferA closing prompt to help you name what this season is building in youMost Powerful MomentJudy shares the story of falling and shattering her hip at the Morton Arboretum in December 2024. Unable to complete the grant work she had been doing, she found herself sitting in a rehab center asking what her purpose could possibly be in that moment. The answer that came was simple: bring joy to the people around you. Six weeks later, she was wheeled out to nurses and therapists clapping and presenting her with a medallion that said "The Spark." It is the kind of story that reminds you that purpose does not pause for a detour. It shows up inside it.About Generations WovenGenerations Woven is a podcast where three generations of women share honest conversations about relationships, healing, faith, identity, and personal growth.Each episode explores real life experiences and the wisdom that comes from walking through life together.Discover more episodes at https://www.generationswoven.comLegal DisclaimerGenerations Woven shares personal stories, encouragement, and honest conversations.
