In this first Kitchen Table episode of the fall season, we ask a question that reframes how we look at every closed door and hard season: what if the obstacle isn’t blocking your dream — what if it is the dream?
Through a personal story of chasing a dream career, hitting financial hardship building a small business, and crying out to God for a way out, this episode explores what happens when an answered prayer doesn’t look like relief — and how perseverance, faith, and trust can turn a struggling season into the very thing that shapes your character and calling. If you’re a woman pursuing a dream that keeps hitting obstacles, this conversation will help you see your struggle in a completely different light.
We also talk about Flourish, an upcoming retreat for women navigating seasons of transition, obstacle, and purpose — because no one should have to carry a hard season alone. Find out more about the retreat here
