We had big plans to bring you a full team recap from MomCon... and then our audio decided to take a vacation. So Alora and I grabbed the mics to share the highlights, the laughs, and the moments we're still smiling about. In this episode, we talk about the fun of being at MomCon and share clips of real moms answering one question: "What surprised you most about motherhood?" Their answers are honest, hilarious, and oh-so-relatable. Grab your coffee (reheated for the third time, obviously) and come hang out with us. And don't worry, the full team recap is still coming!

🎙️ Mini-Series: Starting Over, Wherever You Are What happens when you have to start over? In this Women Soaring mini-series, Alora and Tayler share their real-life experiences navigating moves, transitions, and the sometimes-uncomfortable process of finding your people again. Alora made a big, full-on move to another state—the kind where you're packing up your home, leaving familiar places behind, and building a new life somewhere completely different. Tayler experienced a short-term move, living out of suitcases rather than putting down permanent roots. But just because the move was temporary didn't mean the emotions were. Two very different moves. Two very different experiences. And yet, so many of the same questions: How do you put yourself out there again? How do you make friends when you're the new person? What happens when connecting with people feels harder than you expected? How do you find your confidence when everything around you feels unfamiliar? And how do you start again when part of you just wants to go back to what was comfortable? Throughout this series, Alora and Tayler will share honestly about how they're feeling, what they're learning, the awkward moments, the challenges of connecting, and what it looks like to rebuild community in a new season. Because sometimes a move is measured in miles. And sometimes, it's simply the feeling of having to start over. Join us for the conversation—and maybe you'll recognize a little bit of your own story along the way. 💛 Women Soaring | Growing together. Soaring together.

We saved this one for last. Because this one is ours. Throughout this entire mini-series we created space for the things Christian women carry silently — the exhaustion, the marriage struggles, the motherhood grief, the faith doubts, the things that feel too heavy or too honest or too vulnerable to say out loud. And now it's our turn. In this final episode of Things Christian Women Don't Say Out Loud, Tayler, Alora, Mary, and Clarissa each share their own personal testimony — the thing they have struggled most to say out loud. The real story. The one that cost something to tell. The moment that changed everything. This is not a polished highlight reel. This is four women sitting down together and finally saying the thing. Because we believe that the story you are most afraid to tell is usually the very thing someone else desperately needs to hear. In this episode we talk about:The personal struggles each of us carried in silence — and what finally broke them openWhat it actually costs to say the hard thing out loud for the first timeThe moment faith stopped being performance and became something realMarriage struggles, personal crisis, identity loss, and the seasons we almost didn't surviveWhat God did in the hardest chapters we didn't think we were going to get throughWhy vulnerability in the Christian community is not weakness — it's the doorway to real healingThe freedom that comes when you finally stop pretending and start telling the truthWhat we want every woman listening to know before this series endsScripture anchor: Revelation 12:11 — "They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony." Your testimony has power. Even the parts you haven't said out loud yet. Especially those parts. This is the episode we almost didn't record. And it is the most important one in the series. If you have been listening from Episode 1 — thank you. You showed up for every honest conversation and we hope you felt less alone in every single one of them. And if this is the first episode you're finding — go back and start from the beginning. There is something in this series for every season of your life. This is Women Soaring. And we are just getting started. 🎙️ Women Soaring Podcast is a faith-based podcast for Christian women, military spouses, and first-responder families. New episodes drop every Tuesday.

Have you ever been angry at God and didn't know if that was allowed? Have you sat in church smiling while internally asking why He felt so far away? Have you prayed the same prayer for years and still heard nothing — and quietly started to wonder if any of it was even working? This is Episode 4 of our mini-series — Things Christian Women Don't Say Out Loud — and we saved this one for last on purpose. Because this one is the deepest. And the most personal. In this episode, Tayler, Alora, and Mary go to the places most Christian podcasts won't. The doubt. The unanswered prayers. The seasons where God went completely silent and they didn't know what to do with that. The bitterness of watching someone else receive the miracle you prayed for. The anger they were afraid to admit even to themselves. This is the faith episode. And it is the most honest one yet. In this episode we talk about: Doubt as a doorway — not a dead endWhat to do when God feels completely silentPraying for your husband's safety every deployment and still living in fear every single dayThe prayers that felt unanswered and what that did to our faithBeing angry at God — and whether that's allowed (spoiler: it is)What faith actually looks like inside a military life full of uncertaintyHow to worship God through genuine bitternessComing out of the hardest season still standing — and still believingScripture anchor: Habakkuk 3:17-18 — "Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines... yet I will rejoice in the Lord." Whether you are a lifelong woman of faith or you are somewhere in the middle of the hardest wrestling match of your spiritual life — you are safe here. Bring your questions. Bring your doubt. Bring the things you have never said out loud. Because we believe that is exactly where the real thriving begins. 🎙️ Women Soaring Podcast is a faith-based podcast for Christian women, military spouses, and first-responder families.

This is the one we saved for last. After two raw, honest, grace-filled episodes on the parts of motherhood nobody talks about — we brought the whole Women Soaring team together for this final motherhood episode. Tayler, Alora, Mary, and Clarissa. All four of us. All in. Because we believed the most honest conversation deserved the most voices around the table. In this final episode of the motherhood portion of our mini-series Things Christian Women Don't Say Out Loud, we go straight into the question nobody wants to answer out loud: Have you ever looked at your children and felt like you had absolutely nothing left to give? And we answer it. Honestly. Without the performance. Without the pretending. Just four moms who have been in the thick of it — three kids in diapers, 5pm with nothing eaten, the kind of tired that sleep doesn't fix — talking about what actually got them through. In this episode we talk about:What it actually feels like to have nothing left — and what to do in that momentThree kids in diapers, non-stop days, and the survival mode nobody prepares you forWhy "God will never give you more than you can handle" is NOT in the Bible — and what He actually does insteadElisabeth Elliott's "do the next thing" — the only strategy that works when the whole day feels impossibleThe sanctifying power of being given more than you can handleHow to rely on God's strength when your own is completely goneThe mom job description nobody signed up for — but billions of women are living every single dayFinding your community even when it doesn't look like what you expectedWhat happens when you show up anyway — and God meets you thereThe closing prayer over every mom listening who is running on empty right nowScripture anchors:Lamentations 3:22-23 — "His mercies are new every morning."2 Corinthians 12:9 — "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."This episode ends with a prayer over you. Over the mom who is barely holding on. Over the mom who hasn't eaten since breakfast. Over the mom who just needs someone to see her today. We see you. God sees you. And His mercies are new tomorrow. 🎙️ Women Soaring Podcast is a faith-based podcast for Christian women, military spouses, and first-responder families. New episodes drop every Tuesday.

Nobody told you that motherhood would make you grieve yourself. Nobody warned you that you could love your children with everything in you and still sit in the bathroom floor just to breathe. Nobody prepared you for raising babies alone during deployment, starting over in a new city with a toddler on your hip, or smiling through the mom comparison game at church while quietly falling apart inside. In episode three of our mini series — Things Christian Women Don't Say Out Loud — Tay and the Women Soaring team get honest about the parts of motherhood nobody puts on the highlight reel. The identity loss. The exhaustion that sleep doesn't fix. The guilt that follows Christian moms everywhere they go.

And you are more than enough for your children — even on the days it doesn't feel like it. Pull up a seat. This one is for you. Topics we cover: Losing your identity in motherhood and how to find yourself againMom guilt in the Christian community — where it comes from and what it costs usThe unique weight of raising children in a military familyWhat thriving in motherhood actually looks like on a real, hard dayMoving past the pressure of Proverbs 31 and into the promise behind itNew episodes of Thriving Together drop every Tuesday.

You said yes to him. Then you said yes to the uniform. And nobody told you how heavy both would feel at the same time. In this episode, we're saying OUT LOUD what so many Christian military wives are whispering behind closed doors — I love my husband, but military life is tearing my marriage apart. The deployments. The loneliness. The parenting alone. The reunions that don't feel like the movies. The distance that grows even when he's home. The guilt you feel for struggling when you "knew what you signed up for." We see you. We hear you. And this is a safe place to finally say it. Because loving God, loving your husband, AND being exhausted by this life are not mutually exclusive — and it's time we talked about it. 🎧 Tune in, take a breath, and know you are not alone.
