What if God is not asking you to move into the “next big thing” but to be grounded right where you are? In this conversation, Tori and Tracy get real about identity, calling, stay-at-home motherhood, and the exhausting chase for affirmation outside the home.
For the woman who keeps asking, “Am I falling behind?” or “Shouldn’t I be doing more?”—this episode is your permission slip to breathe, be where your feet are, and trust that God has you exactly where He wants you.

In This Episode We Talk About:
Tori’s 10-year wrestle with being a stay-at-home mom and constantly chasing “God’s will” in the next opportunity, title, or achievement.​


Tracy’s journey of stepping away from a good, successful thing to lock in at home during a hard season and what it looked like to quiet the noise and get off social media.


How the word “just” (as in “just a wife and mom”) sneaks into our language and steals the value of the most important roles God has given us.


The craving for affirmation and recognition—why words of affirmation feel so good in work and ministry, and how unseen faithfulness at home still deeply matters to God.


Letting go of guilt, comparison, and cultural pressure to “be more” and instead anchoring your identity as a daughter of the King.


The idea of being grounded not as being stuck or stagnant, but as being anchored in trust like a boat on the waves—still moving, but held secure by Jesus.


Seeing each season (babies, teens, moving, new church, college-bound kids) as temporary, purposeful, and part of God’s timeline, not a permanent label on your worth.​


Gratitude for past seasons—even ones that may have come from striving or partial disobedience—and how God still used them for provision, growth, and connection.

If You’re In a Tug-of-War Season…
This episode is especially for you if:
You feel pulled between home and hustle and wonder if you’re “wasting” your gifts at home.


You’ve stepped away from something good (a job, business, or ministry) and are grieving, doubting, or second-guessing the decision.


You’re struggling with comparison on social media and feeling like everyone else is “ahead” of you.


You’re longing for peace, presence, and permission to be fully where God has you right now.

Trusting God’s placement and timing in every season.


Holding dreams, homes, churches, and plans with open hands.


Remembering that nothing is wasted in God’s hands—even the seasons we’d label as striving or misaligned.


You are not “behind.” You are not “just” anything. You are loved, called, and placed on purpose right where you are today.
If this episode encouraged you, send it to a friend who is wrestling with her worth, her work, or her role at home, and remind her she doesn’t have to keep chasing the next thing to be in God’s will.
