Have you ever been disappointed by an unmet desire or longing? Rebecca George talks about her latest book, "You’re Not Too Late." Rebecca shares her personal story of waiting and longing, what led her to write the book, and the message she hopes will encourage every woman who feels like she’s behind or that her moment has passed. We get real about the universal experience of waiting—waiting for dreams to come true, for prayers to be answered, or for healing to arrive. Rebecca gently reminds us that everyone is waiting on something, and that doesn’t mean God has forgotten us. Instead, she points us to the importance of trusting God's timing and learning to wait well. This episode is a tender and empowering conversation about: • Holding both joy and longing at the same time • Recognizing when good desires become idols • Embracing the blessings in your current season • Understanding that someone else's win isn’t your loss • Taking the next faithful step God is calling you to Whether you’re in a season of waiting, wrestling with unmet desires, or trying to figure out your next step—this conversation will remind you: you’re not too late, and God’s timing is always right on time.

May is Stroke Awareness Month. In this heartfelt episode, we sit down with Crystal Mayo, a storyteller for the soul whose life took an unexpected turn when she suffered a stroke at just 38. Crystal shares how her faith, deeply rooted in her upbringing in a beauty shop, gave her strength through recovery. She opens up about the challenges she faced, the role of therapy (including pet therapy) in her healing journey, and how it all led to the creation of Lucy’s Home. Now a children’s author, Crystal uses her experiences to inspire hope while managing the everyday realities of life—deadlines, dishes, and a hungry dog. We also discuss the warning signs of stroke, the power of community in overcoming hardships, and why we will always be happier when we follow God's guidance.
