You’re not crazy. You’re just tired. So tired, you stopped caring. But numb isn’t peace—and it’s not your destiny. If you’ve ever thought, “I’m not mad, I just don’t care anymore,” this episode is your wake-up call. Because apathy in marriage isn’t neutral—it’s spiritual warfare.

When you’ve cried the tears, prayed the prayers, and still feel nothing—it’s not the end, it’s a warning light. With bold honesty and Holy Spirit fire, Michelle exposes how the slow fade of apathy numbs desire, disconnects hearts, and invites shame to take root. But friend, numb isn’t your new normal. God has more for you.

📌 What You'll Learn in This Episode:
