Have you ever looked in the mirror and wondered where your best years went? That voice telling you you're "used up" or "past your prime" isn't telling the truth—it's telling a story. In this powerful episode, Misty shares her journey from believing her worth had an expiration date to discovering that experience doesn't diminish value but enhances it. You'll uncover the three-story distortions keeping you stuck, learn practical techniques to rewrite your internal narrative, and discover why your most exciting chapters may be the ones you haven't written yet. If you've ever felt invisible, questioned your purpose as your children need you less, or wondered if it's "too late" to start something new, this episode will change how you see your past, present, and future. Your worth isn't a resource that gets used up—it's a force that grows stronger with every challenge you overcome.

Are you exhausted from taking care of everyone else with nothing left for yourself? In this powerful debut episode of "Your Utmost: Unlocking Your Full Potential," discover the shocking truth about motherhood's invisible burden.

Drawing from a personal rock-bottom moment after relocating from Montana to Houston, this episode explores why the belief that "good moms sacrifice everything" is actually hurting you AND your loved ones. This eye-opening conversation tackles:

Whether you're feeling burned out, unappreciated, or simply wondering, "Who am I beyond being a mom?" this episode provides the perspective shift and practical tools to start reclaiming yourself without sacrificing your family's wellbeing.

What you'll learn:

• Why the "virtue" of self-sacrifice is actually undermining your effectiveness as a mother and wife
• How to recognize the warning signs of identity erosion before reaching crisis point
