Today's episode of the Build Your Brave podcast is one of the most vulnerable yet.

After an unexpected season of deep personal loss, Megan opens up about walking through grief while still showing up as a mom, a leader, and hope dealer.

She shares how Isaiah 43 has anchored her heart and why putting on a garment of praise is a deliberate choice, not a feeling.

If you've ever wondered where God is in your pain, how to hold onto His promises when life looks nothing like you expected, or whether it's possible to keep believing when your faith is tested, this episode is for you.

🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYS

👉🏼 Grief & gratitude can coexist. And God meets you there.

👉🏼 "When," not "if." Scripture promises that we will go through deep waters & fire, but also promises we won't be consumed.

👉🏼 Cling to the Vine. In seasons of loss, staying attached to God isn't optional; it's survival.

👉🏼 Choose your focus. You'll find what you're looking for: God's faithfulness or your losses. One moves you forward; the other keeps you stuck.

👉🏼 Put on the garment of praise. You can't always feel your way into acting, but you can act your way into feeling.

Today's episode of the Build Your Brave podcast tackles one of the hardest truths about parenting: your healing journey doesn't guarantee your children will never struggle. Megan gets vulnerably honest about the pressure we put on ourselves as "cycle-breaking" moms and the unrealistic expectations that can leave us feeling like failures when our kids still face battles.

If you've ever felt guilty because your children are struggling despite all your personal work, wondered if you're failing as a parent, or need a reality check about what breaking generational cycles actually looks like, this episode will bring both relief and clarity. Sometimes the greatest gift we can give our children isn't a pain-free life—it's walking through the pain together. 🩷

🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYS

👉🏼 Healing doesn't remove the struggle—it equips you to respond differently when struggle comes

👉🏼 Breaking chains doesn't mean your children never face battles; it means they won't face them alone

👉🏼 Your worth as a parent isn't tied to whether your children struggle or not 👉🏼 "Train up a child" means teaching them how to walk through hardship with faith, not shielding them from all pain

👉🏼 The legacy isn't a spotless record—it's giving your kids a front-row seat to watch you fight and walk in freedom

Today's episode of the Build Your Brave podcast breaks down the destructive power of shame and how it keeps us from walking in our God-given purpose. Megan shares her personal battle with shame, revealing how easily we can spiral into self-condemnation.

Whether you're currently wrestling with shame, find yourself shrinking back from your calling, or simply need a reminder of God's perspective on your imperfections, this episode offers both compassionate truth and practical wisdom for moving forward.

Trading shame for freedom isn't just possible—it's exactly what you were created for. 🩷

🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYS

👉🏼 Shame makes us want to hide, while God created us to shine
👉🏼 When accusatory self-talk comes ("you, you, you"), it's likely the enemy's voice, not God's gentle correction
👉🏼 "For freedom you have been set free"—stop picking up chains that Jesus already broke
👉🏼 Healing comes in the light—confession and community break shame's power of isolation
👉🏼 You don't need to forgive yourself—you need to receive the forgiveness already given through Christ
