What does healing look like when life doesn’t turn out the way you planned? In this episode, I sit down with my friend Michelle Smith to talk about forgiveness, abandonment, boundaries, and trusting God after deep disappointment. Michelle shares her journey through adoption, divorce, single parenting, and learning how to forgive — not once, but over a lifetime. This conversation is honest, tender, and filled with hope for anyone walking through unresolved pain. If you’ve ever wondered how to keep trusting God when other people’s choices changed your life, this episode will meet you right where you are.
