When we're building a new relationship, we spend time getting to know each other. We plan, do stuff together, have fun. But really, that stuff is all about getting to know you, not getting to really know you.

They’re just an island away, yet it feels like a world apart. Losing that daily presence, that comfort of my day one, hits in a way I never imagined.

Motherhood isn’t picture-perfect, it’s messy, exhausting, and holy all at once. In this very first episode, I’m sharing why I started Spilled Milk and why I believe moms today need a place where truth is spoken boldly, biblically, and unapologetically. The world tells us what we want to hear, but God’s Word tells us what we need to hear and that makes all the difference.This episode is raw and honest: part testimony, part conviction, and part invitation.

It was small. A “thank you” unprompted. A moment of kindness. A deep breath before reacting. But it stopped me cold. Because I saw it — the healing. Not loud. Not flashy. But real. The child who once only screamed… paused. The one who wouldn’t look me in the eyes… smiled. And I realized: We’re getting there. It’s not perfect. It’s not linear. But it’s happening.
