Pardon the Mess

What do I do with my life? How to pursue your gifts while feeling trapped and unseen with Brooke Warnock

There’s not a day that goes by that I do not hear these same sentiments from a mom. And I have been there many times.

  • I feel so lost.
  • I don’t know what to do with my life.
  • I feel overlooked and unseen.
  • I feel like I don’t dream or use my gifts.

In this episode, I get the pleasure of having a real life heart chat with my friend (and my Life Plan Coach) Brooke Warnock. She shares about her journey of raising 5 kids on a ranch – while wanting to use her unique gifts for the Lord. It can be a huge struggle for all of us.

My favorite part is how honest she is about the struggle of using your gifts and raising kids. She will make you feel so seen as she shares her journey. I pray you feel so very encouraged that this is not the end of your story. 

In some ways, the motherhood years are just the beginning. If you don’t have your exact calling and purpose figured out – do not feel discouraged. I pray you never forget that God will use every bit of you and your giftings to raise those kids and build your home. 

In this episode we discuss: 

  • What to do when you feel trapped and unseen at home
  • How to bring your gifts and talents into your home, not just your vocation
  • How to dream and redefine your life while embracing the seasons of parenting

What is wrong? What is right? What is confused? What is missing?
