  <description><![CDATA[<p>A faith-based podcast for women who know they’re not the person they used to be — but also know God isn’t finished with them yet.</p><p>Through honest conversations about friendship, growth, loneliness, motherhood, healing, and faith, this podcast is a reminder that life is full of in-between seasons. You’re allowed to grow slowly, ask questions, and figure things out along the way.</p><p><br></p><p>If you’ve ever felt like you’re somewhere between who you were and who you’re becoming, you’re not alone. This is a space for encouragement, grace, and remembering that God is still working in your story.</p><p><br></p><p>But through it all, the reminder stays the same:&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>You’re not broken. You’re not behind. You’re becoming.</p><p>And you don’t have to walk that journey alone.</p><p><br></p><p>-Kate</p>]]></description>
