I’m Hannah.

sharing honest thoughts from everyday faith.

I’m a wife, mama of 2, author, and podcaster who recently moved from DFW to Denver.
You can usually find me sharing everyday life on social media, grabbing coffee with friends, thrifting with the fam, or curled up with a latte and a good book.

God has done a deep, beautiful work in my heart (and continues to).

I grew up in the Church, but struggled a lot with mental health, eating disorders, suicidality, and sexual trauma as a teenager. God met me in the middle of those struggles - the night I planned to commit suicide was the same night my mom found out about how bad things had gotten. She spent all night praying for me in the room right below mine and all I remember is waking up the next morning, which was a Sunday, so we went to church…
(This is what my second book, Waking Up: Living Open is about.)

The moment I thought was the end for me turned out to be the beginning of a long healing journey, and ultimately a testimony that God has turned around for my good and His glory.

Since then, I have been passionate about sharing my story with other women to encourage them that purpose isn't about arriving or finally overcoming all of our struggles, but walking with Jesus right in the middle of our mess and pain and humanity.

I used to think that being a "good Christian" meant ticking all the boxes and having it all together.
Now I believe that it was never about my goodness, but His, and a Love that embraces me just as I am on the way to becoming all He has created me to be for His glory.

After I wrote about my testimony in my second book, I really thought that the rest of my life would just be sharing my testimony of overcoming and healing and finally living in my beautiful "purpose."

A few years ago, I had 3 miscarriages that shook my life and my faith, and through a season of deep grief and getting really honest with God about my pain and doubts, the Holy Spirit led me to a place where I finally realized that purpose doesn't mean a life free of pain and struggles and questions. That was the pivotal moment when I recognized God was never waiting on me to "get it together," and I experienced a freedom I had never known before that point - that it's not up to me or even about me, and that's actually a huge relief because I'm kind of a mess.

And that's the whole point: Jesus saw us in our mess and broken humanity, and He still chose to come be with us because He loves us. Experiencing that revelation of HIS goodness truly freed me from the pressure I feel to be good enough or have all the answers, and it changed everything for me.

I believe He can — and deeply desires to — do the same for you, friend. You are invited into a beautiful, purposeful life right here in the middle of the wild, messy, broken, imperfect journey of faith.
