n this short, heartfelt episode, Shelly shares what happens when life throws curveballs. After the sudden passing of her mother-in-law and moving her twin sons into college, she’s navigating grief, transition, and the new reality of empty nesting—all at once. With only a few minutes to record, Shelly offers encouragement for anyone feeling overwhelmed: sometimes five minutes is enough. You don’t have to do it all, and God’s timing is always right on time, even when life feels messy.
This week’s episode is short and real—just five minutes.
Life doesn’t always go according to plan. In the past two weeks, my family has walked through the loss of my mother-in-law while also moving our boys into college and stepping into the new season of empty nesting.
I don’t have the margin for a full episode, and maybe you need to hear that too: sometimes five minutes is enough.
In this mini-episode, I share:
What happens when life throws curveballs
Why pausing doesn’t mean failing
A reminder that God’s timing is always right on time
We’ll be back next week, September 1, with a full episode: When It’s Time to Pivot.
