What You'll Learn:

In this episode, Lexi Hopkins Cunningham opens up about one of the most urgent and often misunderstood conversations of our time.

She will also share practical tools and resources for those who are hurting, those who love someone who is hurting, and anyone who wants to be better equipped to help. A vital and compassionate conversation for anyone who believes that every life has immeasurable value and that no one should have to face their darkest moment alone.

A refreshing and practical conversation for every parent who wants to show up with more intention, more connection, and more confidence in the way they lead their family.

She will explore the difference between healthy conviction and destructive guilt, why women in particular struggle to release themselves from past mistakes and perceived failures, and the practical and faith-filled steps we can take to finally lay it down, extend grace to ourselves, and walk forward with a lighter heart. A freeing and deeply personal conversation for anyone who is ready to stop being a prisoner to what they can no longer change.
