I loved this honest and hope-filled conversation with Shelly Snead about what it really looks like to embrace authenticity, motherhood, and faith in a world of comparison.
Shelly shares her story of navigating challenges in marriage and parenting, and how she’s learned to embrace an “un-perfect” life—one where flaws and struggles become places for God’s grace to shine. We talk about the trap of comparison (especially in a social-media world), the power of gratitude, and the freedom of owning our God-given identity.
This conversation will encourage you to let go of the highlight reel and lean into the life God is writing in you—mess and all.
We talk about:
✨ Why authenticity is vital in a culture of comparison
✨ What it means to live an “un-perfect” life
✨ The challenges and beauty of motherhood
✨ Practical strategies to stop comparing and start embracing your story
✨ How gratitude shifts perspective and brings contentment
✨ Why praying for those we compare ourselves to changes everything
✨ The beauty of imperfection and God’s grace in our weakness
Where do you feel comparison most steals your joy—and what might it look like to embrace the “un-perfect” in that space?
Whether you’re in the thick of motherhood, wrestling with identity, or just weary of trying to measure up, this episode is an invitation to breathe, rest, and remember: God is writing a story in you worth living—just as you are.
