Show Notes

In this episode, Lindsey sits down with powerhouse pastor + author DawnCheré Wilkerson for an unfiltered conversation on what it actually means to thrive in life’s waiting seasons. Discover how embracing the "slow burn" can transform your faith, your identity, and your relationship with God. 


Ahead, DawnCheré gets real about surviving eight years of infertility + how surrender, spiritual growth, and self-discovery helped her find meaning in the wait. If you’ve been wrestling with uncertainty or the tension between who you are + who you’re becoming, this is for you. 


Plus, DawnCheré shares how navigating doubt + deconstructing her faith ultimately brought her back to God with renewed clarity + purpose. She opens up about letting go of shame + labels to step fully into her truest identity, finding joy + freedom even in life’s waiting periods. 


We also talk about:

  • The real emotional toll + spiritual lessons of infertility
  • Why apologizing + repairing with your kids is game-changing parenting
  • Practical strategies for intentional, quality time with family 
  • Building, maintaining, and investing in powerful adult female friendships
  • Communication secrets that keep marriage resilient through change
  • The surprising power of journaling for healing + clarity
  • Celebrating your people + cultivating community—no matter how busy life gets
  • Embracing the tension + joy of “living the dream” versus just chasing it
