Patience in Progress

Melanie, Shelly & Karissa

We are revamping our mission and podcast. With this new idea our goal is to still focus on the how to's of navigating through life, what we have personally been through, but also this is a space for honest moments, and the quiet lessons that shape us. In each episode we will explore the messy, beautiful, in-between stages of life. We will explore the places where we are still growing, still healing, and still figuring it all out together. Here, the stories don't have to be perfect to matter. They just have to be true so we can all feel and heal together on this journey we call life.

    Addiction, Betrayal & Survival - Special Interview

    In this first part of our special interview, we sit down for an honest, unfiltered conversation about what addiction leaves behind, not just for the person struggling, but for the people who love them. Lisa shares her story of loving someone through addiction, navigating betrayal, and surviving the emotional fallout that comes with broken trust, confusion, and hope that keeps getting tested. This isn’t a polished recovery story—it’s real life, told in real time. We talk about: What it’s actually like to live beside addiction How betrayal shows up in ways you don’t expect The emotional toll of staying, hoping, and trying to hold everything together This conversation was too important to rush; we decided to make it into two episodes. Make sure you don't miss out on this amazing interview!

    Can Faith and Grief Co-Exist?

    In this deeply personal episode of Patience in Progress, Mel, Shel, and Karissa sit down to explore a question many people wrestle with quietly: Can grief and faith exist at the same time? Through honest conversation, raw stories, and faith-centered reflection, the hosts talk about what it feels like to pray, receive answers, and still feel unsettled. They discuss the reality of moving forward when peace comes in fragments, not all at once, and how faith isn’t the absence of doubt, fear, or grief, but the decision to keep walking anyway. This episode touches on: Prayers that are answered without emotional clarity Choosing obedience when peace feels delayed Navigating grief, loss, divorce, illness, and unanswered prayers The sacred space where anger, faith, and trust can coexist Finding peace in small moments when life feels overwhelming With vulnerability, humor, and compassion, this conversation reminds us that letting go can be holy and painful at the same time, and that God often honors effort over perfection. If you’ve ever wondered whether your faith is “enough” while you’re grieving or felt like you’re failing spiritually because peace hasn’t come yet this episode is for you. As always, be patient with yourself. Progress is still happening, even when you can’t see it.
