There's a specific kind of exhaustion that comes from doing everything right and still watching the ground shift anyway.I sit down with Kendall Dunn, a military spouse, adoptive mom, and author, about the year everything happened at once. An adoption process she was told would take two years moved in ninety days. Her husband deployed the day after their daughter was born. A pandemic hit weeks later. And in the middle of all of it, her newborn needed emergency surgery for what doctors feared was a brain tumor. Underneath the medical crisis, Kendall was also stepping into a reckoning she hadn't been prepared for, adopting and suddenly seeing her own community through a different lens.Kendall talks about a concept from her book, soul friction, the discomfort of two things rubbing against each other, and the choice that friction creates. It can burn a life down, or it can refine it. She talks about learning to pray for capacity instead of praying for her circumstances to change, something she's had to lean on again now that her husband is deploying a second time. It's a conversation about what a hard season makes out of a person, instead of just waiting for the hard season to end.In This Episode, I Cover:The season that moved faster and harder than anything Kendall was prepared for, from a fast-tracked adoption to a medical scare to a reckoning that changed how she saw her own community.The concept of soul friction from her book, and the choice it forces between burning out and being refined.Why she started praying for capacity instead of praying for her circumstances to change, and what that's looked like through a second deployment cycle.Connect with Kendall:Instagram: www.instagram.com/kendallmariahWebsite: www.kendallmariah.comPurchase Kendall's book here: https://go.shopmy.us/p-52606503 or on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Target, etc.______________________________________[FREE TRAINING]How high-achieving women can DITCH anxiety in as little as five minutes a day www.brave-method.com/anxiety[FREE CALL]Book a free call to ask me questions directly and seeif we are a fit for working together. www.bravemethod.com/book[RESULTS]Which of these results do you want and inspire you the most? www.brave-method.com/testimonials💗 Dr. Steph @DrStephanieLopezwww.brave-method.com
