What happens when your whole world collapses — and you have to rebuild it while pregnant with triplets? 💔

In this powerful, faith-filled episode, Kaylee Berlinee sits down with Christiana Cook, a mother of five whose story is both heartbreaking and breathtaking. After escaping a religious cult and surviving the collapse of her marriage to a former NFL player, Christiana found herself raising five children alone — and relying on faith and family to rebuild from the ground up.

✨ You’ll hear:

• The moment she realized she had to walk away — and the price of freedom

• What faith looked like when everything else failed

• The truth about trauma recovery, single motherhood, and grace

• How she found purpose again through education and faith in God’s timing

This episode is a masterclass in courage — reminding every mom that no matter what’s been taken from you, God can still restore everything.

Reflection Question:

Where in your life is God asking you to trust His timing instead of your plan?
