What happens when the life you expected doesn’t match the life you’re living?

In this episode of Hope Realized, we’re joined by author and storyteller Natalie Brown, who shares her journey of navigating singleness in a season she never anticipated. Late into her 20s, she found herself facing a reality she hadn’t planned for—one that challenged her expectations, identity, and sense of completeness.

Together, we dive into the tension between expectation vs. reality, the struggle of pivoting when life doesn’t follow our script, and the freedom found in embracing the present rather than striving for what we think should be.

If you’ve ever wrestled with feeling “not enough” or incomplete in your singleness, this conversation is for you. Tune in and discover the hope that’s been there all along.
