When God writes the family story, nothing is wasted. In this intimate conversation, host Beatriz M. Torres sits down with Michelle Villanueva, a pastor, health coach, and eldest of four sisters, to trace a legacy of faith that began with parents who declared, “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” From youth-group bonfires to the real talk of raising teens, from seasons of rebellion and redemption to a 55-pound health transformation, this episode is a gentle, hope-filled guide for moms and daughters walking toward healing, identity, and purpose.

You’ll hear how community, prayer, and wise boundaries shape daughters into women of conviction; why moms can release anxiety and step into the role of coach and guide as girls become young women; and how the Lord uses even our body-image battles to restore joy, courage, and calling.
