Have you ever felt completely called and completely stuck at the exact same time? 🙋‍♀️ This episode is for every mom who knows God put something in her — and wonders if that something still has a future.

Meet Dr. Charity Campbell-Kapella — global leadership expert, doctorate in management, founder of International Mamas and Mentors, and a woman who has led leaders in over 30 countries. She was living her dream. Then at 37, everything changed. And what happened next is not a story about putting your calling on hold. It’s a story about discovering that your calling and your chaos were never actually in conflict.

Dr. Charity was a solo female traveler, university professor in China, and cultural intelligence consultant across U.S. embassies in Vietnam, Iraq, and beyond — leading leaders in 30+ countries. Then at 37 she got married, got pregnant, moved countries, and found herself raising her son alone while her husband waited overseas for a visa she couldn’t control. 🌍

She didn’t give up her calling. She gave in to the season. And God met her there.
