THRIVE PODCAST I Thought It Would Be Better Than This... - with Jessica Turner
Ever wake up one day, look around at your life, and whisper, “I thought it would be better than this”? You’re not alone. Today on THRIVE, I’m joined by Christian author Jessica Turner to talk about her new book, I Thought It Would Be Better Than This, and her journey of healing after the unexpected end of her 16-year marriage. We’re diving deep into what it looks like to hold onto faith, joy, and purpose when life doesn’t go as planned — especially for Christian women navigating disappointment, divorce, and emotional grief. If you’re in a hard season and longing to reclaim your peace, this episode will meet you right where you are.
