From staying active and fueling your body properly to lowering expectations, rediscovering your identity, and making time for yourself, we discuss what it actually looks like to thrive in motherhood rather than simply survive it.

Andrew also shares the importance of showing up as a husband during postpartum, recognizing the mental load, taking initiative, and supporting your wife in ways that go beyond simply asking, "What do you need?"

Our reminder: You don't have to lose yourself in motherhood. You can embrace this new season while still caring for the woman God created you to be.

🕊️ We dive into:

• Finding time for movement with a newborn
• Nutrition, energy, and taking care of your body
• Navigating the identity shift of motherhood
• Rebuilding hobbies, friendships, and personal interests
• What moms really need from their husbands
• Protecting your marriage through the postpartum season
• Giving yourself grace and inviting God into the everyday chaos

🎙 The Imperfect Walk Podcast is a faith-based podcast hosted by Andrew and Sara Forbes exploring marriage, personal growth, parenting, faith, and the realities of walking with God through imperfect seasons of life.

We spend so much time asking God for a clear answer. A sign. A direct word. But what if God already moved — and it looked like an opportunity instead?

In this episode we get into why God works through open doors rather than loud voices, what it actually looks like to walk in faith without having the full picture, and how the hardships you've been trying to avoid might be the very thing shaping who you're becoming.

Faith without action is dead. And the door you've been praying about might already be open — you just haven't walked through it yet.

🕊️ We dive into:

• Why God gives opportunities instead of direct answers — and what that means for how we move
• The role of hardship in refining your character and wisdom
• How to recognize a God-given open door vs one you're forcing open yourself
• Biblical examples of faith and opportunity in action
• What it looks like to build through the opportunities in front of you right now
• Practical steps to discern God's will when the path isn't clear
• Encouragement for anyone who has been waiting on God and starting to lose hope
