Some weeks ask a woman to carry a whole lot at once. There is work to do well, a household to hold together, children and family counting on her, and a world that does not always take her seriously while she does it. In this episode, Pat presents a word from my heart for that woman: how we learned to stay strong and confident in the room, to keep our guard up where we must, and to take our tears and our tiredness to the Lord, who gives comfort and strength for every bit of it.
"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." Philippians 4:13, KJV
Friend, you do not have to be hard to be strong. You can be steady out there and still tender with God. He hears every prayer, including the ones whispered through tears.
One more piece of fun before you go. Our Button Up goose still needs her name, and entries close this Sunday, November 15. Send in the name you love at buttonupsolutions.com/reclaim-her-style-help-us-name-her. The woman whose name is chosen becomes our Honorary Goose Aunt and receives a gifted January founding box. While you are there, the founding waitlist for the January Reclaim Her Style box is open too, and I would love to have you on it.
Thank you for listening, and for sharing this with a woman who needs it.

In this powerful episode of Button Up with Polly, we dig into the tension women often feel when healing begins to change how we show up, especially around the people who raised us. Polly shares her Southern roots, the patterns she inherited, and the truth God revealed: growth isn’t betrayal. Healing doesn’t mean leaving your people behind. With Ruth 1:16 as our anchor, this episode speaks directly to women navigating trauma recovery, leadership, family dynamics, and the guilt that comes with becoming who God is calling you to be. If you’re learning to hold your roots and your healing at the same time, this conversation will meet you right where you are.

In this episode, Polly shares from her own experience as a single mother navigating a financially difficult season and uncovers a powerful truth: God's provision was already in motion before she even realized she was in need. Grounded in Jeremiah 29:11, this episode is an invitation to trust the foreknowledge of a God who doesn't scramble. If you've been wondering whether God sees your situation, this episode is for you.
