Vaughn has always bet on herself, holding tight to God’s “yes” even when life handed her a “no.” In a deeply personal conversation with Sarah Jakes Roberts, Terri talks about the sacred responsibility of carrying a vision, plus recognizing when it’s unfolding differently than you expected. This episode moves through the generational lessons of womanhood while also exploring the beautiful chaos of loving a life that can still wear us out. And sis, maybe that’s the real work.
