How does Hilary Erickson address audience pain points related to faith and patience during uncertain times?

I’m Hilary Erickson from The Pregnancy Nurse. How can I help?

I talk about faith and patience during uncertain times by being really honest about my own hard seasons—job loss, financial stress, depression, and feeling like God went quiet. I name those feelings (fear, doubt, loneliness) so people don’t feel like they’re the only ones spiraling.

Then I offer small, realistic anchors instead of “just have more faith”:

• Hope in tiny doses – even “hoping for hope” when you can’t feel anything else
• Looking for “fruits” (what good is still coming from staying in the gospel or your routines)
• Focusing on foundations (God loves you; everything else can go on the shelf for later)
• Letting “hanging on” be enough for a while
• Practical structure: serving others, small daily routines, and giving stress less airtime than faith

I also remind women that not fitting the “perfect church woman” mold is normal—and invite them to metaphorically “come sit by me,” so they feel seen instead of judged.

Is there a particular kind of uncertainty you’re thinking about—faith, finances, parenting, or something else?
