About How She Hopes - Faith Filled Motivation for Christian Women for the Hard Seasons of Life
Faith filled motivation for Christian women who are silently struggling with their faith in the hard seasons of life. Do you struggle with guilt and shame as a Christian woman experiencing a lack of faith during a particularly hard time in life? Are you tired and stressed out but desperately trying to remain connected to God? Are you in a time in life feeling alone, doubtful and worried? Do you wish you could understand the purpose for the pain; or wonder where is God in these tough times? Do you wish you could be honest with your pain but feel you have no one who understands you? Or worried that you will be judged for your ”lack of faith” as you navigate this season of challenges? Are you looking for an uplifting message to renew your mind and spirit? Someone to connect to that ”gets it” but won’t allow you to stay in your suffering? Are you ready to live a life of clarity and purpose? If that’s you.. and you are ready to shake off the burdens of today and receive a renewed mind - you’re in the right place friend! Hi! I’m Courtney, wife, mom, & entrepreneur. I too have been through seasons of loss, doubt, stress, heartache and everything in between. When sharing my own testimony, I have been asked, how do you find hope when faced with everything you have experienced? I always get back into my source of strength, the Bible. Isaiah 40:31 says this, ”But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint” My friend, are you ready to renew your strength? In this podcast, you will find biblical faith filled motivation for the toughest of days. You can lean in and on the word at all times. I share tips on how to lead even at your weakest and how to embrace the suck today and live a life of joy now. Get ready to lean into what God says about you, your circumstances and your future. Listen to others as they share their powerful testimonies with guest speakers who share how God gave them a purpose from their pain. Just like you. You’re invited to sit at the table just as you are. Nothing fancy here. Come on. Sit. Pour a drink...relax. God’s got it.

Hello friend, Welcome to the How She Hopes Show, I’m Courtney Dumlao. Wife and mom of many. I love snacks and a fun drink. After Jesus, my family is my world. When I’m not working, I love to hang out with my family and friends, eat good food and enjoy our island life. January 1, 2019 I declared I would write a book by the end of the year. By December of 2019 I had a complete outline. It took all of 2020 to finalize and in April of 2021 I self published my first book. As a high school drop out and teen mom, I worked hard to create the life I have today. There were no hand outs on my journey. Whether I was a stay at home mom, working mom or full time student and entrepreneur, I refused to be a statistic. I gave up comfort in order to graduate high school, start a business, attend college, and raise my family. Have you refused to accept the road in front of you and forge your own path? Have you fought to break the mold and do the thing that no one else in your circle is doing? Have you said, nope, not that, it stops with me? I have been there. I have experienced the hard seasons of loss, fear, desperation, loneliness and unhappiness that caused me to want to give up many times over. I was desperate to prove I was worthy of love, respect and joy. And then, I burned out…and had no other option but to process the trauma I had endured from various life experiences. I began to explore if, when and where I got off track with God and where when and how to I get back on track. It was then, I began to recover from betrayal and loss and process the challenges and mistakes in my relationships and life choices. I began to recover. I began to heal. In this podcast you will find transparent and authentic conversations about navigating a life of faith while overcoming the shame, pain and regret of the past. You will be motivated to take risks that build your faith and trust in God. You will be encouraged by the dynamic testimonies of guest speakers who have overcome their own hard seasons and now live to share the good news. In the middle of my hard seasons, I struggled to keep my hope in Jesus. But, by the grace of God… I did. This my friend is how others began to witness HOW SHE HOPES. She is you..She is me…She is the friend who refuses to give up without a fight for the life God has created her for. Isaiah 40:31 But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. My mission is to motivate you as you journey through your seasons. There is a season for every activity under the sun. Will you join me this season as we embrace this moment and explore this new season with curiosity and believe for a brighter tomorrow? I would love to hold your hand in support and motivate you as you navigate your current season. Welcome friend… I’m so glad you are here. You are invited to sit at the table that God has prepared for you. The snacks are plenty and the drinks are refreshing. Sit down and relax…God’s Got it.
