My name is Michelle Nairn, and I know what it feels like to hit rock bottom.

The kind of rock bottom where you wonder if your life will ever look normal again… where the weight of your past feels louder than the hope of your future.

There was a time when I believed the worst chapters of my life would always define me. But what I’ve learned is that God doesn’t waste broken stories. He redeems them.

Over the past eleven years, I’ve spent a lot of time reflecting, growing, and rebuilding my life. Today I’m a wife and a mom, living a life that once felt completely out of reach.

Looking back, I see how much I’ve learned through the hardest seasons of my life. And now I feel a deep responsibility to share those lessons — in hopes that someone who finds themselves where I once was won’t have to spend ten years figuring it all out the hard way.

That’s why I started Redeemed & Rising.

This podcast exists for anyone who feels like they’ve fallen too far, failed too big, or lost too much to ever rebuild their life.

And if I’m being honest, I’m still just a girl who sometimes feels scared stepping into this. But I’m choosing to be obedient to what I believe God has placed on my heart.

Because your worst chapter doesn’t have to be the end of your story.

Sometimes it’s the beginning of the one God was writing all along.
