Ep. 110 - How to Find Meaning Through Faith, Love, and Sacrifice with Kelly Towart

In this episode of the Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam sits down with Kelly Towart—content creator, former licensed therapist, foster and adoptive mother, and advocate for intentional family-centered living—for a deeply honest conversation about motherhood, identity, faith, anxiety, adoption, and learning to slow down enough to hear what truly matters.

Known for her authentic approach to motherhood, family life, and storytelling online, Kelly has built a platform rooted in vulnerability, connection, and purpose. But long before social media partnerships and content creation, Kelly spent years working as a therapist—helping others navigate anxiety, identity, relationships, and emotional healing. Eventually, becoming a mother shifted everything.

After experiencing difficult pregnancies and emotional burnout from balancing therapy with motherhood, Kelly made the difficult decision to walk away from counseling and fully embrace a new season of life centered around raising her children with intentionality and presence. What began as a creative outlet through fashion and blogging unexpectedly evolved into a thriving digital platform and career.

The conversation also explores Kelly and her husband's foster and adoption journey, including the heartbreak of reunification, opening their home again after loss, and eventually adopting their son Quinn after he was safely surrendered as an infant. Through it all, Kelly shares a powerful perspective on brokenness, redemption, faith, and the belief that purpose is often revealed through love, sacrifice, and service to others.

This episode is about slowing down, trusting God, embracing the unexpected, and understanding that some of the most meaningful versions of life are the ones we never originally planned for.
