My Story

I spent years trying to balance motherhood, work, and worth until God showed me that peace isn’t found in doing more…it’s found in trusting him more.

Becoming who god designed me to be — one season at a time

Hi, i’m Mandi! I am a wife, girl mom, instructional leader, podcast host, and co-owner of MBS | The Woman Beyond the Cape.
My life has been a mix of military moves, motherhood, and moments that reminded me just how much faith carries us through the in-between.

Over time, I’ve learned that leadership isn’t about perfection — it’s about purpose. It isn’t found in having it all together, but in trusting god right where we are.

This space was created to help women do just that: find peace, presence, and purpose in the messy middle of motherhood.

“God doesn’t call the perfect. He calls the willing.”
