Podcast: Adoption, MS, and the God Who Wastes Nothing – with Roxanne Engstrom

I was grateful to be invited by Currey Blanford to be on his podcast and we had a blast!

“In this episode of A Theology of Hustle, Currey sits down with Roxanne Engstrom—entrepreneur, brand storyteller, adoptive mom, and fierce truth-teller. Roxanne shares her journey of faith, family, adoption, chronic illness, and what it means to show up with her full chest in this season of life. Together, we talk about: How living in East Africa reshaped Roxanne’s views on privilege, diversity, and community Lessons from transracial adoption and why listening to hard voices matters Her MS diagnosis and how it reframed her understanding of identity, boundaries, and joy The messy beauty of parenting teenagers while holding both gratitude and disappointment Why storytelling matters—and how she helps people tell their stories ethically and beautifully This conversation is raw, funny, and deeply moving. Roxanne doesn’t shy away from the hard stuff—she speaks with honesty about trauma, healing, and the importance of community while also reminding us to dance, laugh, and choose joy along the way. Whether you’re walking through chronic illness, adoption, parenting, or simply trying to live with more curiosity and courage, Roxanne’s story will encourage you to embrace the mess and trust that God doesn’t waste anything.”
