In this episode of Gather the Gals, host Lyncon Martinez talks with Amy Upchurch, founder and CEO of Pink Stork, about the personal pain, faith, and perseverance that led her to build a women’s wellness brand. Amy shares how her severe pregnancy complications, a growing conviction about women’s health, and a calling to serve others turned her story into purpose. We also discuss the tension many moms feel between calling, family, work, and obedience, and why faith, education, and community matter so much in both motherhood and business.
Key topics Amy shares how growing up athletic and being told as a teen that she likely could not have children shaped her early perspective on motherhood. She describes her first pregnancy, when she was diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum Amy explains how that season challenged and deepened her faith, moving belief into action when the experts said one thing and she sensed God saying another. Lyncon and Amy connect over motherhood, postpartum isolation, and the pressure moms feel to do everything alone while still being “strong.” The conversation turns to women’s health education, including the importance of understanding ingredients, methylated folate, and the MTHFR gene mutation in prenatals. Amy emphasizes that faith and wellness should not be separated, and that caring for the body is part of honoring the life God gave us. Lyncon shares how her own ministry idea kept surfacing for years before she finally said yes, showing how calling often arrives as a repeated nudge rather than a dramatic moment. Both women encourage listeners not to let fear, comparison, or a lack of experience keep them from stepping into what God is calling them to do.

Use the link below! https://withme.so/gatherthegals Do you ever tell God you trust Him… while simultaneously trying to control every single detail? 😅 As moms, we're used to being the ones who figure it out. We make the plans, carry the mental load, anticipate everyone's needs, and try to make sure everything, and everyone is okay. But what happens when we can't figure it out? In this episode, we're talking about returning to childlike faith and learning to trust our Heavenly Father the way our children trust us. I'm sharing a simple moment from a rainy Texas drive with my kids that completely changed the way I thought about trust. While I was watching the road, thinking ahead, and figuring out how to get us home safely, my kids weren't worried about any of it. They trusted the person driving. And maybe that's exactly what some of us need to remember right now. Jesus isn't asking us to know every turn in the road. He isn't asking us to figure out exactly how the story ends before we trust Him. He's asking us to trust the Father who already sees the entire road. We're talking about what Jesus meant when He told us to become like little children, why surrender feels so difficult when we're used to being in control, and how to trust God's “no,” “not yet,” and “I have something different” answers. Because childlike faith isn't ignorance. It's confident dependence on a Father you know is good. You don't have to figure everything out. You don't have to know what happens next. And you don't have to carry tomorrow today. You just get to trust the One who already knows. Scripture: Matthew 18:2–4, Proverbs 3:5–6 & Romans 8:28 🤎 A question to sit with this week: What area of my life am I saying I trust God with while still trying to control the outcome? And one more: If I truly believed my Father could see what I can't see, what would I finally be willing to release? 🙏 Prayer: Father, restore our childlike faith. Teach us to trust You before we understand You. Help us loosen our grip on the things we've been trying to control and remind us that we don't have to know everything to know that You are good. Amen. 💕 Looking for Bible study and Christian community?
