Bethany Lewis

Author

I’m Bethany—a wife, mother of six, special-needs mom, psychology graduate, caregiver, advocate, and professional holder-of-everything-together.

For most of my life, I’ve known how to survive. I’ve walked through hospital rooms, motherhood, heartbreak, trauma, uncertainty, and seasons that taught me how to pick up a sword before they ever taught me how to put one down. Somewhere along the way, being strong stopped being something I did and became who I was.

But nobody really tells you what happens when the storm finally gets quiet.

The Anchor Gets Tired was born in that space.

I write about motherhood, faith, special-needs parenting, survival, healing, marriage, identity, and the strange process of discovering who you are when you’re no longer just trying to make it through the day. Sometimes it’s heavy. Sometimes it’s hopeful. Sometimes it’s completely unhinged—because that’s real life.

I don’t have all the answers. I’m just learning that maybe strength isn’t always carrying everything.

Sometimes strength is finally putting it down.
