About Tenderhearted Truth
Hi sweet friend, I’m Mandy Liz McCroskey — the heart behind Tenderhearted Truth.
I’m a Jesus-loving wife to my high-school sweetheart, a mama of boys, a special-needs mom, a pro-life abortion survivor, and a woman who has lived through shame, heartbreak, and redemption by the grace of God.
For so many years, I carried quiet wounds with a brave face — trying to be strong while feeling deeply sensitive, overwhelmed, and unseen. But God, in His tenderness, pulled me out of places I didn’t think I’d survive. And He didn’t just heal me…
He gave me a purpose.
Tenderhearted Truth was born out of the belief that no woman should have to heal alone, and that the Word of God has the power to restore the most tender, hidden parts of our hearts.
My Story
I’ve always been a tenderhearted woman—sensitive, emotional, and easily moved by the world around me. For a long time, I thought that was a weakness. I carried quiet hurts, deep shame, and secret battles I didn’t know how to name. I tried to be strong for everyone else while silently breaking inside.
My story includes parts I never expected to walk through…
motherhood at a young age, heartbreak, seasons of feeling unseen, and the pain of an abortion that shaped me in ways I didn’t understand until years later. There were years I believed my past disqualified me from being used by God. Years where I felt too messy, too emotional, too broken, or too behind.
But Jesus met me in those places.
Not in the moments where I looked put-together, I mean truly that never happens, but in the moments where I felt most unworthy.
He gently peeled back layers of shame I didn’t even realize I carried.
He showed me that my sensitivity is not a flaw — it’s a gift.
And He slowly turned my deepest wounds into the tender places where His love grew the strongest.
I am not who I used to be, and that is only because of Him.
Today, I am a wife, a mama, a special-needs mom, a pro-life abortion survivor, and a woman who has seen firsthand how God can redeem what once felt hopeless. My healing isn’t something I hide anymore — it’s the story I offer to any woman who feels like she has to heal alone.
