    Season 2 Episode 2 :Hope, Healing & Purpose with Ingrid Hanson Popp

    From Hope, Healing & Purpose with Ingrid Hanson-Popp Grace to Grow: From Valley to Mountain — Stories of Resilience, Redemption and Rising Strong Episode Description What does it mean to lovingly let go of the people who raised us—and discover that even in the deepest valley of grief, we are never truly alone? In this powerful episode of Grace to Grow: From Valley to Mountain, host Shirley Brenda Musubika sits down with Ingrid Hanson-Popp, a creative powerhouse, master pianist and author of Becoming an Orphan, for a heartfelt conversation about grief, caregiving, faith, creativity, purpose and finding hope in seasons of loss. Ingrid brings a unique perspective to the experience of losing a parent. As a classically trained pianist, author and creative professional, she explores the connection between music, silence and the spaces in between—the "rests" that can sometimes shape us just as profoundly as the notes. She shares her personal journey through the loss of her father and the final years of caring for her mother, offering an honest look at what it means to enter what she describes as a "new world" after losing a parent. Through her books, music and work with Dropped Pencil, Ingrid encourages people to find the beauty, creativity and hope that can exist even in difficult seasons. Her message is particularly meaningful for caregivers and anyone navigating grief: healing does not mean pretending that loss does not hurt. It means learning to care for yourself, receive God's grace and discover how your story can continue even when life looks completely different. Ingrid reminds us that grief may change the melody, but it does not mean the song is over. If you are grieving, caring for someone you love, feeling exhausted or wondering whether your purpose still exists after a major loss, this conversation is for you. Your valley may feel like the end of one chapter—but with God, it can become the beginning of a new movement.

    Season 2 Episode 1: God In the Dark & In the Spotlight with Hillary Moonberger Powers

    God in the Dark and in the Spotlight with Hillary Momberger PowersGrace to Grow: From Valley to Mountain — Stories of Resilience, Redemption and Rising StrongEpisode Description What happens when the woman everyone sees in the spotlight is quietly struggling in the dark? In this powerful episode of Grace to Grow: From Valley to Mountain, host Shirley Brenda Musubika sits down with Hillary Momberger Powers, a woman of faith, mentor, writer and public speaker whose life story is one of healing, recovery, resilience and redemption. For more than 40 years, Hillary has used her experiences to encourage women to heal from their wounds, rediscover their love for life and give back to others. But behind the accomplishments and public influence is a deeply personal story of childhood wounds, addiction, recovery and learning to understand her identity beyond what had happened to her. Hillary reflects on her years as a child actress and what was happening internally behind the scenes. She opens up about growing up under the control of a narcissistic mother, the impact that experience had on her understanding of love and identity, and the ways she sought relief through alcohol. Her journey eventually led to sobriety in 1983 and into a life dedicated to helping wounded women. Through her work, including studying under John Bradshaw and working in early sober living programs for women, Hillary gained a deeper understanding of trauma, addiction, self-worth and the process of healing. At the heart of her story is a powerful question: Where was God when everything was falling apart? Hillary shares how she came to recognize God's presence not only in her restoration, but also in the darkest chapters of her story. This episode explores what it means to move from surviving to truly living, how women can reclaim their power without becoming hardened, and why our past does not have to become our identity. If you have ever felt unseen, ashamed of your past, trapped by childhood wounds or afraid that your struggles have disqualified you from God's love, Hillary's story offers a message of hope: Connect with Grace to Grow If this episode inspired you, please: Subscribe to Grace to Grow: From Valley to Mountain.
