    #246// I'm Doing Everything I'm Supposed To — So Why Do I Still Feel Stuck?

    You're showing up. You're praying. You're holding it together the best you know how. And yet, something inside of you still feels heavy, unsettled, and stuck. This episode is for the grieving mom who isn't falling apart—but also isn't finding relief. The one who's doing "all the right things" and quietly wondering why it still feels so hard. In this conversation, we gently explore why grief doesn't respond to effort the way other challenges do, and why feeling stuck is not a sign of failure—but often a sign that you've been carrying too much on your own. Inside this episode, you'll hear: Why grief can feel heavier even when you're doing everything "right" The difference between functioning and healing after child loss How Scripture reframes the burden you've been carrying Why needing support doesn't mean you're weak—it means you're human If you've been wondering whether it's okay to stop trying to handle this alone, this episode offers permission, clarity, and hope. You are not behind. God sees the weight you're carrying, and He has never asked you to carry it by yourself. Press play when your heart needs reassurance—and a reminder that support is not a failure, but a gift.   🤍 Ways to Receive Support ✨ 1:1 GRIEF MENTOR SESSIONS If your heart feels overwhelmed, scattered, or unsure how to carry what you're feeling right now, a 1:1 Grief Mentor Session offers a quiet, personal space to be heard and supported. In each session, I listen carefully to your story and offer compassionate, faith-centered  personalized guidance to help you understand your grief and take steady steps forward — without rushing or fixing.

    #245// Why Is January Harder After Child Loss? What Grieving Moms Need to Know

    January can feel isolating when you're grieving your child. The world is talking about fresh starts and new goals, but you may feel like you're living in a world you don't recognize anymore—because your child is no longer in it. In this episode, I'm naming why January often feels heavier than people expect after child loss, and why it makes sense if you don't want to "reset," "start over," or plan your way into a better version of yourself right now. This is about stepping out of the world's pressure—and finding a steadier place to stand. In this episode, you'll learn… Why the "new year" narrative can feel so disorienting after child loss How to recognize when cultural pressure is adding weight to your grief What it means to opt out of timelines and expectations that no longer fit your life How God begins in the empty, formless places—when you have nothing left to give If January has been making you feel out of place, behind, or quietly exhausted, I want you to know this: there is nothing wrong with you. You don't have to force progress to prove you're okay. Press play, take a slow breath, and let this episode remind you that God meets you right where you are—and He will not rush you.   🤍 Ways to Receive Support ✨ 1:1 GRIEF MENTOR SESSIONS If your heart feels overwhelmed, scattered, or unsure how to carry what you're feeling right now, a 1:1 Grief Mentor Session offers a quiet, personal space to be heard and supported.

If dread, exhaustion, or questions are filling your heart right now, this episode meets you exactly where you are. In this conversation, we slow everything down and name what so many grieving moms feel in January—but rarely say out loud. You don't need answers. You don't need a plan.

    #243// How Do I Walk Into a New Year After Child Loss? Without Leaving Love Behind

    As the calendar turns toward a new year, many grieving moms feel an unexpected weight. Moving forward can feel disloyal. Hope can feel complicated. And the quiet question rises: How do I walk into a new year when my child is no longer walking beside me? In this episode, we return to Mary one final time. Scripture tells us she treasured these things and pondered them in her heart. Mary did not move forward by forgetting what she carried. She moved forward by holding love and life together. In this episode, you'll hear: Why stepping into a new year can stir guilt after child loss How Mary teaches us to carry memory and movement together Why loving your child deeply and living forward are not opposites How faith invites you to walk gently into what comes next This conversation offers permission to grieve, remember, and continue living — all at the same time.   🤍 Ways to Receive Support ✨ 1:1 GRIEF MENTOR SESSIONS If your heart feels overwhelmed, scattered, or unsure how to carry what you're feeling right now, a 1:1 Grief Mentor Session offers a quiet, personal space to be heard and supported.

    #242// Why Does Grief Feel Heavier After Christmas? You're Not Going Backward

    You made it through Christmas — and yet the quiet afterward feels heavier than you expected. If you're wondering why grief feels stronger after the holiday ends, you're not alone. In this episode, we continue Mary's story beyond the manger and into ordinary life. The miracle had arrived, but the road ahead was still uncertain. Mary kept walking forward without applause, without relief from responsibility, and without knowing what the future would hold. In this episode, you'll hear: Why grief often intensifies after the holidays end How emotional exhaustion can surface once the "survival mode" wears off Why feeling worse does not mean you're regressing in your grief What Mary's quiet faithfulness teaches grieving moms about the days after Christmas If your heart feels heavier now than it did during the holiday itself, this episode offers reassurance, truth, and permission to rest.

    #241// How Do I Walk Into Christmas After Child Loss? When Hope Feels Fragile

    In this final episode of the Advent series, we sit with Mary at the edge of Christmas — waiting, holding, trusting — long before joy was fulfilled. Mary did not know how everything would unfold, but she carried hope inside uncertainty. Her story reminds grieving moms that hope does not begin when circumstances change. Hope begins in the waiting. In this episode, you'll hear: Why hope often arrives before comfort or clarity How Mary held sorrow and promise together without forcing joy What quiet, real hope looks like for grieving moms during Christmas Why you don't need to perform happiness to experience God's presence If Christmas feels tender this year, this episode offers a gentle place to rest.

    #240 // Why Can't I Control My Grief? Learning to Let Go Without Losing Your Child

    There comes a moment in grief when striving runs out. When you've tried to hold it together, tried to understand, tried to manage the pain — and you realize you can't carry it this way anymore. If you're a grieving mom who feels exhausted by trying to control what can't be fixed, this episode is for you. In this fifth episode of the Advent series, we turn to Mary's quiet, courageous surrender in Luke 1:38. Mary didn't say yes to God because she understood the road ahead — she said yes because she trusted the One who would walk it with her. Her surrender didn't remove hardship, but it changed how she carried it. In this episode, you'll hear: Why surrender in grief is not weakness — it's wisdom What Mary's "yes" teaches grieving moms about trust without certainty How control often becomes a survival strategy after loss Why surrender doesn't mean letting go of your child, your love, or your story This Advent, you're invited to stop striving — and begin entrusting your heart to God, one day at a time.

    #239// God, Why Does It Still Feel So Lonely? When No One Can Really Understand

    Loneliness in grief doesn't always look like being alone — sometimes it shows up surrounded by people, sitting at full tables, yet feeling unseen inside your ache. This Advent conversation speaks directly to that quiet loneliness many moms carry, especially during the holidays. In this episode, I reflect on Mary's lonely journey into Bethlehem and how her experience reveals a tender truth about grief: God can be present… and the road can still feel isolating. In this episode, you'll discover… Why loneliness doesn't mean God is absent How Mary's birth story mirrors the unseen ache of grief Why feeling misunderstood doesn't signal weak faith What helps when your heart longs to be truly seen If this season feels heavy and lonely, this gentle reflection is here to remind you — you are known, held, and never overlooked by heaven. Press play and come sit with me for a few quiet moments of comfort and companionship.
