In this powerful episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, Joy sits down with Kari Davis to share her deeply moving story of faith, grief, healing, and restoration.

Kari’s life changed suddenly when her husband suffered a devastating brain hemorrhage, leaving her widowed with three young children. In the midst of overwhelming grief, uncertainty, and heartbreak, Kari had to navigate not only the pain of loss but the responsibility of leading her family forward.

Yet through that painful season, God began reminding her of something she never expected — that she was still allowed to dream again.

Today, Kari shares how God walked with her through the process of doing the necessary “soul work” to heal her mind, will, and emotions. Through intentional healing, faith, and surrender, Kari experienced profound restoration. She is now remarried and part of a beautiful blended family, living proof that God truly does bring beauty from ashes.

Kari now has a heart for encouraging women who have experienced grief, heartbreak, or loss to lean into the healing process and trust that God is still writing their story.

✨ In this episode, we talk about: • Navigating the sudden loss of a spouse • Processing grief while raising young children • The importance of doing the deep soul work required for healing • Learning to dream again after devastating loss • How God restores broken places and creates beauty from ashes • Finding hope and purpose after grief

If you’ve experienced loss, heartbreak, or a season that changed your life unexpectedly, this conversation will remind you that healing is possible and restoration is part of God’s story for you.

Your pain is not the end of your story.

God is still writing something beautiful.
