We would love to hear from you!!!

A three-mile walk turns into a breakthrough about grief, purpose, and what it really means to be a family. Angie and Aric share how one simple birthday decision opened the door to the deepest conversations they have had with their kids since Hallie died.What starts as a chaotic week - a missed food order, a tired running joke, and a need for a reset - becomes something far bigger: a powerful reminder that presence can be purpose. As the family walks side by side at sunset, they uncover conversations that would never happen at a dinner table, including Chase’s speech about loss, what is happening beneath the surface in their home, and why their blended family’s strongest moments often arrive when nobody is rushing anywhere.

You’ll hear:

• Why a walk-and-talk can unlock honesty with your kids, spouse, or partner
• How Angie and Aric use simple routines to build connection in a blended family
• The emotional weight of revisiting places tied to Hallie, and the unexpected comfort of signs that seem to show up at exactly the right time
• How a message from a stranger, four years later, proves that telling one story can keep rippling outward
• Why purpose does not always arrive as a giant revelation - sometimes it looks like being physically present, one step at a time

Angie shares the raw side of grief, including the way joy and heaviness keep trading places, while Aric reflects on how to be still, listen, and make space for tears instead of trying to fix the moment. Together, they connect that experience back to the larger question so many people are asking right now: what am I actually here to do?If you’ve been craving clarity, dealing with grief, or trying to build deeper connection in your family, this conversation offers a grounded, faith-filled reminder that you do not need a neon sign to move forward. Sometimes the next right thing is just taking the walk.

Perfect for anyone looking for hope, practical family connection, or a fresh way to think about purpose.
