*A gentle note before you listen:

This episode includes conversations about child loss, abuse, grief, and trauma. Please care for your heart as you listen. If today's conversation feels tender, pause, take a breath, and come back when you're ready.

Some conversations don't offer easy answers- they simply remind us we're not alone. Today's episode is one of those. Joy Scott joins me for an honest conversation about navigating unimaginable loss, surviving abuse, wrestling with deep grief, and discovering that hope isn't found by pretending everything is okay. It's found in the presence of God, right in the middle of our pain.

Together, we talk about what it looks like to keep your heart alive when life hurts, how healing often comes slowly, and why your hardest chapter doesn't have to be the end of your story. Whether you're grieving someone you love, mourning the life you thought you'd have, walking through dissapointment, or simply feeling weary, my prayer is that this conversation reminds you that you are deeply loved - and that hope is still possible, even here.

Remember, friend- hope isn't waiting for you on the other side of this. Sometimes it meets you right in the middle.
