  • S1 Ep2: Womb Darkness: Miscarriages and a Fall of Grace
    Sep 13 2025
    On what should be a day of pure celebration, we hold space for a more complex truth. This special episode, recorded on my daughter's 18th birthday, journeys back through the "womb darkness" of multiple miscarriages and the terrifying moment of her fall as a 4 and a half year old, a event that became an unexpected sign of grace.

    We will navigate the lonely landscape of pregnancy loss, discover a scripture that gives language to unspeakable grief, and find solidarity in the quiet resilience of a hope that refuses to be extinguished. This is for anyone whose joy is tinged with sorrow, and who needs reminding that our deepest pains can be the very places where light breaks through.

    What happens when "for better or worse, in sickness and in health" becomes your devastating reality?

This is the story of how grief and unimaginable stress turned inward, creating a chasm between two people who loved God and each other deeply. We will hold onto the scriptural truth of a three-strand cord, and find solidarity in the practical steps to communicate and seek help when the weight is too heavy to carry alone.

  • S1 Ep4: The Sister-Shaped Hole: Sibling Loss and Shattered Identity
    Sep 27 2025
    Sibling loss is often a disenfranchised grief, overlooked by a world that does not understand the unique bond.
    Today, we talk about the earth-shattering pain of losing a sister, the keeper of your secrets, your shared history, and a part of your own identity. This is the story of a sudden, tragic car accident that took my sister's life, leaving me to navigate a world that feels permanently altered. We will find solace in a scripture of raw lament, and discover ways to honour our siblings and carry their memory forward when the path ahead seems broken.

  • S1 Ep5: Burying My Twin: Secondary Loss & Identity
    Oct 4 2025
    What do you grieve when the person who dies is not your child, but felt like your own?

    This is the story of a sacred friendship, two boys raised like twins, and an eight-year battle with cancer that tested everything. We explore the concept of "compound grief", when losses pile up in the same year and the unique pain of "secondary loss," where you are mourning not just a person, but a shared future and a part of your own family's identity.

    We will find our footing in a scripture that calls us to weep with those who weep, and we will navigate the difficult solidarity of how to show up for someone else when your own heart is breaking.
