What happens when life shatters — when your faith feels fragile, your prayers feel unanswered, and you find yourself face down on the bathroom floor?

In this tender and truth-filled conversation, Amber Smith — author of The Girl on the Bathroom Floor — shares her story of unimaginable loss, sacred surrender, and supernatural hope. Through her journey of grief, God’s presence met her in the darkest places and turned heartbreak into healing.

In this episode of Spirit Filled Girl Talk, Sarah and Satin sit down with Amber to talk about what it really means to grieve with God — to wrestle, weep, and still worship. They explore how Scripture becomes a lifeline when guilt and shame try to take hold, and how faith can anchor your heart even when circumstances don’t make sense.

Amber also opens up about navigating marriage and parenting after loss, choosing remembrance over despair, and the surprising coexistence of grief and joy. With humility and grace, she offers practical wisdom for families — including water safety and ISR training — alongside spiritual encouragement for anyone walking through pain.

💬 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• What it looks like to meet Jesus in the middle of raw grief — and how to invite Him into your pain

• Why Scripture is the lifeline that replaces lies with truth in seasons of heartbreak

• How couples can “grieve differently, love sacrificially,” and grow closer through suffering

• Gentle ways to shepherd children through loss while modeling honest hope

• Why remembrance is a spiritual practice that steadies your heart (Deut. 6; Joshua 4)

• Practical water safety and ISR measures every family should know

✨ Key Takeaway: Even when your story feels shattered, Jesus is present in the pieces. He’s near to the brokenhearted, and His hope is stronger than your heartbreak.

If you’re in a season of heartbreak, you are not alone. Jesus is near, and He will carry you. We pray this conversation helps you feel seen, held, and full of hope.

This isn’t small talk. It’s Spirit Filled Girl Talk.
