The Connected Life

326: Opening Your Heart After Loss


Listen Later

Many of us have experienced moments of life that seem to unravel faster than we can hold them together. The crushing weight of our problems and pain can feel like they will leave us broken forever. But what if love has the power to change everything?

In this episode, Justin and Abi sit down with their good friend Kyle as he shares about his journey through profound trauma, grief, and emotional shutdown—and what it looked like to slowly come back to life. From losing his mom to ALS, navigating early marriage while serving as a full-time caregiver, to watching his wife battle an eating disorder—Kyle opens up about the unexpected spiritual encounters that saved him from the self-loathing and despair that almost swallowed him alive.

If you’ve ever felt locked in shame, burdened by trauma, or like you’ve lost yourself along the way—this episode is a reminder that there’s more to your story than the pain you’ve lived through and that healing starts with just a baby step towards love.
