In this episode, Angie shares the many ways God is refilling her heart and soul in October before the very hard next couple of months approach. Hallie's Angelversary, the holidays and then Hallie's birthday. How can it be 3 years already? 

It’s the sacred pause — the intentional slowing down to listen to what your heart, body, and soul are quietly asking for. It’s giving yourself permission to refill before the tide of grief comes back in… a practice of honoring both the ache and the healing.

Thank you so much for being with us on this difficult road to God. Angie & Aric
