There are some losses that words can barely hold. And yet — sharing them out loud can be the very thing that starts to set us free.

In this episode of Highlight Your Healing, I sit down with Liz, the heart behind the Healing Hearts Podcast, for one of the most tender and courageous conversations this show has ever held. Liz opens up about her personal journey through infant loss and how that pain became the foundation for a community built on grief, motherhood, connection, and healing.

If you have experienced a loss that felt too heavy to carry alone — this episode is for you.

We talk about:

· Liz's personal story and the loss that changed everything

· What grief after infant loss really looks like — and what it doesn't

· How she turned her pain into a purposeful space for other mothers

· The power of community and connection in the healing process

Listen, share, and pass this along to anyone who needs to know they are not alone.

What happens when life changes so dramatically that you change with it? Whether it's a diagnosis, a disability, or a loss that reshapes everything you thought you knew about yourself — the journey back to healing and purpose is real, and it is possible.

In this episode of Highlight Your Healing, I sit down with Ashley — a survivor and licensed therapist who brings two powerful perspectives to this conversation. She has lived through life-altering illness firsthand, and she now helps others navigate the grief, trauma, and identity shifts that come when life stops looking like what you planned.

Together we talk about:

• What it really means to heal when life has changed you
• How to navigate the tension between who you were and who you're becoming
• Finding purpose again when everything feels uncertain
• What permission you most need to give yourself in the middle of a hard season

If you have ever looked at your life after a major shift and wondered "who am I now" or "is healing even possible for me" — this episode was made for you.

What happens to your identity when the job is gone? Not just your income — but your sense of self, your purpose, your confidence?

In this episode of Highlight Your Healing, I sit down with Monique to talk about one of the most overlooked sides of job loss — the identity shift that comes with it. She works with high-capacity women and faith-driven professionals who are navigating some of life's most unexpected seasons, and she helps them answer the question so many are afraid to ask out loud — "Who am I when the title is gone?"

If you have ever tied your worth to what you do, this conversation is for you.

We talk about:

·        Why job loss hits deeper than finances

·        How to begin separating your identity from your title

·        The role faith plays in rebuilding your confidence

·        What it really looks like to turn a corner and step into what's next

Your title was never the fullness of who you are — and this episode is a reminder of that.
