The holidays can bring both joy and heartache, especially when family relationships carry unhealed pain. In this vulnerable conversation, Amy and guest Wholehearted coach Kristen Yeh explore how faith and gratitude can steady us when love feels anything but easy.

Together, they talk about how to find hope in the hard —not by pretending everything’s fine, but by letting gratitude reshape what we notice, receive, and release.

Whether you’re navigating distance, disappointment, or deep wounds, this conversation offers spiritual rhythms and gentle encouragement to help you stay grounded in God’s goodness, even when relationships still ache.

“Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful.” Hebrews 10:23 NIV

Hope isn’t naive optimism; it’s a practice of faith. And gratitude becomes a spiritual rhythm that reorients us toward what is true and good when everything else feels uncertain.
