Hi Bizzy fam! In this heartfelt episode, I share openly about the grief I felt after Charlie Kirk’s passing and the weight of living in a world that feels heavy with darkness.

From the tears of September 10th to a vision of Charlie with the Blessed Mother, I open up about the way God brings comfort even when we don’t understand the “why.” These are the moments that test our faith but also invite us to lean in closer to Him.

This episode is about holding onto hope, choosing forgiveness over anger, and remembering that love is always stronger than hate. My prayer is that Charlie’s legacy inspires us all to live with courage, faith, and compassion.

🎧 Watch episode 573 here: YouTube.com/@ElizabethChance

Takeaways:

• Charlie Kirk’s passion inspired truth and courage—his legacy lives on.
• Violence and hate are demonic; faith and love are our weapons.
• Speak your truth, even if it costs you—America’s First Amendment demands it.
• Grief and darkness test us, but gratitude and prayer pull us through.
• Own your beliefs: God, recovery, patriotism—no shame in that.
• Don’t numb out; face life’s hardness with grace and community.
• Honor Charlie by smiling, forgiving, and flying your flag high.
• You’re not alone in the fight—reach out and stand together.
