Your grief doesn't have an expiration date — but society kind of acts like it does. In this video, I'm breaking down why the world forgets your child, why it's not entirely their fault (but also kind of is), and — most importantly — two tangible practices to help you stay tethered to the truth of who your child was when everyone else has moved on.

What you'll walk away with: 

✅ The Expiration Audit — 3 questions to reclaim your own grief timeline 

✅ The Memory Anchor Practice — a 3-part practice to keep your child's memory alive on the hard days

After child loss, anger can feel just as overwhelming as grief — and sometimes even guiltier. We’re taught that “strong faith” looks quiet, polite, and accepting. But what happens when your heart is shattered and your prayers sound more like accusations than praise?

In this episode, we’re talking about the “Angry Prayer.”

We’re diving into the Psalms of Lament — the raw, unfiltered prayers that prove screaming at Heaven might actually be the most faithful thing you can do.

You’ll learn:

• Why anger at God doesn’t mean you lack faith
• How the Bible gives permission for honest, messy grief
• What Psalm 88 teaches us about prayers that end in darkness
• A simple 4-step guide to writing your own lament
• Why wrestling with God is a form of intimacy, not rebellion

Everyone tells you God will comfort you. Nobody tells you He lets you cry first.

In Jeremiah 31:15, Rachel is weeping for her children — and God doesn't rush her, rebuke her, or tell her to have more faith. He speaks tenderly after she grieves. That sequence is not an accident. It's permission.

If you've felt pressure to "get to the peace" before you're ready, this one's for you.

What happens when you stand in a room full of women and tell the truth about grief?

In this episode, Becky shares reflections from a recent Christian women’s conference where she spoke about loss, faith, and the kind of joy that can still exist after unimaginable heartbreak.

She tells the story of her daughter Gracie — who lived just 82 days — and what it was like to share that story live in front of a room filled with women carrying their own hidden griefs. Because loss doesn’t always come in the form of a casket. Sometimes it’s a diagnosis, a shattered dream, or the life you thought you would have.

Together we explore:

• Why biblical joy isn’t pretending everything is okay
• The powerful moment when Mary Magdalene hears Jesus say her name
• What surprised Becky most about the women who approached her after the talk
• Three questions to help you find glimmers of joy even in deep grief

If you’ve ever thought “this isn’t the life I prayed for,” this conversation is for you.

Because joy doesn’t come from perfect circumstances.
It comes from the presence of a God who meets us right in the middle of our mourning.

After losing a child, guilt can show up fast — and loud. The “what ifs.” The replaying. The middle-of-the-night courtroom in your brain where you’re somehow both the defendant and the judge.

In this episode, I’m sharing the moment that haunted me after my daughter Gracie died — the night I left her bedside, not knowing it would be our last goodbye. And I’m walking you through five practical steps that helped me stop spiraling in guilt and start reclaiming peace:

• ​ How to acknowledge guilt without becoming it
• ​ How to fact-check your brain when the “what ifs” attack
• ​ Why you need to treat yourself like your best friend
• ​ How to flip the script and honor your child instead of punishing yourself
• Why isolation is guilt’s playground — and how to build your squad

Friend, guilt will try to convince you that you had a crystal ball. That you should have known. That you could have stopped the unstoppable.

But you are not God.

You are a mother who loved her child deeply.

And your love was enough.

Let’s fire your inner critic together.
