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.

After losing a child, even smiling can feel complicated.
Is it betrayal? Is it too soon? What will people think?

In this episode, we talk honestly about laughter after child loss — the guilt, the confusion, and the quiet moments when joy sneaks in unexpectedly. If you’ve ever caught yourself laughing and immediately felt the weight of “Am I allowed to feel this?” you’re not alone.

This is a gentle, real conversation for bereaved parents who are learning how to carry grief and joy at the same time — without shame.

You’re not forgetting your child.
You’re still loving them.
And yes… you’re allowed to smile again.
