  • Ep #17: Learning Grief the Hard Way

    In this conversation with Anna McEvoy, we explore the complex and often misunderstood experience of grief. The kind of grief you can’t fully grasp until you’ve walked through it yourself. Anna shares honestly about how loss reshaped her daily life, her faith, her relationships, and her expectations of what healing “should” look like. Together, we talk about the hidden layers of grief, the surprising ways it shows up, and the compassion we can offer to ourselves and others in seasons of deep pain. This episode is a gentle invitation to slow down, listen, and acknowledge that grief is not something to fix, but something to be honored.

    Ever wonder what it’s like to spend a day out on the backpacking trail during Trek?
