This conversation is for the mother carrying love and grief at the same time.

In this special Mother’s Day episode of the She Grew Anyway podcast, Alicia opens up about the quiet pain of loving a child from a distance.

This episode was inspired by Chapter 13 of her book She Grew Anyway and is an honest conversation about estrangement, heartbreak, hope, healing, and the ways God sustains us emotionally through painful seasons.

Together, we’re talking about:

loving your child through distance

motherhood and silent grief

healing without becoming bitter

trusting God with broken relationships

emotional healing for mothers

learning how to keep your heart soft while healing

Sis… distance does not erase your love.

Your prayers still matter.

Your motherhood still matters.

And God is still holding your heart together even here.

💛 This week’s growth assignment:

Take a few quiet moments and pray honestly for your child.

Not the polished prayer.

The real one.

Bring your grief, hope, love, disappointment, and longing before God .

Because even when you cannot reach them directly, your prayers still can.
