Why Your First Thought Matters More Than You Think

Grief often crashes in the moment you wake up—before your feet even hit the floor.

But what if your first thought could become a place of peace, not panic? What if there was one small habit that could change the way you face every hard day?

In this powerful and personal episode, Teresa shares the morning practice that shaped her own healing after losing her son—and how it can anchor your heart too. This isn’t about checking a box or being “strong in faith.” It’s about gaining tools to use before your day begins.

📍 Inside this episode:

• The morning habit that quietly transforms your grief journey

• A surprising truth tucked inside Psalm 4 you may have never noticed

• How to invite peace into your day—before your feet even hit the floor

• A quiet invitation to let your first thoughts belong to Him

What do you do when forgiveness feels like betrayal? When someone’s reckless actions shattered your world… When the person you can’t forgive is yourself…

Forgiveness after the death of your child isn’t a quick fix or a cliché—it’s sacred, gut-wrenching work. And in today’s episode, Teresa shares honestly what it really looks like to walk this road, not because it’s easy, but because your soul is worth it.

📍 In this two-part teaching, you’ll hear:

• How to recognize the voice of shame and distinguish it from the Shepherd’s love

• Why grief distorts memory—and what to do when guilt won’t let go

• What it means to surrender the outcome you couldn’t change

• Why forgiveness is not approval, but a choice for your peace

• How to release others—even when they’ve never said “I’m sorry”

• What Scripture says about God’s justice, boundaries, and finding peace when the person responsible walks free

This isn’t about pretending you’re okay. It’s about learning how to breathe again—with Jesus holding every shattered piece of your heart.

You want to believe again—but you don’t know how. You used to feel close to God, but now… He feels so far away. And faith? It doesn’t come easy anymore.

In this tender episode, Teresa gently unpacks what faith really looks like after the loss of your child—and how to move toward God when your heart is shattered. It’s not about striving harder. It’s not about doing more. It’s about surrendering in the silence and letting Him meet you right where you are.

If you’ve whispered, “I need more faith” or wondered, “Why can’t I feel God anymore?”—this episode is your invitation to lean in.

🎧 Key Takeaways

• Why faith after child loss doesn’t look the way you expect—and that’s okay

• The #1 lie grieving moms believe about spiritual strength

• The quiet place where real faith begins (hint: it’s not your Bible study routine)

• A one-verse practice to help you hear from God when you feel numb

• What Scripture really says about feeling far from God—and the whisper you might be missing

Have you ever been singing in church when one lyric sends you spiraling back into the worst day of your life? Or you're walking through the grocery store when your child’s favorite ice cream cracks open a wave of grief that leaves you breathless?

Friend, those moments don’t have to own you.

In today’s episode, Teresa shares the neuroscience behind grief triggers, the biblical story of Peter’s restoration, and a gentle, research-backed method for replacing painful memories with ones that bring peace. You'll learn why your body responds the way it does—and what to do when it feels like your mind is stuck on replay.

Key Takeaways:

• The Body’s Alarm – why your brain stores trauma through sensory triggers

• Rewire vs. Repeat – what happens if painful memories aren’t replaced

• The Scene Swap – how recalling one good moment can shift everything

• Truth That Sticks – why pairing memory with scripture brings lasting peace

Grief doesn’t just impact your heart—it touches every relationship you have. And when you’ve lost a child, the need to protect your peace becomes essential.

In today’s episode, Teresa shares the truth about setting boundaries after child loss—from managing your closest relationships to protecting yourself from painful comments on the outside. You’ll learn why boundaries are sacred, how to express what you need, and how faith-filled clarity can change your healing journey.

This isn’t about shutting people out. It’s about honoring your grief and letting others know how to love you well.

3 Key Takeaways:

👉 What Boundaries Actually Are Why biblical boundaries aren’t walls—but loving frameworks that protect your peace and honor your grief.

👉 How to Express Your Needs Clearly Practical scripts to help you speak your truth—to your spouse, your children, your extended family, and even acquaintances.

👉 The Power of a Firm But Gentle “No” When to close the door, how to say it with grace, and why setting limits is a lifeline—not a rejection.

Mother’s Day can feel like a celebration for everyone else—while you’re silently breaking inside. Whether this is your first Mother’s Day without your child or your fifteenth, the ache is real and persistent.

In Episode 175, Teresa offers biblical guidance and deeply personal encouragement for grieving moms who are dreading the approach of Mother’s Day. With honesty, tenderness, and faith, she unpacks three scriptural truths to help you honor your grief, create space for hope, and let God meet you in the pain.

3 Key Takeaways:

👉 You Don’t Have to Celebrate You’re allowed to grieve on Mother’s Day. God honors your sorrow—and there is no pressure to perform or pretend. If you have surviving children who want to celebrate you, hold space for them too. You can set boundaries around when and how you gather, but don’t miss the chance to receive their love. Grieving as a family is hard, but connection brings life.

👉 God Still Calls You Mother Psalm 56:8 reminds us that God keeps track of every tear. Even when others forget, He never stops calling you His beloved daughter—and still sees you as a mother.

👉 Hope and Grief Can Coexist Psalm 34:18 says the Lord is close to the brokenhearted. Your pain doesn’t cancel your faith—hope can rise, even in your tears.

If you need support this Mother’s Day, this episode is your safe space.

Grief after child loss is more than a moment—it’s a world we now live in. And unless you’ve walked it, it’s hard to understand the layers that come with it.

In Episode 174, Teresa pulls back the curtain on what grieving parents carry every single day: the mental anguish, the silent triggers, the feeling of living in two worlds—the one before and the one after.

This isn’t just about sadness. It’s about the fight for identity, the moments of guilt and loneliness, the fear of forgetting and the ache of remembering.

But there is hope. There is companionship in the suffering. And there is One who walks with you in it all.

3 Key Takeaways:

👉 The Mind-Battle No One Sees How an unsuspecting word, sight, sound, or memory can create a domino effect in your mind and heart that leads to deep sadness—and the gentle practice that steadies your thoughts.

👉 Everyday Triggers You Didn’t See Coming Grocery stores, birthday parties, high school graduations—mapping yours so they don’t blindside you.

👉 Hope’s Open Invitation A single verse that opens the door to rest—even when your soul feels shut down.

Have you ever felt like the darkness might swallow every bit of light left in your life? In this powerful episode, Teresa explores the critical role of hope in your grief journey—especially when you feel like you have nothing left to give. Drawing inspiration from Holocaust survivors Viktor Frankl, Anne Frank, and Corrie ten Boom, she reveals why hope is far more than a "feel-good word." It’s your lifeline.

You’ll hear how even in the most unthinkable suffering, the human spirit—anchored in meaning, purpose, and faith—can persevere. And you’ll discover the proven ways you can begin building hope again, no matter how shattered you feel today.

 Takeaways:

👉 What Happens When Hope Dies Discover the truth behind rising death rates at Auschwitz—and why losing hope affects your body, not just your spirit.

👉 The One Anchor That Never Fails:

When grief shakes your foundation, this is the one anchor that will hold you steady. 

👉 The Simple Habit That Can Save Your Sanity It’s not therapy or medication—this 30-second shift rewires your brain for hope.

If you’re longing for purpose again… if you’re aching to believe joy could ever return… this episode was made for you.
