I share how grief shook my faith, the Scriptures that reassured me my babies are with God (Psalm 139:13–16; Matthew 19:14; 2 Samuel 12:23; Psalm 103:8; Deuteronomy 32:4), and the small steps that helped me rebuild trust through community, church, and honest conversations.

In this episode, I talk about how I finally found a way to start feeling better after my loss. I share what it was like to start therapy, and one small phrase that changed my healing: “not right now.”

It’s a tool that helped me find peace when everything felt too heavy, and I hope it gives you permission to start feeling better too.

💛 Key Takeaways:

• Therapy can be SO helpful
• How telling yourself “not right now” is a beneficial tool for healing
• Journal your feelings and let it all out

💛 Key Takeaways:

• What “compound grief” really means and why it can feel paralyzing.
• Specific, thoughtful advice on how to support someone who’s grieving.
• Why starting matters, even when you don’t feel ready.

🎙️ A Quick Note:
