On this episode we discuss grief with Whitney. "Grief is like the ocean; it comes in waves, ebbing and flowing. Sometimes the water is calm, and sometimes it's overwhelming. All we can do is learn to swim." -Vickie Harrison

Join our hopeful conversation with Lauren as she tells us about her experience living with anxiety disorder and the insight she has learned on her journey. What about medication? What about medication and THE CHURCH? ... she shares about the no-nos of anxiety and gives so much hope and support to others. COVID-19 has definitely increased anxiety for so many right now. Listen to the hope, the help and how to better support those around you.   "You”ll never get better until you stop trying to get better.” Paul David

Episode 19 and sheltering in place strong. We talk more about COVID-19, sheltering in place with young kids and what we're up to during this time. It's a crazy time for sure and Kathryn's "just trying to live!"

On this episode we speak with Hollie about infertility. Hear her talk about the hurt and loss, the hope on the other side and how "dirt and therapy" saved her life. We were honored that she shared about such a difficult subject and it's our hope this reaches others needing support and gives more information to supporters. We all need each other.    April 19-25 is national infertility awareness week. Listen in, reach out.   "Your trauma is valid. Even if other people have experienced “worse.” Even if someone else who went through the same experience doesn’t feel debilitated by it. Even if it “could have been avoided.” Even if it happened a long time ago. Even if no one knows. Your trauma is real and valid and you deserve a space to talk about it. It isn’t desperate or pathetic or attention-seeking. It’s self-care. It’s inconceivably brave. And regardless of the magnitude of your struggle, you’re allowed to take care of yourself by processing and unloading some of the pain you carry. Your pain matters. Your experience matters. And your healing matters. Nothing and no one can take that away." - Daniell Koepke
