Welcome back to The In-Between Podcast! In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with Brooke Waugh, a remarkable individual whose life has been profoundly shaped by faith and the experience of significant personal loss. Brooke shares her journey from her upbringing in Las Vegas to grappling with the sudden death of her father, a police officer killed in the line of duty when she was just 15.

We delve into her successful career as a wedding planner, how she navigates grief while raising her children, and the touching ways she honors her father's memory, including a newly named park in his honor. Brooke offers insights into finding self-care, maintaining faith, and the importance of community and support through life's in-between moments.
