What is a crisis—really?In this powerful and deeply personal conversation, we sit down with marriage crisis coach Dr. Becky Whetstone to explore what happens when life overwhelms our ability to cope—and how we begin to find our way forward.Dr. Becky shares both her professional expertise and her own lived experience, including the devastating loss of her Marine son to friendly fire, and the lifelong grief that followed. Together, we unpack the ways crisis can show up quietly, the cost of avoiding the truth, and why naming what’s real is often the first step toward healing.In this episode, we explore: growing up in the segregated South and the experiences that shaped her voice  the loss of her son and what it means to live forward through grief  how crisis is defined—and why it doesn’t always look the way we expect  why avoiding the truth often deepens the pain  what it means to take the next right step when everything feels uncertain This conversation is a reminder that crisis doesn’t mean the end of the story—it may be the moment that invites us to tell the truth, seek support, and begin again.🎧 Listen now and share with someone who might need it.We would love to hear from you—please send us some "Fan Mail"!Support the showHearing the stories of others helps us connect more deeply to our own—because legacy is built in how we live, every single day.💬 Subscribe, Review & ShareFollow the show, leave a 5-star review, and share this episode with someone who may need it. 🔗 Connect with UsHave a story or expertise to share?
