Grief After Parent Loss: You Don’t Have to Be Strong All the Time Summary of the Episode: When you lose a parent, people often say, “You’re so strong.” But what happens when you don’t feel strong at all—when you’re exhausted from holding it together and hiding the weight of your grief? In this episode, I share my personal story of wrestling with the pressure to be “the strong one” after losing my dad.

Feeling Far From God After Parent Loss? Why Your Feelings Are Lying to You Grief has a way of making God feel distant. You pray, but it seems like your words hit the ceiling. You read Scripture, but it doesn’t bring the comfort it once did. You wonder, “God, where are You?” If you’ve ever wrestled with these thoughts, you’re not alone. But here’s the truth: Your feelings are real, but they are not always telling you the truth. God has not left you—grief is just loud. In this episode, we’ll unpack how grief can distort your perception of God, what Scripture says about His constant presence, and how to anchor yourself in truth even when you don’t feel it. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Why your emotions don’t always reflect reality, especially in grief How to combat the lie that God has abandoned you Biblical truths to hold onto when you feel spiritually numb Key Takeaways: Your feelings are valid, but they don’t define truth. God is with you, even when He feels far away. God’s presence is based on His promise, not your emotions. He will never leave you, even in your hardest moments. Grief can cloud your awareness of God, but it cannot remove Him. Keep showing up in faith, even when it feels dry. If this episode encouraged you, share it with a friend who needs to hear it.

In this episode, we’re breaking down the misconceptions around faith and therapy, looking at what Scripture really says, and exploring how God often works through people—including therapists—to bring healing. You’ll hear a personal story of how therapy changed my grief journey and why seeking help isn’t a sign of weak faith—it’s an act of surrender. If you’ve been struggling with grief, questioning whether it’s okay to seek help outside of prayer, or feeling like you have to carry this alone, this episode will bring clarity, encouragement, and hope.

Struggling to Hear God? How Silence Before the Lord Changes Everything When grief overwhelms you, does God feel distant? Do your prayers feel empty, as if they’re met with silence? You’re not alone. In this episode, we explore the power of stillness before the Lord—how choosing silence can deepen your faith, bring peace in the storm, and open your heart to hear God more clearly. Through personal testimony and biblical wisdom, we’ll look at Revelation 8:1, where even heaven pauses in silence before God. If stillness is a sacred act in heaven, what could it mean for your journey through grief? Learn how surrendering to God’s presence, rather than striving for answers, can transform the way you navigate pain and loss. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Why silence before God is a powerful act of trust in the midst of grief How stillness creates space to hear God’s voice more clearly Practical steps to incorporate silence into your faith journey for greater peace Key Takeaways: Silence is an act of trust. Choosing to be still before God is a way of surrendering control and resting in His presence. (Psalm 46:10) Stillness allows you to hear God. Like Elijah in 1 Kings 19, God often speaks in a gentle whisper—but we must quiet our hearts to listen. God fights for you in the silence. When we stop striving, we allow Him to work on our behalf. (Exodus 14:14) If you’re struggling to hear God in your grief, take this as an invitation to sit in His presence. He is near.

In this episode, we dive deep into one of the most powerful moments in Inside Out 2—Riley’s panic attack in the penalty box. This scene beautifully captures what a panic attack looks like on the outside and, more importantly, what it feels like on the inside. We’ll break down why panic attacks happen, how anxiety tries to protect us (even when it overwhelms us), and practical steps to regain control. If you’ve ever felt like your anxiety is too much to handle, this episode will give you tools to navigate those moments with both compassion and accountability—two key ingredients for emotional healing and growth.

Have you ever been told, “God won’t give you more than you can handle”? While it may sound comforting, it’s actually one of the most misleading pieces of advice out there. In this episode, we unpack why this phrase isn’t biblical, what God actually says about suffering, and how to find true strength when life feels overwhelming. If you’ve ever felt like your struggles are too much to bear, this episode will remind you that you were never meant to carry them alone—because God can handle what you can’t. What You’ll Learn: Why the phrase “God won’t give you more than you can handle” is misleading The difference between trials and temptation in Scripture What God actually promises when life feels too heavy Practical steps to rely on God instead of your own strength How to surrender guilt, fear, and overwhelm to Him Key Takeaways: God allows us to go through more than we can handle—so that we learn to rely on Him, not ourselves (2 Corinthians 1:8-9). 1 Corinthians 10:13 refers to resisting temptation, not suffering—it’s often misquoted. God promises to be with us in trials, not to remove all hardships (Isaiah 41:10, Psalm 46:1). When you feel overwhelmed, take action: Acknowledge your need for God—write down your burdens and surrender them in prayer. Speak truth over lies—memorize and declare verses like Psalm 103:12 and 2 Corinthians 12:9. Talk to someone—share your struggles with a trusted friend, mentor, or counselor. Focus on what you can control—ask, “How can I honor God in this?” instead of dwelling on the past.

Grief doesn’t just affect who we are today—it stirs up wounds from our past, often wounds we didn’t even realize were there. After coaching women through the loss of a parent, I’ve noticed a common theme: everyone has an inner child in need of healing. In this episode, we’ll explore what the “inner child” really is, why healing these past wounds is essential for your emotional and spiritual well-being, and how you can begin this journey toward peace and wholeness. Plus, I’ll share how coaching can support you in this process so you don’t have to do it alone. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: What the inner child really is (from a Christian perspective). Why healing your inner child can transform your mental health, relationships, and faith. How unresolved childhood wounds show up in your grief journey. Why healing is a process that takes time—but is worth it. How coaching can help you navigate this healing journey with support. Key Takeaways: Healing your inner child isn’t a one-time fix—it’s a journey that requires intentionality and support. Romans 12:15 reminds us that we don’t have to do this alone: “Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.” Working with a coach can provide the guidance and structure needed to work through past wounds in a safe and transformative way. Take one step today: Reflect on a childhood wound that may still be impacting you, pray over it, and invite God into the healing process.

Grief changes everything—including friendships. If you’ve ever felt abandoned by friends during your hardest moments and struggled to reconnect after loss, this episode is for you.

Healing broken friendships takes time, but God can restore what was lost. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Why grief often strains friendships. How to take the first step in reconnecting with old friends. The importance of grace, patience, and prayer in rebuilding relationships. Why different friends meet different needs—and why that’s okay.

Grief affects both you and your friends—give yourself and them room to grow. Friendships require effort. Show up for your friends in their joyful and painful moments. Not all friendships will look the same. Some friends will hold space for your grief, while others will bring lighthearted joy. Both are valuable. Pray over your friendships. Ask God to restore and strengthen the relationships that are meant to last.
