In this very first episode of The Heart Sleeve Chronicles, host Brooke Outland Bryant sits down with her dear friend Issa Meeks for a deeply personal conversation about motherhood, loss, and the unshakable faith that holds even in the ache. Both mothers have lost children—Lyle and Blakely—and together, they open up about what it’s like to grieve with hope, walk through church doors with empty arms, and wrestle with the goodness of God when life breaks you.
They share tears, laughter, and the sacred mess of living with open hearts after unimaginable pain. This is a conversation about choosing eternal perspective, learning to hold both joy and grief, and moving toward rather than just moving on.
Whether you’ve experienced loss or love someone who has, this episode is a tender invitation to listen, learn, and linger in the holy tension of sorrow and hope.
