What happens when your world breaks open… and you find a way to keep breathing anyway?
In this deeply moving episode of Hope Comes to Visit, Danielle sits down with writer, speaker, and bold belief builder Kim Moldofsky, whose life changed forever after the loss of her son Isaac to suicide five years ago. Together, they explore the layered terrain of grief, motherhood, identity, and rebuilding — not with false positivity, but with grace, honesty, and deep reverence for what it means to be human.
Kim shares her path through profound sorrow into meaningful service — creating Scrappy Affirmations, launching Craft Your Life, and hosting storytelling gatherings that shine light on topics often kept in the shadows, like death, menopause, and midlife transformation.
This conversation is an invitation to normalize grief, unmask perfection, and reimagine how we honor the stories that shape us. It’s a tender, soulful offering for anyone navigating loss, healing, or the search for purpose on the other side of pain.
Because even in heartbreak, hope can still come to visit.
