This episode is personal.
I sat down with Pastor Esther Maurice to talk about something many of us carry but rarely talk about out loud—grief.
Not just the grief that comes from death…
But the grief of broken dreams, failed relationships, unmet expectations, and the silent heartbreak of becoming who life didn’t let you be.
We talked about how grief and guilt often go hand in hand.
How you can have joy and pain in the same moment—and feel guilty for smiling when your heart still aches.
We talked about what it means to live with open wounds, to walk with faith through the fog of loss, and how God is still present in the broken places.
This conversation is for anyone who’s ever felt stuck between “I’m okay” and “I’m not okay.”
For those grieving quietly while the world moves on.
For the ones chasing purpose with a heavy heart.
You are not alone.
You can feel it all and still move forward.
You can be healing and still be called.
You can be grieving and still believe.
Press play. This one might just shift something in you.
