This is the hardest episode I’ve ever recorded.
Marc and Holly Cram sat down with me to share the unfiltered, gut-wrenching story of losing their 13-year-old son, Beckham, in a tragic drowning accident. Holly opens up about the very fear she’d carried for years, her child drowning, becoming her reality. We walk through the moment it happened, the chaos that followed, and the sacred, soul-shifting days that came next.
But this isn’t just a story about loss. It’s about love, connection, and the invisible bridge between this world and the next. Marc and Holly speak candidly about how Beckham still communicates with them, how trauma freezes in the body, and how intentional healing has rebuilt their marriage and redefined their faith.
We also talk about Holly’s new course, How to Speak to God, a powerful invitation to reconnect with your own divine guidance, no matter your beliefs.
This episode will break your heart and put it back together in the most unexpected ways. If you’ve ever lost someone or wondered what healing could really look like… this conversation is for you.
