Show Notes

Can you measure heartbreak? Loneliness? Regret? Even if we could, would we want to know?

PS. This episode contains graphic, sobering content that could be triggering for the audience. Please take breaks when necessary, reach out if you need to and helplines are found below.

What can you do when you feel like you’ve hit rock bottom? When there’s absolutely no hope, no way out? What happens when you’re part of the reason you ended up there in the first place? While life is indeed wonderful, we must brave the seasons that come and “face the music”, even when it’s a genre we fear.

Hard to admit and face those things but in this episode, my friend Samantha does just that. She explores moments in her past that has marked her, bares her soul in retrospect and chooses to pave her way forward. Her courage is tangible. Her conviction is clear. 

I am so blessed to have had this opportunity, creating a platform for a naturally ‘listener’ person like Sam. As I edited this episode, I’m grateful that our best days are not behind us, they are ahead. 

“There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind.”
— Clive Staples Lewis
